The Malt House, Fulham – More Gastro on my Doorstep: Fulham is an area of London in transition. With the Earls Court Redevelopment about to start, residents are facing five years or so of major redevelopment. And, many of the pubs and restaurants in the area seem to be reinventing themselves every few months in […]
The Art of Bread – Maroush Bakehouse
Maroush Bakehouse Earls Court During that quiet period between Christmas and New Year (well quiet for those of us without children on holiday!), I took the opportunity to check out a new Bakehouse that has opened just a few minutes walk from where I live. Now, the name did sound familiar and I realised later […]
Champagne Afternoon Tea at Ampersand
Bubbles and Cream in South Kensington at Ampersand: I’ve been out and about checking out some of London’s offers. Lime and Tonic are an exclusive member’s club that finds you things you might not find for yourself and gets you great deals. So, when they suggested that I went along and trialled one of their […]
Bombay Brasserie Kensington – Revisited
Classic Indian Food at Bombay Brasserie, Kensington: When I first started work in London, I didn’t have a great deal of money. And, I seem to remember spending a disproportionate amount on eating out. I did work for a restaurant group so I could indulge myself at restaurant launches and staff training sessions. And, some […]
Evans and Peel Earls Court
Special Investigation at Evans & Peel: Somewhere just off Earls Court Road, you’ll find this ordinary enough black door marked Evans and Peel Dectective Agency. Yeah, you might think you don’t need a detective agency, but you’ve got the wrong idea. Let me tell you my friend, if you need to quench your thirst with […]
Brompton Cemetery
Almost on my doorstep, a walk through Brompton Cemetery is one of the fastest ways to reach Chelsea for me. And, it’s a fascinating and hauntingly beautiful place. So, in an effort to improve my photography I spent an hour or so there on Sunday wandering round and taking pictures of whatever I spotted. The […]
My Dining Room, Fulham, London
About time I revisited another local Fulham restaurant and went to My Dining Room! My Dining Room is just round the corner from ‘Fulham Beach’ tucked away from the main shopping area. A few years ago the rather rough pub on the site was reborn as a Gastro-pub/Restaurant called ‘The Farm’ and when it first […]
Goblins, Giants and Banquets
I’ve just managed to write up my review of Ferdie’s Foodlab, a fantastic banquet style supper club I went to on Saturday. Apart from eating and drinking far too much, I had a wonderful time. My sometime singing teacher Zoe invited me along to see a production of Das Rheingold in Fulham. Now, I’ve been […]
La Brasserie, South Kensington, London
La Brasserie In one of the chichi areas of South Kensington, next to Chanel and directly opposite Bibendum, this is a traditional style French brasserie. South Kensington is a popular area with French ex-pats. L’Institut Francais is just up the road as is the Lycee and this brasserie, the ‘first all day brasserie in London’ […]
Union Market, Fulham Broadway
The Union Market Bar I suspect the Union Market, set in what was Fulham Broadway station, wants to be Fulham’s answer to Borough Market. It’s a small collection of specialist food shops with a couple of food bars. Pristine and brightly lit, it brings to mind Delia meets River Cottage and I am guessing is […]
