Food 2018 – Bar Encore, The Rice Bowl, Towcester
Saturday, 28th July 2018 – Bar Encore, The Rice Bowl, Towcester Well, we made a second stab at Bar Encore in town, hoping to test out their food. The menu claims they do tapas, but the reality that evening turned out to be that there was some technical issue in the kitchen which meant there…
Food 2018 – Potterspury House Restaurant, Potterspury
Friday, 27th July – Potterspury House Restaurant, Potterspury This was an odd one. Potterspury House Restaurant is tucked away in an old manor house type building that’s been converted into a day spa, and that also appears to do weddings, and it seems to be being run currently by the owners, with no input from…
Food 2018 – Maaya, Brasserie Blanc, Milton Keynes
Wednesday, 25th July 2018 – Brasserie Blanc, Milton Keynes This was an odd one… We tried to eat out twice during the week with the intention of testing new places and ended up failing completely on both occasions and having to fall back on old favourites instead. Sometimes it just all goes awry. On the…
Food 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford
Tuesday, 17th July 2018 – Provence Wine and Food Evening, The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford For what I think is their first ever wine and food evening, we found ourselves at the Oxford Kitchen on a school night, having finally managed to find a parking space (always problematic in Oxford) that was at least within sight…
Food 2018 – Murrays, Whittlebury Hall, Whittlebury
Saturday, 14th July 2018 – Murrays, Whittlebury Hall, Whittlebury We hadn’t been to Murrays for a while, but figured it was due the repeat visit we’d been promising ourselves, and so we booked a table, hoping for more atmosphere than last time (we went on the Saturday of the Moto GP meeting and were completely…
Food 2018 – Recipes (My Dad’s Potato Salad)
Thursday, 11th July – My Dad’s Potato Salad A while back I promised someone this recipe, and then forgot all about it. This is a somewhat ad hoc recipe, as I don’t think I’ve ever seen it written down. I just know how to do it! Ingredients (approximate quantities only): 1kg waxy potatoes 3 or…
Food 2018 – Pairings, York
Sunday, 8th July 2018 – Pairings, York For lunch on Sunday in York we took Richard’s at Rascills recommendation and sought out Pairings on Castlegate. He said we’d like it. He was absolutely right. Some of the seats looked a bit “medieval instruments of torture” but we found some chairs rather than bar stools and…
Travel/Food 2018 – York, Raskelf, Day 2
Saturday, 7th July 2018 – York, Raskelf Saturday morning was just as warm as Friday so we were quite pleased to have a variety of things indoors or at least undercover to do, starting with a visit to the Jorvik Viking Centre that we’d pre-booked to avoid having to queue. As we were ready a…
Food 2018 – Dyls, Skosh, York
Friday, 6th July 2018 – Dyls, Skosh, York We started the evening by stopping off at Dyls to test their cocktail list. I think it’s fair to say that service is not the fastest, but what you do get for your patience are some excellent concoctions. I went for the ‘Black Bottle’ Berry Lemonade, made…
