Thursday, 13th October 2016 – The Vine House, Paulerspury We’ve loved the Vine House for some considerable time, even if we can’t afford it too often, given that we never seem to be able to get out without spending twice as much on wine as we do on food. However, for special events it’s very…

Theatre 2016 – No Man’s Land, London
Saturday, 8th October 2016 – No Man’s Land, Wyndham’s Theatre, London An opportunity presented itself early on this year to lay hands on tickets to see No Man’s Land at Wyndham’s Theatre in Covent Garden. When the two leads are played by Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen it would have been frankly churlish not to…
Food 2016 – Vinn Goute, London
Thursday 3rd October 2016 – Vinn Goute, Kerb @ Quay, Canary Wharf, London So, another working in the office day, another weekly trip to Kerb on the Quay for lunch. This time my plan was to investigate Vinn Goute, who claim to be turning out Seychelles cooking for the masses. It was the word “goat”…
Music 2016 – Erja Lyytinen, The Stables, Wavendon
Sunday, 1st October 2016 – Erja Lyytinen, The Stables, Wavendon, Milton Keynes A Sunday night in October at The Stables in Wavendon, and there we were, yet again crammed into the Stage2 space waiting for something interesting! In this case, the act was Erja Lyytinen, a Finnish blues guitar player who, I confess, I had…
Food 2016 – Akasaka, Wolverton
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…
Events 2016 – Cars in the Claydons
Friday 2nd September & Saturday, 3rd September 2016 The inaugural Cars in the Claydons event may have been low key in terms of numbers, not in any way helped by the somewhat inclement verging on downright horrible weather on Saturday afternoon, though there were stretches of time when it was almost pleasant to wander the…
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…
