Sunday 15th September 2019 – Boppard, Schloss Rheinfels, Illkirch After an excellent, and beautifully presented, breakfast at the Landgasthof Eiserner Ritter, which made us regret what we’d had for dinner the night before even more, we packed up ready to move on. It was a glorious day, and we had a plan to start by…

Friday, 13th/Saturday, 14th September 2019 – Home to Boppard and Oberwesel, Germany Early in the afternoon, after handing off some outstanding work to a colleague, we set off across country to Hull to catch the overnight P&O ferry to Rotterdam, stopping on the outskirts of Hull to buy a flat (please don’t ask; the short…
Events 2019 – Sauce Supper Club at House Restaurant, London
Monday, 19th August 2019 – Sauce Supper Club at House Restaurant, The National Theatre, London This had been hovering on our radar for some time, after a number of events elsewhere in the country on dates we couldn’t do, but finally we managed to find a date we could do, and we duly booked in…
2019 Food – The Hovingham Inn, Hovingham
Saturday, 3rd August 2019 – The Hovingham Inn, Hovingham Right. I’m going to declare an interest here. I love The Hovingham Inn and want it to succeed so much that I’ve actually invested money in it. That investment was based on the past record of the team running it, Richard and Lindsey Johns. We’ve eaten…
Food 2019 – The Clarendon, Hebden
Friday, 2nd August 2019 – The Clarendon, Hebden I’m not sure how long Lionel Strub has been up in Hebden without us getting there to try the food, but it’s definitely too long (and research suggests he’s been there 5 years!). In fact the last time I ate food prepared by him, it was at…
2019 Travel – Harewood House, Harewood, Leeds
Saturday, 3rd August 2019 – Harewood House, Harewood, Leeds I’m sure I must have been to Harewood House at some time during my years growing up in Yorkshire, though I have no memory whatsoever of doing so. We had relatives in Leeds, and visited frequently from Hull, but as I say I have no recall…
Food 2019 – Blo Deady at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston
Friday, 19th July 2019 – Blo Deady After the disappointment of the previous supper club event (Aldo Zilli) it was good to be back at West Hall with no mention of the Daily Telegraph, and a chef on fine form in the kitchen. That chef was the slightly oddly named Blo Deady, a private chef…
Travel 2019 – Porto, Street Art
Thursday, 11th July/Monday, 15th July 2019 – Porto, Street Art Street art seems to be very much a thing of the moment, and I’d heard rumours that Porto had quite a lot. It may well do, but we really didn’t find much on this trip. Perhaps we were looking in the wrong places, perhaps it’s…
Food 2019 РBaṛo Fladgate, Vila Nova de Gaia
Monday, 15th July 2019 – Barão Fladgate, Vila Nova de Gaia Knowing we’d be flying home late we’d planned to have a good lunch somewhere, possibly with a spot more port thrown in for good measure. When I booked a table at Barão Fladgate, I don’t think I’d anticipated just how good a lunch it…
Travel 2019 – Porto, Day 5
Monday, 15th July 2019 – Porto, Day 5 Monday was our final day in Porto, but between a late checkout (at 4pm) and an even later flight (9pm) we had a whole day to enjoy further. We were slightly restricted as to where we could go by the fact that quite a lot of touristy…
