Celebrate Woman’s Day in Style at Cantina del Ponte Last week I went to a preview of a great event which will be happening for Woman’s Day in London. March 8th is known worldwide as International Women’s Day, but in Italy it is also as an annual excuse for a girls’ night out on...
Bar Boulud – Escape from Harvey Nichols We were booked to dine at Bar Boulud in the Manderin Oriental, Knightsbridge as guests of the Hotel, but arrived just a little early. I have to say, while I generally like hotel bars, on a whim I suggested we went to the 5th Floor bar at...
OK, so it’s one of the most hyped exhibitions in London right now. And, one of the most hyped restaurants…for somewhere that only has three main dishes on the menu! So, as a cynical hater of hype, what on earth possessed me to do both in one day? Well, partly that in common with...
Aspleys at the Lanesborough, A Heinz Beck Restaurant…and some thoughts on Restaurant Reviews I was invited to dine at Aspleys recently. It’s a fabulous restaurant in the Lanesborough Hotel that boasts Heinz Beck as executive chef – a quietly spoken German man who just happens to run Rome’s only three star Michelin restaurant...

Fresh Pan Asian Cooking at East Street, London Just off the Tottenham Court end of Oxford Street is a new restaurant called East Street. Aiming to offer a range of pan Asian street foods to London, the menu includes Malaysian, Indonesian, Japanese and Korean dishes all at a reasonable price with a starter sharing...
Just how Radical is the Radical Dining Society? A couple of months ago my friend Alexa and I were chatting. ‘Oh, you might be interested in this new group - The Radical Dining Society – it sounds like some kind of posh dining club’ she said… So, ever curious I signed up to see...
What’s in a Blogging Event then? For me, finding that there were real people behind the blogs I’d been following for a while before I started my own was an unexpected bonus. I was very lucky last year, about a month into starting my own blog, to win a place at Food Blogger Connect. ...
I moved into a tiny flat round the corner from the Havelock some 15 years ago. On the top floor of a tall Victorian terrace, I had great views over West London. And, an added bonus, a great new London gastropub on my doorstep. The Havelock was very newly opened and the whole concept...
