Etxebarri, Spain.
Posted on October 4, 2013September 16, 2015

Etxebarri, Spain.

When you arrive in Axpo – its the silence that strikes you. Everything here is still.  There’s the distant clang of a cowbell and someone is giving the fronton a workout, with a slow rhythmic crack of that pelota ball.  Other than that there is nothing but still silence. Perhaps unsurprisingly there’s a whiff of … Continue reading Etxebarri, Spain.

The burger wars rumble on unabated. In London currently not a moment goes by when another Pop-up pops, a Real burger joint keeps it real or a chef declares a residency. A residency? What? Isn’t that another word for giving a chef a temporary job? Those who crave meat unground and unbovine may have felt short changed till now. The … Continue reading Chicken Shop, Kentish Town, London.

Posted on September 11, 2013September 16, 2015

Flesh & Buns, Covent Garden, London.

Flesh & Buns – no, not a new clip joint in Soho as a colleague recently remarked, but the latest offering from the successful Bone daddies team – First a fiercely successful ramen joint, now a meat and buns sharing concept – sounding familiar? (Ssäm Bar for those not in the know) Let’s not be … Continue reading Flesh & Buns, Covent Garden, London.

Newman St Tavern, Goodge St, London.
Posted on June 7, 2013September 16, 2015

Newman St Tavern, Goodge St, London.

The food is British and modern and the sort of place you should bring your overseas friends to show them what British food is all about these days. It’s also ultra seasonal, with a strong, though not exclusive, emphasis on fish and seafood. On that sea theme,  the top of  menu offered  –  a gulls … Continue reading Newman St Tavern, Goodge St, London.

Restaurant Story, London.
Posted on May 29, 2013September 16, 2015

Restaurant Story, London.

I started off thinking this would be less of a story more of a mini opus condensing such a meal is not an easy task I’ve been thinking about this one for 2 weeks. Truth be told I’d been putting it off not knowing quite where to begin. Black and green those colours run through … Continue reading Restaurant Story, London.

Kaspars, The Savoy, London,
Posted on May 25, 2013September 16, 2015

Kaspars, The Savoy, London,

With a glossy new film launched last week, currently you can’t move for Gatsby references. For those craving a slice of the roaring 20’s, Kaspars, the new seafood restaurant at the Savoy will fit the bill nicely ‘old sport’. There is a river view, but there are no brooding green lights blinking across the Thames here. An … Continue reading Kaspars, The Savoy, London,

Beagle, Hoxton, London.
Posted on May 17, 2013September 16, 2015

Beagle, Hoxton, London.

I was always going to love this place – after all I’ve harboured a secret desire to own my own beagle dog for years now. His name will be Double and is something of minor obsession in our house. But you don’t need to know any of that and so sorry, back to this place… … Continue reading Beagle, Hoxton, London.

The Hardwick Abergavenny, Wales.
Posted on May 10, 2013September 16, 2015

The Hardwick Abergavenny, Wales.

This is a throwaway statement but, for reasons far too complex to go into the majority of decent restaurants in South Wales, lie in and around Abergavenny.  It is a glorious part of the world, and a welcome break for those wishing to escape the city. Yet I would guess  it’s still  a tough place to … Continue reading The Hardwick Abergavenny, Wales.
