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,…

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…
Food 2018 – Le Mirazur, Menton
Sunday, February 18th 2018 – Le Mirazur, Menton Back before Christmas we were sitting at home watching the latest series of Masterchef: The Professionals, and it was the penultimate programme. The remaining three competitors were shipped off to the south of France to cook at Le Mirazur. It looked amazing, and given that we knew…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 2
Saturday, February 17th 2018 – Monaco A late start was called for after a good night’s sleep. We aimed for a 10:00am breakfast, missed by 15 minutes, and finally got our act into gear to go out a little after 11. We’d decided that, despite the fact that we pretty much know Monte Carlo like…
Food 2018 – Blue Bay Restaurant, Monaco
Saturday, February 17th, 2018 – The Blue Bay Restaurant, Monaco We’d been looking for somewhere good to eat that wasn’t going to be stupidly expensive (which ruled out almost everywhere up by Casino Square) and I’d settled instead on the Blue Bay, just along the coast road towards Menton, at the point almost of the…
Travel 2018 – Monaco, Day 1
Friday, 16th February 2018 – Vence, Monaco And so for Lynne’s 60th birthday weekend away we found ourselves on a stupid o’clock BA flight from Heathrow to Nice where we picked up a hire car (after a certain amount of trying to battle our way through the chaos that is the building work going on…
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,…
