Friday 30th September 2016 – Akasaka, Wolverton, Milton Keynes I like Japanese food as much as – OK, probably more than in some cases – the next person, so the fact that there’s one a 25 minute drive away from home makes me wonder why we don’t go rather more often. Anyway, having managed to…

Food 2016 – L’Autre Pied, London
Saturday, 28th May 2016 – L’Autre Pied, London Sometimes, just sometimes, there’s a Groupon offer that is just too good to turn down, and that makes going into London on a Saturday worth the effort. The offer of a tasting menu at two for the price of one at the one-Michelin starred l’Autre Pied was…
Food 2016 – Cameron’s Kitchen, Stony Stratford
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,…
