The Sportsman, Seasalter
We took the day off work on Friday and went down to Whitstable for the last day of the oyster festival. Since we were so close, it seemed silly not to go back to The Sportsman in Seasalter for lunch as we had enjoyed it so much last year.
The menu seemed shorter than I [...]
Read More..>>Pelikan Restaurant – Stockholm, Sweden
While we were staying with friends in Stockholm, we asked then to recommend a typically Swedish restaurant for dinner and they chose Pelikan. After a short ride on the Tunnelbana, we arrived outside an old builidng (one of the oldest in this part of town).
The dining room seemed rather dark inside, and it has [...]
World Cup Cuisine – Spanish Tapas at Tendido Cuatro
A bit of a break with tradition here; we decided to go out and eat something Spanish instead of cooking. We decided tapas was a good idea, and immediately thought to visit our local branch of Lola Rojo, which we have been to before and really enjoyed. However, it was closed due to [...]
Read More..>>East Quay – Whitstable
A bit of a backlog of posts, since I’ve been staying in Kent with my mum. Stephen came down for the weekend and, since it wasn’t raining, we drove down to Whitstable for the day.
We decided to have lunch at a place Stephen and I first ate at years, ago: East Quay, which is [...]
Christopher’s – The Burger
We’ve long suspected this is the best burger in London but the last time we visited we were without a camera, knowing how infuriating a post without pictures is we decided to delay the write-up until we could capture the burger in all it’s glory. It took a while but a Friday night shopping [...]
Read More..>>Byron
There isn’t much I can say about Blogger’s favourite Byron that hasn’t already been said but I’m adding this as much for the record as anything else. I don’t much like writing about food I’ve not cooked myself and I’ve never eaten a proper American hamburger so am certainly no expert on the subject [...]
Read More..>>Prince of Wales, Putney
One of our friends had the giant puffballs on toast. We were all intrigued as to just how giant the mushrooms would be and, having asked the waitress, she brought it out to show us. The picture is rather fuzzy but it does at least give an idea of the size, enormous! Although [...]
Read More..>>Cheese Masterclass at Le Bouchon Breton
It’s taken me a while to get round to making this post as I suffered from quite a severe cheese hangover the day after attending the class at Le Bouchon Breton. I should point out that this had absolutely nothing to do with the fabulous cheese I ate during the class but everything to [...]
Read More..>>Oyster Masterclass
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the PR company behind Le Bouchon Breton is Spitalfields and asked if I wanted to attend their latest oyster masterclass; we would be tasting a selection of 10 oysters from France, England, Scotland and the Channel Islands, all paired with a selection of Champagne and fine wine.
I [...]
Gallipoli
We were over in North London yesterday and, having not done very much research on places to go for lunch, we ended up at Gallipoli on Upper Street. There are two branches not very far apart but the cafe is less formal and has a menu that reflects that, lots of little dishes and [...]
