Saturday 20th January, 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford Finally, 8 days after my birthday, we actually got to go and have a celebratory dinner. We had intended to do it the previous weekend, but I was outsmarted by OpenTable, and my booking at The Harrow in Little Bedwyn somehow got transposed from Saturday to…

Food 2017 – Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton
Friday 13th October, 2017 – Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton If there’s one restaurant in the UK that I would sell my grandmother to eat at, it’s probably le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. I make no secret of my admiration for Raymond Blanc, and having met him a couple of times now, I’m even more…
Food/Travel 2017 – Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, Victoria and Albert Museum, Mere, London
Saturday 9th September, 2017 – Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, Victoria and Albert Museum, London On Saturday we headed off into town to catch up on another exhibition we’d been after getting too for some time, an audio-visual extravaganza on the life and times of Pink Floyd, titled “Their Mortal Remains” at the Victoria and…
Travel/Food 2017 – Gorilla, Copenhagen
Monday, 4th/Tuesday, 5th September 2017 – Gorilla, Copenhagen And so once more to Copenhagen on business, this time with no choice but to stay at the accursed Radisson Blu Scandinavia. Didn’t stop me and my colleague Andy from having a good dinner though! He has got into the habit of either eating in the hotel…
Food 2017 – The Crazy Bear, Stadhampton
Friday 4th August, 2017 – The Crazy Bear (Thai Restaurant), Stadhampton We’d been to the Crazy Bear in Stadhampton before using a Groupon but we hadn’t tried a set meal in the Thai restaurant. This time we were going the whole hog. It was a lovely evening when we arrived, the sun shining, so we…
Food 2017 – Nelson Street Restaurant, Buckingham
Saturday July 1st, 2017 – Nelson Street Restaurant, Buckingham It’s always exciting when you find a new restaurant that looks like it might plug the almighty hole in the “fine-dining” category that is the Northamptonshire/Buckinghamshire area. For a patch of the country that contains a fair amount of disposable income it’s always seemed odd that…
Food 2017 – Street Food, Various Locations, London
Various Thursdays – Kerb at the Gherkin, Lunch Market and Borough Market Working now in the City I have access to a lot more choice for lunch than the ghastly chains of Canary Wharf with the once a week street food provided by Kerb. Instead I am now withing walking distance of another Kerb, this…
Food 2017 – The London Shell Company, Regent’s Park Canal
Saturday 24th June, 2017 – The London Shell Company, Regent’s Canal, London There’s been quite a bit of buzz around the London Shell Company of late, with reviewers including Jay Rayner (whose opinion I value) loving it, and Michel Roux Jr featuring it in his Hidden Restaurants programme. For Saturday evenings the barge heads off…
Food 2017 – Paris House, Alsace Wine Dinner
Thursday June 1st June, 2017 – Alsace Wine Dinner, Paris House, Woburn It’s been quite the Spring for wine dinners after almost a year with none. This time we had moved on from the Mosel to Alsace, and swapped to a new restaurant (new to us anyway) in the shape of Paris House on the…
2017 Food – Rascill’s, Raskelf
Sunday 27th May, 2017 – Rascill’s, Raskelf I need to say this. Rascill’s is one of those restaurants I absolutely love. I just wish I didn’t live so far away (162 miles) or I’d be there at least once a month! Our trip to Hull gave us the perfect excuse to detour slightly on our…
