Tuesday, 6th September 2016 – Cameron’s Kitchen, Stony Stratford An email in late August alerted me to the fact that one of my favourite eating places, Cameron’s Kitchen, in Stony Stratford was rolling out a new menu, with lots of starters/sharing plates, a small selection on more conventional meat, fish and vegetarian options, and a…

Food 2016 – Murrays, Whittlebury Hall
Friday, 2nd September 2016 – Murrays, Whittlebury Hall For reasons it’s hard to fathom we’ve never eaten at Whittlebury Hall bar the one occasion when we went to the Silson AC 35th Anniversary Dinner. I would argue that this does not count as it’s not fair to judge any restaurant on what is produced in…
Food 2016 – The Crooked Billet, Newton Longville
Saturday, 20th August 2016 – The Crooked Billet, Newton Longville, Milton Keynes We’d eaten at The Crooked Billet before (for a Burns Night Supper when there’d been a set menu) and had been meaning for some time to come back on a “normal” night, so a flying visit from a friend to collect a barbeque…
Food 2016 – The Braai Shack, Wolverton
Friday, 26th August, 2016 – The Braai Shack, Wolverton Just to prove it’s not all fine dining, Michelin Stars and Gault-Millau around these parts, last weekend we took a trip to the Braai Shack, a South African restaurant in one half of a pub in one of the shabbier bits of Milton Keynes, Wolverton. With…
Food 2016 – Cameron’s Kitchen, Stony Stratford
Friday, 19th August 2016 – Cameron’s Kitchen, Stony Stratford For some time now chef Dan Cameron , a Master Chef, The Professionals finalist, has been running his eponymous restaurant in a quiet corner of Stony Stratford, just on the edge of Milton Keynes. Rebranding from Cameron’s to Cameron’s Kitchen came after a fire all but…
Food 2016 – The Gilbert Scott, London
Saturday, August 6th, 2016 – The Gilbert Scott, The St. Pancras Hotel, London We like a post-theatre meal and with a visit to the Almeida Theatre in the afternoon, this was the perfect opportunity to try out the Gilbert Scott restaurant, especially as I had an offer for the three course set menu plus a…
Travel 2016 – Lübeck, Aalst, Day 19
Day 19 – Saturday 23rd July (Lübeck, Aalst) Moose count = in Germany? What do you think? So technically not Finland anymore but it was part of the trip so it gets the heading anyway… This was the day I seriously questioned the sanity of driving all the way from the top of Germany to…
Travel 2016 – Haikko, Helsinki, Travemünde, Lübeck, Days 17-18
Day 18 – Thursday 21st July (Haikko, Helsinki, Travemünde, Lübeck) Moose count = Nope. Nada. Zilch. What moose? There are no moose! Finland has no moose! Finland needs no moose! With the ferry scheduled for 15:00 latest check in there wasn’t a great deal of time to achieve anything much. We “scientifically” packed the car,…
Travel 2016 – Porvoo, Day 16
Day 16 – Wednesday, 20th July (Porvoo) Moose count = Are you trying to be funny?! The day began with breakfast on the terrace at Haikko Manor itself in the Romanov Dining Room – and very good it was too with all sorts of choice and lots of lactose and gluten free options, so much…
Travel 2016 – Imatra, Hameenlinna, Akaa, Haikko, Day 15
Day 15 – Tuesday 19th July (Imatra, Hameenlinna, Akaa, Haikko) Moose count = what do you think? Zero! That’s how many! We were back in the realm of the slightly surreal again this time, but first we needed to check out of the hotel after getting our own breakfast sorted. For the third time I Iet…
