Thursday, 11th July 2019 – London, Porto, Restaurant Palco After a great deal of messing about, mostly with structural questions, the planned extension to our home will not now start until January 2020, so having reached that conclusion, we decided we could actually book some holiday time. And so we found ourselves in the car,…

Food 2019 – Cocktail Recipes (Caipirinha, Sinatra Smash, Long Mango, Kentucky Smash)
Sunday, 7th July 2019 – Cocktail Recipes (Caipirinha, Sinatra Smash, Long Mango, Kentucky Smash) Here are some of my favourite cocktail recipes, starting with my absolute favourite, the caipirinha. Never let anyone make one using any other method! The Sinatra Smash is something I enjoyed in our Macau days at the utterly splendid Cinnebar in…
Food 2019 – The Frog Hoxton, London
Monday, 24th June 2019 – The Frog Hoxton, London “Harden’s Invites you to Dinner with Adam Handling at The Frog Hoxton“; that’s what the email said, coming through on the heels of our visit to the most upmarket of the Frog outposts in Covent Garden. We thought it would be interesting to see what the…
Food 2018/2019 – Zinc Bar, Buckingham; The Garage, Buckingham
Friday, 26th October 2018/Saturday, 15th June 2019 – The Garage, Buckingham Friday, 26th October 2018 – The Garage, Buckingham The Garage has been open for a while now, based in – you guessed it – an old garage in the middle of Buckingham.

Food 2019 – The Chinese Cricket Club, London
Wednesday, 22nd May 2019 – The Chinese Cricket Club, London This one was not of my choosing – it was a work-related dinner – but turned out to be much better than you might expect of a restaurant in an hotel (the Crowne Plaza Blackfriars). With a group of 13 of us booked to dine…
Food 2019 – Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston
Friday, 17th May 2019 – Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants A couple more Weston Supper Club events came and went in May and July, with mixed results, the July event being far more successful than this one, which was disappointing in a number of ways. The Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants event was…
Food 2019 – Sunday Lunch at the Muddy Duck, Hethe
Sunday, 5th May 2019 – The Muddy Duck, Hethe Having tested the “normal” small plates menu at the Muddy Duck a couple of weekends back, we headed that way again over the recent bank holiday weekend to try out Sunday lunch as a birthday celebration for one of our closest friends. Would they measure up?…
Food 2019 – Pied à Terre at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston
Friday, 26th April 2019 – Pied à Terre, Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston Friday night was another of the Weston Hall supper club events, this time with the cooking provided by Pied à Terre, a London restaurant I still haven’t got to (though I did eat at its now-departed sister restaurant, the rather brilliant L’Autre…
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…
