Tuesday, 30th October 2018 – FIAT, Copenhagen On the middle of three nights in Copenhagen I’d arranged to have dinner with a friend who I had only ever met online, Maria. Although she’s Swedish, she works in Copenhagen (we know each other through the online community based around a weight loss website weightlossresources.co.uk, that we…

Food 2018 – Hibiscus, Northampton
Saturday, October 13th 2018 – Hibiscus, The Derngate Theatre, Northampton It’s true – if unkind – that when thinking of Northampton the last thing that comes to mind is fine dining, but with the county’s annual food and drink awards coming up in a couple of weeks, and the announcement of the Restaurant of the…
Food 2018 – Game Dinner, Le Gavroche, London
Monday, 8th October 2018 – Game Dinner, Le Gavroche, London I’m a massive fan of Michel Roux Jr and his cooking style, which is basically proper French cooking taken to the extremes of refinement, nothing flash, nothing “molecular”, nothing outré or extreme, just the best possible ingredients, cooked to perfection. However, as a consequence, it’s…

Food 2018 – The Hopping Hare, Duston
Tuesday, 11th September 2018 – The Hopping Hare, Duston This was one we’d been meaning to try for a while, having heard good things about it on the grapevine. There was a rumour the chef had once worked at the late lamented Roade House, and that he was in good form here. We were keen…
Travel 2018 – Goodwood Revival, Goodwood
Sunday, 9th September 2018 – Goodwood Revival Meeting, Goodwood 2018 was the year of Goodwood for us. Having failed to get to any of the main meetings in previous years, largely because they tended to clash with international F3 meetings elsewhere in Europe, we’d pretty much given up on the idea. Last year, the club…
Food 2018 – The Plough, Shutlanger
Saturday, 1st September 2018 – The Plough, Shutlanger For a while we’d been having to avoid the Plough, simply because it was proving too hard to get there, the main route being closed for bridge repairs. As a result we would have had to drive the long way round, doubling the distance and the journey…
Travel 2018 – Hotel Shiskinn, Snovjanka, Ukraine
Tuesday, 28th August/Friday, 31st August 2018 – Hotel Shiskinn, Snovjanka, Ukraine Having spent four days at the hotel, I’m more than a little amused by some of its claims to “Western” service levels and such like, so I’ll try and be fair because if you do find yourself in this part of Ukraine, I suspect…
Food 2018 – The Butcher’s Arms, Greens Norton
Saturday, 18th August 2018 – The Butcher’s Arms, Greens Norton Greens Norton is probably the nearest village to where we live, and the local pub seems to have gone through some interesting times of late, changing hands more than once, before finally being bought by a consortium of villagers, who are now running it as…
