Friday, 29th November 2019 – Wolfs Junge, Hamburg Friday night’s restaurant booking saw us again getting on the number 6 bus (I’m beginning to think there’s no other bus route worth bothering with in Hamburg – though I suspect I’m wrong) and this time getting off just three stops from the hotel as we headed…

Food 2019 – Hamburg, Day 1, Tyo Tyo
Thursday, 28th November 2019 – Tyo Tyo, Hamburg And so to our first dinner in Hamburg. We stopped off in the Crowne Plaza bar first, because they had given us a pair of welcome drink vouchers and it seemed churlish not to use them. The staff were friendly and fun, and we enjoyed a couple…
Food 2019 – Leicestershire Weekend, Day 1, Case, The White Peacock, Leicester
Saturday, 12th October 2019 – Case, The White Peacock, Leicester Trying to find somewhere for dinner in Leicester proved less challenging that I might have expected given that most food guides display a massive empty space in the midlands, with just the odd oasis of hospitality, though if I’d stuck to Michelin we’d have had…
Food 2019 – Lorne, London
Saturday, 5th October 2019 – Lorne, London In between two exhibitions we really needed to make sure we found some food. A quick online search in the vicinity of Buckingham Palace threw up Lorne Restaurant, which was well located and well reviewed by a critic I respect, the splendid Marina O’Loughlin, back when she was…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Days 16 and 17, Vaals, Aachen, Ghent, Rotterdam, Home
Saturday, 28th/Sunday, 29th September 2019 – Vaals, Aachen, Ghent, Rotterdam, Home I started Saturday with a run that took in two countries, literally exercising my right to freedom of movement while I still had it. I ran the half mile to the Dutch/German border and then went about a mile into Germany before turning round…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 15, Restaurant Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal, Vaals
Friday, 27th September 2019 – Restaurant Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal, Vaals We had another deal where our dinner was included in our room rate, and so we didn’t need to worry too much about where we should go that evening. All we needed to do was get our act together and wander down to the ground…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 14, Gasthaus zum Raben, Horben
Thursday, 26th September 2019 – Raben, Horben On Thursday evening we set off on a white-knuckled drive from Glottertal, through Freiburg and up to the village of Horben, which seemed to involve rather more hairpin bends than I cared for, as well as fairly dramatic stretch when we first had to run on the tram…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 13, Schwarzenberg’s Traube, Glottertal
Wednesday, 25th September 2019 – Schwarzenberg’s Traube, Glottertal So it’s Wednesday and we discover that we can’t eat at the hotel because Wednesday is the day the kitchen is closed – I know, an odd concept in many countries where hotel kitchens never close, but many of these places are family run businesses and everyone…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 13, Sankt Peter, Breisach, Ihringen
Wednesday, 25th September 2019 – Sankt Peter, Breisach, Ihringen A late breakfast in the Hotel Schlossmühle was very good, though they did try to insist we should have an egg each, and then I had a suggestion or two that met with Lynne’s approval for what we should do with the day. First I wanted…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 12, Hotel Schlossmühle, Glottertal
Tuesday, 24th September 2019 – Hotel Schlossmühle, Glottertal Arriving somewhat later than planned at the Hotel Schlossmühle, we decided our best bet would be to eat in the hotel once we had unpacked and got cleaned up. The hotel dates from the 12th century and has been a mill, a bakery and a variety of…
