Wednesday 17th May, 2017 – Riesling Wine Dinner, Roux at Parliament Square It’s marginally easier to get a table at Roux at Parliament Square than it is at parent-restaurant Le Gavroche (which is to say we’ve been to Parliament Square twice now and I’ve only ever managed to get a table at Le Gavroche once,…

Travel 2017 – A Suggested London Itinerary
Three Days in London Let’s assume you have three days to spare in London. Here’s what I’d suggest: Day 1 You could start at Borough Market and maybe have a late breakfast/early lunch there instead of at your hotel. In fact if you set your mind to it you can eat your way into a…
Food 2017 – La Strada Nuovo, Towcester
Saturday 8th April, 2017 – La Strada Nuovo, Towcester There seem to be ever more eating options around our home town that fit in the “Saturday night dinner out without booking three years in advance and taking out a mortgage” bracket, and La Strada Nuovo now squarely fits that bill, after a rocky handful of…
Food 2016/2017 – Food “Boxes”
2016/2017 Food – Food Boxes It’s a phenomenon that’s been bubbling away under the radar in many people’s cases for some considerable time. A number of companies will basically send you all the ingredients (or almost all, but we’ll come to that) you need to feed a set number of people 3 or 4 meals….
Food 2017 – Eneko, One Aldwych, London
Saturday 26th March, 2017 – The Lobby Bar and Eneko, One Aldwych, London A post-theatre dinner here was on the cards after much enthusiasm in certain press quarters about the food at Eneko, somewhere on the premises of One Aldwych. It helped that the cuisine in question is meant to be Basque and as a…
Travel/Food 2017 – Copenhagen
Monday 20th March – Friday 24th March, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark After a week in January and three in February it was a pleasure to be back in Copenhagen in what theoretically should have been better weather and more daylight. You would not have thought it on my arrival. It was absolutely throwing it down…
Food 2017 – Sakura, Northampton
Tuesday 7th March, 2017 – Sakura, Northampton A teppanyaki restaurant is not what you expect to find on a city centre road junction in the middle of Northampton, nowhere near to anything even vaguely hip (and to be fair you’d have a lot of trouble finding anything vaguely hip anywhere near Northampton, a town I…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Weekend 2, Day 2
Sunday 19th February, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark A and I started our second day of sightseeing by making an early start to get across to the Round Tower for its 10am opening so we could get up to the top ahead of the crowds. A short metro ride (having finally learned to spot the metro…
Food/Travel 2017 – Copenhagen (Week 3)
Monday 20th February to Friday 24th February, 2017 – Copenhagen So one more week in Copenhagen and slowly going nuts in the Radisson Blu Scandinavia because actually three weeks in the same hotel is too long for anyone. The first night of the week I didn’t really feel like going far so wandered out with…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Weekend 2, Day 1
Saturday 18th February, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark And so after another week at the training coalface, A. arrived in good time on the Friday evening for us to indulge in a quick drink in the hotel bar before we trekked over to O Tempo (using slightly more buses than might have been necessary if we’d…
