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.

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.

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…

Food 2016 – Moro, London

Saturday, 17th December 2016 – Moro, Exmouth Market, London After a visit to Sadler’s Wells, which is not exactly the most central of London’s theatres, it’s become almost a tradition for us to go to the splendid Moro for an early dinner.

Food 2016 – Galvin la Chapelle, London

Saturday, 8th October 2016 – Galvin la Chapelle, Spitalfields, London Another Saturday, another restaurant, another Groupon deal.

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 – 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…
