Food 2016 – Galvin la Chapelle, London

Saturday, 8th October 2016 – Galvin la Chapelle, Spitalfields, London Another Saturday, another restaurant, another Groupon deal. Post-theatre (No Man’s Land, Wyndhams Theatre) we made our somewhat convoluted way to Spitalfields, an area of London that has changed beyond all recognition in the years since I used to cut along Commerical Road to get to…

Food 2016 – Crabbieshack and House of Dodo, London

October 2016 – Crabbieshack, House of Dodo, West India Quay, London With winter coming on fast the wonderful Kerb on the Quay people are winding down with the last outing of 2016 taking place last week. Meanwhile I managed to revisit two of the food truck I’ve already reviewed, and have some further thoughts on…

Food 2016 – Vibin’s, Buckingham

Thursday, 20th October 2016 – Vibin’s, Buckingham Vibin’s, nee Halibut once upon a time, was a restaurant on our radar ever since the late and much-lamented Roade House went the way of all flesh and robbed us of a regular, not too expensive but very good indeed, eating haunt. And so, on a cold, damp…

Food 2016 – The Vine House, Paulerspury

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…

Food 2016 – Crabbieshack, London

Thursday 29th September 2016 – Crabbieshack, Kerb @ Quay, Canary Wharf, London Another day, another trip to Kerb on the Quay over on West India Quay! This is getting to be a slightly dangerous habit – just as well they’re only there Wednesday to Friday (and I’m not always)… As far as I know the…

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”…

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 – House of Dodo, London

Wednesday 28th September 2016 – House of Dodo, Kerb @ Quay, Canary Wharf, London Continuing on from last week’s trip to eat at the street food extravaganza (well, 8 stalls anyway) that is Kerb on the Quay over on West India Quay, and faced with a sunny lunchtime when I didn’t fancy soup at my…

Food 2016 – Allihopa, London

Friday 23rd September 2016 – Allihopa, Kerb @ Quay, Canary Wharf, London Last week, bored with eating lunch at my desk,  and keen to see whether the concrete and glass monstrosity that is Canary Wharf has any redeeming features, I decided to go out to Kerb on the Quay over on West India Quay to…

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…
