Monday, 8th October 2018 – Game Dinner, Le Gavroche, London I’m a massive fan of Michel Roux Jr and his cooking style, which is basically proper French cooking taken to the extremes of refinement, nothing flash, nothing “molecular”, nothing outré or extreme, just the best possible ingredients, cooked to perfection. However, as a consequence, it’s…

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 – 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/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…
Food 2018 – Hibiscus, Northampton
Tuesday 13th February, 2018 – Hibiscus, Derngate Theatre, Northampton It being Lynne’s birthday (and a significant birthday at that) we would normally have celebrated at The Vine House but they were closed while Julie, one half of the couple who own the place, was having a knee replacement operation. We needed an alternative venue and…
Food 2018 – Frenchie, London
Saturday, 3rd February 2018 – Frenchie, Covent Garden, London A post-theatre treat after a trip to see Mary Stuart at the Duke of York’s Theatre. We’d come out of the theatre slightly too late to get a table for cocktails at the Beaufort Bar in the Savoy, so we’d fallen back on our usual fail-safe,…
Travel/Food 2018 – Copenhagen Brewpub, Hotel Danmark, Copenhagen
Monday, 29th/Tuesday 30th January 2018 – Hotel Danmark, Copenhagen Brewpub, Copenhagen I’ve been over to Copenhagen three times already this year and it seems odd that I don’t currently have a trip scheduled for this month… anyway, I’ll start with the first trip of the year, back in January. Once again faced with the idea…
