Much to my surprise, an invite came my way to taste test Fry’s Family Meat Free Curry Pies, along with a vegan beer. Now I am a fully fledged carnivore as any reader here will know, but always willing to try new things I grabbed a suitable on-hand vegan and headed off to the tasting in […]
Geeta’s Premium Mango Chutney
To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Geeta’s Premium Mango Chutney, I was invited to join the Chutney Challenge. The idea was to create a chutney inspired recipe; in order to attempt this I had to go into the kitchen myself! Now I know mango chutney as something you always get in Indian Restaurants, but I […]
The Almeida Restaurant and Bar – Islington
The The Almeida Restaurant and Bar – Islington, is opposite its namesake theatre, and that could help to explain why this is such a hidden gem – maybe you only think of it when you think of the theatre. But that would be a great loss, as the Almeida is a place you could dine at […]
Palm Restaurant – Unlimited Wine Tasting Dinners
I attend many wine tastings, but the Palm Restaurant – Unlimited Wine Tasting Dinners sounded different. Many tastings give you a sip of a wine, or maybe a small glass alongside a meal. Technically that is a tasting, but it is not an enjoyment, and maybe that is why many are turned off at the thought […]
Mews of Mayfair – the Best of British Food
British food is so often undervalued, and so rarely looked for by British people, that it took a request to find a good British Food restaurant in London for me to visit Mews of Mayfair. Mews of Mayfair is located just off Regent Street, 2 minutes from Oxford Circus, in converted Mews houses dating from […]
The Factory House Supper Club
The Factory House, which sits underground on Lime Street at the base of the Lloyds building has now launched The Factory House Supper Club. Already well known for its great atmosphere of cocktails and food, when I was invited to the inaugural Supper Club meal, I was rather excited. The idea of a Supper Club […]
Bone Daddies Soho London
Bone Daddies Soho London is a newly opened Ramen and Noodle restaurant in the centre of Soho. Ramen is a Japanese dish with Chinese origins, and has a meat or bone stock base, usually chicken or pork, so it’s not the best place to go to if you are vegan, but for me it sounded […]
Suze In Mayfair
Past Selfridges and just enough off Oxford Street to avoid the tourist traps, sits Suze In Mayfair, a lovely little Bohemian looking restaurant and wine bar, which I have never noticed before. I noticed it the other night as I wanted a quick bit and glass of wine, but I was in a hurry. Rushing […]
Two to Four in Dorking and a Great Evening Meal Out
Often when you think about fine dining you think first of London restaurants, and then about the one or two places that really excite you that you know outside of London. Well, Two to Four, in Dorking, is a restaurant that many have said excites them and is worth checking out, so when an invite […]
Maroush Bakehouse – the Best Lebanese Lunch in London
Maroush have recently opened a new concept restaurant in Earls Court – the Maroush Bakehouse. As if plucked straight out of the centre of a Lebanese town, here is a place that is a mix of coffee bar front with working bread ovens at the back. You can enjoy traditional Lebonese Khobez bread, savoury and […]
