A birthday meal has to be chosen wisely. I didn’t choose mine, well, not directly. Instead I hinted on my ‘day job’ blog. Luckily Ade took the hint and got straight on the… Continue reading
The Diner has headed West and come over all Southern. The cosy new branch at Gloucester Road (conveniently just across the road from the tube) has the same favourites as the other branches, but… Continue reading
It has been approximately five years that I have been waiting to have brunch at The Table Cafe. Really. This inconspicuous restaurant across the road from work has become special to me. Lunch… Continue reading
Tucked away behind the hustle of Tottenham Court Road lies not one, not two, but three gems. Gail’s Bakery and Gail’s Kitchen with Myhotel Bloomsbury appropriately sandwiched between the two. Gail’s Kitchen – a recent… Continue reading
We have been working above The Refinery for years in the iconic Blue Fin Building, just behind the Tate Modern in the heart of london’s Bankside. Finally we’ve got round to getting down there… Continue reading

A rare outing to a region of London that doesn’t begin with ‘S’ bought us to Rita’s Bar & Dining in Dalston. Described on their site as a ‘travelling food and drink collaboration between… Continue reading

You’ve heard the phase ‘Christmas has come early’. For us it was Easter that came early… We were invited back to Cinnamon Soho to sample Vivek Singh’s Easter egg-inspired menu and inspired it was too. (Read… Continue reading
There are a couple of buzz words that have resurfaced of late – cheap eats! Time out had their cover story dedicated to the subject a while back. We even went to Zédel off… Continue reading
When it came to celebrating my little sister’s engagement recently, I knew Cucina Asellina at the ME London hotel would be right up her street. The latest in restaurant launches from the One Group,… Continue reading

January has come to an end, the ‘pay back’ month is over. New year resolutions of healthy living/eating have been washed away by torrential rain. So we thought we’d cheer ourselves up with… Continue reading
On paper STK was everything we dislike in a restaurant. Starting with the name. There must be a few dodgy keyboards out there in the restaurant world at the moment that are missing their… Continue reading
Firstly I’d like to apologise to all concerned for my tardiness in writing this post. Christmas, illness and a very busy January has kept me away from my keyboard! The reason I’ve mentioned this… Continue reading
