Food 2019 – Parsons, London

Saturday, 2nd March 2019 – Parsons, London In London for a theatre trip, it’s always a bit of a challenge deciding where to eat and when. This time, post seeing Gillian Anderson in the rather splendid “All About Eve” at the Noel Coward Theatre in the afternoon, and having fortified ourselves with cocktails at Seven…

Food 2019 – Gorilla, Copenhagen

Wednesday, 25th February 2019 – Gorilla, Copenhagen There are undoubtedly worse things that being stuck in a foreign city when you’re not well. However, on the day in question I couldn’t imagine what those things might be. Feeling completely rotten, and having coughed, sneezed and snuffled my way through a full day of meetings, I…

Food 2019 – Sanchez, Copenhagen

Monday, February 24th 2019 – Sanchez, Copenhagen Sanchez has been open since the end of 2017 and there’s been so much buzz around the place that I realised I needed to get there. Arriving in Copenhagen on my own with no colleagues in tow, I had the choice of going wherever I chose for dinner…

Food 2019 – French Affaire, Stony Stratford

Friday, 8th February 2019 – French Affaire, Stony Stratford I’d got wind of a new place opening up in Stony Stratford, in the space that used to be Cameron’s Kitchen. With Dan and Ailie having moved on, it stood empty for a while but is now a currently predominantly lunchtime place called French Affaire. However,…

Food 2018/2019 – Boisdale at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston

Friday, 23rd November 2018/Friday, 25th January 2019 – Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston Weston Hall is a somewhat crumbling small stately “pile” in the wilds of Northamptonshire (it’s a bugger to find, let me tell you, as it doesn’t seem to show up on any SatNav in any meaningful way – putting the postcode in…

Food 2019 – Anarki, Copenhagen

Thursday, January 25th 2019 – Anarki, Copenhagen January was mostly quiet, if you ignore the massive birthday party I threw in the second week, and meant that there wasn’t a great deal to write about. However, I did have another business trip to Copenhagen, and having stayed one night longer than my fellow non-Danish colleagues…

Food 2018/2019 – Kodbyens Fiskebar, Copenhagen

Monday, 29th October 2018/Tuesday, 22nd January 2019 – Kodbyens Fiskebar, Copenhagen If you ask me to pick a favourite restaurant in Copenhagen I’d be hard pressed to give you any answer that wasn’t Kødbyens Fiskebar. I have been several times, and I just keep on returning for a variety of reasons. One of the main…

Food 2018 – The White Horse, Kings Sutton

Monday, 24th December 2018 – The White Horse, Kings Sutton We stumbled upon the White Horse purely by chance when visiting a bunch of places that were shortlisted for the local food and drink awards, but didn’t visit it because it wasn’t among the places we’d been asked to review. It did sound interesting though,…

Travel/Food 2018 – La Nonna and Bar Douro, London

Thursday, 20th December 2018 – La Nonna, Bar Douro, London Having taken an afternoon off in order to use up the last of my holiday for 2018, and to make it easier to do some serious food shopping, I  decided I would walk to Borough Market from the office. It takes a good 20 minutes…

Food 2018 – Bar Encore, Towcester

Saturday, 17th November/11th December 2018 – Bar Encore, Towcester After a couple of slightly rocky visits to Bar Encore when I’d repeatedly had to teach the cocktail barman how to make a caipirinha (and the answer is not the way he was making it with syrup and lime juice – but I digress and to…
