11th February to 18th March 2018 – 185 Watling Street, Ten Hands Café, The Ganges, Towcester We’ve been doing a fair amount of local eating again with the start of 2018 and have revisited some old favourites as well as test running some new entrants to the local restaurant scene. With the town growing rapidly…

Food 2018 – Hibiscus, Northampton
Friday, 13th April 2018 – Hibiscus, Northampton And so, knowing we would be out at the Errol Flynn Filmhouse later in the evening, we decided we’d have a second shot at Hibiscus, the fine dining restaurant (their words, not mine, but it is justifiable) tucked away inside the building. We’d booked in early with intent…
Food 2018 – Le Cigalon, London
Monday, 9th April 2018 – Le Cigalon, London Le Cigalon sent me an email inviting me to test drive their new 5 course menu for £29.50 a head (it’s normally £36.50 for 3 courses), which for central London is a massive bargain. Having discussed catching up over dinner with our friend Janice I asked her…
Food 2018 – Launceston Place, London
Sunday, April 1st 2018 – Launceston Place, London In London for a couple of exhibitions, we decided that we should stop off for an Easter Sunday lunch somewhere close to the Design Museum where we had tickets for Ferrari: Under the Skin in the afternoon. The morning saw us at the National Gallery, viewing Reflections:…
Food 2018 – Elsie’s Cafe “Binner”, Northampton
Tuesday, 27th March 2018 – Elsie’s Cafe, The Lane Restaurant, Northampton I’ve been following Elsie’s Cafe for a while now on social media. Elsie’s Cafe was started as part of a response to The Real Junk Food Project, which led to a group of people who had set up Fruitful Abundance in Northamptonshire to decide…
Travel/Food 2018 – Kødbyens Fiskebar, Copenhagen
Wednesday, 21st/Friday, 23rd March 2018 – Tivoli Food Hall, Kodbyens Fiskebar, Copenhagen Back again, this time for two nights, I made it to the lovely Hotel Danmark by around 20:30, spent five minutes unpacking and then headed to the lobby to meet up with Andy, my colleague. We’d agreed that we’d go for dinner together,…
Travel 2018 – Vienna (Ideas for Tourists)
Monday, 19th March 2018 – Vienna Ideas To an extent this was a post for a very specific person back in 2005, but it was also a very useful exercise for me as a planning post – I’ve rechecked all the links and they are fully up to date so when next I visit it…
Food 2018 – Cassons, Tangmere
Saturday, 16th March 2018 – Cassons, Tangmere There are areas of the country that seem very bleak from a culinary point of view. Sussex, thankfully, is better than most counties in this respect, so while we were not exactly spoiled for choice when we went down to Goodwood, we did at least have a decent…
Travel/Food 2018 – Gorilla, Copenhagen
Tuesday, 27th/Wednesday 28th February 2018 – Gorilla, Copenhagen And so for the second time this year I found myself in Copenhagen on business. This trip was quite a lot tougher. Due to a variety of circumstances, some of them down to my own lack of organisation, we’d been out late in London the night before…
Food 2018 – Locanda Locatelli, London
Monday, February 26th 2018 – Locanda Locatelli, London February got slightly out of control when the lovely people at the Harden’s Guide announced their latest dinner. This would be at Locanda Locatelli, a restaurant we last visited in 2009 for a friend’s 40th birthday. It was lovely then, and given that Giorgio Locatelli is one…
