Food 2019 – The Muddy Duck, Hethe

Saturday, 20th April 2019 – The Muddy Duck, Hethe Following on from a theatre trip to Stratford-upon-Avon to see the sublime Kunene and the King at the Swan Theatre, and unhappy to remain in the town on a sunny holiday weekend when you could barely move for the crowds everywhere, we headed cross country towards…

Food 2019 – Wine Dinner, Cigalon, London

Tuesday, 26th March 2019 – German Wine Dinner, Cigalon, London I’m rather fond of Cigalon, on London’s Chancery Lane, and in particular I’m partial to both its monthly menu “test sessions”, which are usually on a Monday, and now of their wine dinners having attended a recent one. A reasonable (for London anyway) £50 per…

Food 2019 – The White Hart, Preston Bissett

Saturday, 23rd March 2019 – The White Hart, Preston Bissett This was a bit of an unexpected one. The White Hart had popped up on my social media radar with a friend request, and while I didn’t know exactly who they were (or for that matter precisely where Preston Bissett was, though the postcode suggested…

Food 2019 – Frog by Adam Handling, London

Thursday, 7th March 2019 – Frog by Adam Handling, London Back in London again for another theatrical event, and having kept costs down on our previous visit, post seeing Sir Ian McKellen, talking entertainingly and at surprising length about his career now he’s turned 80, at the Duke of York’s Theatre, we opted to go…

Food 2019 – Parsons, London

Saturday, 2nd March 2019 – Parsons, London In London for a theatre trip, it’s always a bit of a challenge deciding where to eat and when. This time, post seeing Gillian Anderson in the rather splendid “All About Eve” at the Noel Coward Theatre in the afternoon, and having fortified ourselves with cocktails at Seven…

Food 2019 – Gorilla, Copenhagen

Wednesday, 25th February 2019 – Gorilla, Copenhagen There are undoubtedly worse things that being stuck in a foreign city when you’re not well. However, on the day in question I couldn’t imagine what those things might be. Feeling completely rotten, and having coughed, sneezed and snuffled my way through a full day of meetings, I…

Food 2019 – Sanchez, Copenhagen

Monday, February 24th 2019 – Sanchez, Copenhagen Sanchez has been open since the end of 2017 and there’s been so much buzz around the place that I realised I needed to get there. Arriving in Copenhagen on my own with no colleagues in tow, I had the choice of going wherever I chose for dinner…

Food 2019 – French Affaire, Stony Stratford

Friday, 8th February 2019 – French Affaire, Stony Stratford I’d got wind of a new place opening up in Stony Stratford, in the space that used to be Cameron’s Kitchen. With Dan and Ailie having moved on, it stood empty for a while but is now a currently predominantly lunchtime place called French Affaire. However,…

Food 2018/2019 – Boisdale at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston

Friday, 23rd November 2018/Friday, 25th January 2019 – Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston Weston Hall is a somewhat crumbling small stately “pile” in the wilds of Northamptonshire (it’s a bugger to find, let me tell you, as it doesn’t seem to show up on any SatNav in any meaningful way – putting the postcode in…

Food 2019 – Anarki, Copenhagen

Thursday, January 25th 2019 – Anarki, Copenhagen January was mostly quiet, if you ignore the massive birthday party I threw in the second week, and meant that there wasn’t a great deal to write about. However, I did have another business trip to Copenhagen, and having stayed one night longer than my fellow non-Danish colleagues…
