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.

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 [...]
Read More..>>The Harwood Arms
We had planned to have lunch at our local fish and chip shop but when we arrived, it was closed. We did what any reasonable people would do in such an instance and headed to the Harwood Arms instead. We’ve actually been meaning to come back for a while, especially since they currently [...]
Read More..>>The Bull and Last
After a week of intensive meat-eating in the Lake District, the very last thing we should have been doing was eating another big, meat-heavy meal. We had already booked this some time ago, as part of Dine with Dos Hermanos so, we made our way to Highgate feeling slightly apprehensive and very guilty about [...]
Read More..>>The Harwood Arms
There have been many good reviews of the Harwood Arms in the last few months and, given that we live within walking distance and haven’t visited, last night’s dinner was long overdue.
The room itself is lovely, open and bright with high ceilings and big windows; a combination of new and old decor lends a comfortable [...]
The Phoenix
I had lunch at the Phoenix today, the training restaurant in Lewisham attached to the local college. The food is cooked by third year students and served to paying customers by their classmates. For four days a week, during term-time (plus some evenings) you can enjoy three courses of ‘exciting modern’ food, for less than [...]
Read More..>>Alsace Tasting – Green and Blue
Last night, Kerri and I went to to an Alsace wine tasting at Green and Blue in East Dulwich. We have been there before for a rather intruiging wine and chocolate tasting and were excited about going back, so much so that on the evening of an impending Tube strike, we ventured out there without [...]
