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 […]

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 […]
The Harwood Arms
The Harwood Arms – a bit of local history Since I moved to Fulham about 6 years ago this place has gone through several different iterations, with varying degrees of success. The Harwood Arms, when I first visited in 2006, was a better than average local serving decent and very reasonably priced English pub-grub that […]
The Atlas Pub, Seagrave Road, SW6
The Atlas is my local Pub and a favourite haunt of mine. It has somehow managed to retain that traditional Pub feel while serving what is a lot better than the average pub menu and having a pretty extensive Wine list. I’m told the beer is good too – and they make excellent Pimms and […]
