The Waterside Inn, Bray: Timeless perfection
3 Michelin Stars. 27 years consecutively and counting. If there was a Big Daddy of Michelin star restaurants in the UK, this would be the greatest grandfather of them all. Founded by Michel and Albert Roux in 1972, The Waterside Inn has taken French haute cuisine in Britain to heights never seen outside of the […]
Koffmann’s: Exquisite yet comforting Gascon style food by the old master
August 7, 2012
As far as living legends in the culinary world go, Pierre Koffmann is one of those iconic chefs who has certainly left his mark in Britain. The man already had 3 Michelin-stars under his belt at the legendary La Tante Claire before I was even born. From there, he’s gone on from strength to strength, […]
Medlar: King’s Road now has a neighbourhood gem befitting its name
February 4, 2012
With the recent small-plates / no-bookings fad that’s taken over London’s restaurant scene, the humble neighbourhood restaurant that serves up reliable, good value food has become increasingly few and far between.

Chez Bruce
December 19, 2010
I get the feeling that Londoners are divided into those who have been to Chez Bruce (and absolutely love it), and those who haven’t been to Chez Bruce. Of all the people I know who have been to this Wandsworth institution before, not a single person has had a bad thing to say about it. And […]
Manchester Christmas Markets.
December 5, 2010
With X’mas only a few weeks away, it’s that time of the year again where I need my annual fix of Gluhwein, Bratwurst and all things Christmas Market-y. And if there is one city in the UK that knows how to put on a proper Christmas Market, it’s Manchester. The prop-up stalls here span entire […]
