Wednesday 17th May, 2017 – Riesling Wine Dinner, Roux at Parliament Square It’s marginally easier to get a table at Roux at Parliament Square than it is at parent-restaurant Le Gavroche (which is to say we’ve been to Parliament Square twice now and I’ve only ever managed to get a table at Le Gavroche once,…

Travel 2017 – A Suggested London Itinerary
Three Days in London Let’s assume you have three days to spare in London. Here’s what I’d suggest: Day 1 You could start at Borough Market and maybe have a late breakfast/early lunch there instead of at your hotel. In fact if you set your mind to it you can eat your way into a…
Food 2017 – La Strada Nuovo, Towcester
Saturday 8th April, 2017 – La Strada Nuovo, Towcester There seem to be ever more eating options around our home town that fit in the “Saturday night dinner out without booking three years in advance and taking out a mortgage” bracket, and La Strada Nuovo now squarely fits that bill, after a rocky handful of…
Food 2017 – Eneko, One Aldwych, London
Saturday 26th March, 2017 – The Lobby Bar and Eneko, One Aldwych, London A post-theatre dinner here was on the cards after much enthusiasm in certain press quarters about the food at Eneko, somewhere on the premises of One Aldwych. It helped that the cuisine in question is meant to be Basque and as a…
Travel/Food 2017 – Copenhagen
Monday 20th March – Friday 24th March, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark After a week in January and three in February it was a pleasure to be back in Copenhagen in what theoretically should have been better weather and more daylight. You would not have thought it on my arrival. It was absolutely throwing it down…
Food 2017 – Alberto K, Copenhagen
Friday February 12th, 2017 – Alberto K, Radisson Blu Royal, Copenhagen Although not normally a big fan of hotel restaurants (they can swing wildly in my experience between averagely bland to downright horrible, and are usually overpriced, the Radisson Blu Royal’s sister-hotel in Copenhagen, the Scandinavia, being a case in point) this didn’t stop me…
Food/Travel 2017 – Copenhagen (Week 1)
Sunday 5th February to Thursday 9th February, 2017 – Copenhagen February may not be the best time to visit Copenhagen, especially in a snowstorm, but I didn’t have much choice as my new employers sent me out here for three weeks to complete a gruelling, brain-frying training course. I opted not to fly home each…
Food 2017 – The Crazy Bear, Stadhampton
Saturday January 21st, 2017 – The Crazy Bear Thai Restaurant, Stadhampton, Oxfordshire Back when I was a student (sometime in the Jurassic period I think) we used occasionally, provided someone had transport available, to head out of Oxford in search of pubs, and would often end up at Stadhampton, in a fine if somewhat eccentric…
Food 2017 – Galvin at the Athenaeum, London
Saturday, 14th January 2017 – Galvin at the Athenaeum, London Partly to celebrate my birthday a couple of days previous t0 the event, partly because we had a Groupon to use, Lynne and I spent the afternoon at the theatre (at the Royal Court Theatre, seeing “The Children”) and then headed off down towards Picadilly…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 4
Thursday 12th January, 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 4 British Airways while I was away introduced their new “improved” cabin service. Now while I will grant that the ham and cheese croissant I was offered on the way out was a long way from gourmet food, it was at least included in the price of my…
