Monday, 16th September 2019 – Umami, Strasbourg I’d mis-recorded the booking for Tuesday not Monday and didn’t realise until quite late on Monday, so it was all a bit of a panic to get out of the door and back into town on the efficient and prompt tram system. We then managed to get off…

Food 2018 – Game Dinner, Le Gavroche, London
Monday, 8th October 2018 – Game Dinner, Le Gavroche, London I’m a massive fan of Michel Roux Jr and his cooking style, which is basically proper French cooking taken to the extremes of refinement, nothing flash, nothing “molecular”, nothing outré or extreme, just the best possible ingredients, cooked to perfection. However, as a consequence, it’s…
Food 2018 – The Harrow at Little Bedwyn, Little Bedwyn
Saturday, August 4th 2018 – The Harrow at Little Bedwyn, Wiltshire Little Bedwyn is a very tiny village (also spelled Little Bedwin, and also known as Bedwyn Parva), with a population of 250 at the last count. It also has an Iron Age hill fort (Chisbury Camp), a decorated Gothic former chapel (St Martin’s) and…
Food 2018 – Locanda Locatelli, London
Monday, February 26th 2018 – Locanda Locatelli, London February got slightly out of control when the lovely people at the Harden’s Guide announced their latest dinner. This would be at Locanda Locatelli, a restaurant we last visited in 2009 for a friend’s 40th birthday. It was lovely then, and given that Giorgio Locatelli is one…
Food 2018 – Le Mirazur, Menton
Sunday, February 18th 2018 – Le Mirazur, Menton Back before Christmas we were sitting at home watching the latest series of Masterchef: The Professionals, and it was the penultimate programme. The remaining three competitors were shipped off to the south of France to cook at Le Mirazur. It looked amazing, and given that we knew…
Food 2018 – Blue Bay Restaurant, Monaco
Saturday, February 17th, 2018 – The Blue Bay Restaurant, Monaco We’d been looking for somewhere good to eat that wasn’t going to be stupidly expensive (which ruled out almost everywhere up by Casino Square) and I’d settled instead on the Blue Bay, just along the coast road towards Menton, at the point almost of the…
Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 3
Saturday December 2nd – Day 3, Krakow I started the day with a 5k run as Krakow has a parkrun of its own. Leaving Lynne in the lovely, warm apartment I headed out into the cold, layered up with every piece of running gear I had with me (vest, sweater, jacket, two head-protectors, gloves, the…
Food 2017 – Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton
Friday 13th October, 2017 – Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton If there’s one restaurant in the UK that I would sell my grandmother to eat at, it’s probably le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. I make no secret of my admiration for Raymond Blanc, and having met him a couple of times now, I’m even more…
Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 10
Monday October 2nd – Day 10, Burg Arras, Manderscheid, Traben-Trarbach We woke up to a very foggy morning, with the other side of the valley shrouded in mists. The castle/hotel didn’t get any less odd in the morning, though they provided a perfectly good breakfast. Our bill was handwritten on a sheet of mathematics exercise…
Food/Travel 2017 – Moselle Road Trip, Day 2
Sunday September 24th – Day 2 Â – Nennig, Konz, Trier After a truly awful run through what seemed to be very steep vineyards (not helped by the fog that had dropped down overnight or the amount of food eaten the night before) we got our act together, had a lovely breakfast, and checked out of…
