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…

Food 2016 – Le Gavroche, London
Monday, May 9th 2016 – Le Gavroche, London So after what feels like years of completely failing to get a table at Le Gavroche an invitation came through to attend a celebratory event there. I just needed to reply quickly to the email and hope I was faster than anyone else. I was! I paid…
Travel 2016 – S’Hertogenbosch, Vught, Day 2
Friday, March 4th 2016 – Day 2Â (S’Hertogenbosch, Vught) A good night’s sleep and we woke to decidedly inclement weather, unfortunately. However, breakfast was in the dry of the hotel undercroft. It was a fairly impressive buffet, though it did come with the semi-compulsory egg that is a feature of everywhere I’ve ever stayed in…
Food 2015 РRobuchon au D̫me, Macau
During our trip to Macau last year we found ourselves dining in the first three-Michelin-starred restaurant we’ve ever managed to get a table at, it being close to impossible to do such things in the UK without a) booking three years’ in advance and b) committing bank robbery on a grand scale to pay for…
Food 2009 – Cookery School, Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton
Saturday, 11th July 2009 – Cookery School, le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Great Milton Saturday morning, despite having been out pretty late the night before, I was awake bright and early and in a fever of excitement. After all, I’d been waiting for this day since January when I’d been presented with a bright, shiny certificate…
Food 2009 – Locanda Locatelli, London
Saturday, 18th April 2009 – Locanda Locatelli, London We’re not eating out much this year but yesterday was a special event (A’s Birthday celebrations) and she’s been hankering after eating at Locanda Locatelli almost as long as it’s been in existence. So, a table was duly booked for lunch yesterday and ten of us assembled…
Travel 2008 – Dresden, Day 3
Sunday, 7th December 2008 – Dresden, Day 3 Sunday dawned reasonably bright and sunny while we ate breakfast: It was just as impressive as the day before: By the time we’d worked our way through that lot, the weather had turned and it was hideously soggy, with the rain coming down almost horizontally. It also didn’t…
Travel 2008 – Dresden, Day 2
Saturday, 6th December 2008 – Dresden, Day 2 After a good night’s sleep under a wonderfully soft goosedown duvet, we met for breakfast in the restaurant Maurice (now the Moritz). Breakfast just served to reinforce the point that this was a wonderful hotel, with all sorts of extras from Nurnberger Rostbratwurstchen with mustard to a…
Food 2008 – Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons
Wednesday, 13th February 2008 – Le Manoir Aux Quat’ Saisons, Great Milton So, it was both my Mum and Lynne’s birthdays, and to celebrate, what with it being Lynne’s 50th and Mum’s 81st, we were booked in at the splendid – nay utterly wonderful – le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons. We got up slowly, the…
Travel 2005 – Combloux, Megeve, Bettex, Rochebrune, France
Friday, 26th February – Sunday, 6th March 2005 – Combloux and Megeve We were catching a ridiculously early ferry from Dover – 5.00 or something ghastly – which meant we should be in Combloux by mid-afternoon all being well. It also meant we were staying in a hotel near Dover overnight on Friday, because I…
