Tuesday, 11th June 2019 – Los Caracoles, Barcelona Tasked with finding restaurants to suit the colleagues with whom I was in Barcelona, I consulted the hive mind known as my Facebook friends and of the seven responses I got, all bar one of them suggested the historic hostelry known as Los Caracoles (or The Snails),…

Food 2019 – The Chinese Cricket Club, London
Wednesday, 22nd May 2019 – The Chinese Cricket Club, London This one was not of my choosing – it was a work-related dinner – but turned out to be much better than you might expect of a restaurant in an hotel (the Crowne Plaza Blackfriars). With a group of 13 of us booked to dine…
Food 2019 – Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston
Friday, 17th May 2019 – Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants A couple more Weston Supper Club events came and went in May and July, with mixed results, the July event being far more successful than this one, which was disappointing in a number of ways. The Aldo Zilli and San Carlo Restaurants event was…
Food 2019 – Sunday Lunch at the Muddy Duck, Hethe
Sunday, 5th May 2019 – The Muddy Duck, Hethe Having tested the “normal” small plates menu at the Muddy Duck a couple of weekends back, we headed that way again over the recent bank holiday weekend to try out Sunday lunch as a birthday celebration for one of our closest friends. Would they measure up?…
Food 2019 – Pied à Terre at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston
Friday, 26th April 2019 – Pied à Terre, Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston Friday night was another of the Weston Hall supper club events, this time with the cooking provided by Pied à Terre, a London restaurant I still haven’t got to (though I did eat at its now-departed sister restaurant, the rather brilliant L’Autre…
Food 2019 – The Muddy Duck, Hethe
Saturday, 20th April 2019 – The Muddy Duck, Hethe Following on from a theatre trip to Stratford-upon-Avon to see the sublime Kunene and the King at the Swan Theatre, and unhappy to remain in the town on a sunny holiday weekend when you could barely move for the crowds everywhere, we headed cross country towards…
Food 2019 – Wine Dinner, Cigalon, London
Tuesday, 26th March 2019 – German Wine Dinner, Cigalon, London I’m rather fond of Cigalon, on London’s Chancery Lane, and in particular I’m partial to both its monthly menu “test sessions”, which are usually on a Monday, and now of their wine dinners having attended a recent one. A reasonable (for London anyway) £50 per…
Food 2019 – The White Hart, Preston Bissett
Saturday, 23rd March 2019 – The White Hart, Preston Bissett This was a bit of an unexpected one. The White Hart had popped up on my social media radar with a friend request, and while I didn’t know exactly who they were (or for that matter precisely where Preston Bissett was, though the postcode suggested…
Food 2019 – Frog by Adam Handling, London
Thursday, 7th March 2019 – Frog by Adam Handling, London Back in London again for another theatrical event, and having kept costs down on our previous visit, post seeing Sir Ian McKellen, talking entertainingly and at surprising length about his career now he’s turned 80, at the Duke of York’s Theatre, we opted to go…
