On our second last day in Aix en Provence, we accidentally went to a Turner exhibition. ‘Accidentally’ is overstating it. We intentionally walked there, and obediently bought our tickets at the entrance. Happily walked through the lovely rooms full of elegant furniture. Took an obligatory mirror selfie. And wound our way up and down a…

Brewhouse and Kitchen – Pie, mash, and a well lost pub quiz
Last night I went with some friends to the Brewhouse and Kitchen in Islington. In truth we were actually there for their Monday night pub quiz. We had been threatening each other with it for the last few months and had finally decided to bite the bullet and put our general knowledge to the test….
Black Axe Mangal
Are you the sort of person that wants to eat delicious food and rock out at the same time? If so, then B.A.M is the place for you. A few days after I’d posted about my birthday dinner at Tredwell’s I received a text from my friend. “Rare indeed!” it read “Fancy a trip to Black…

A visit to the Backyard Pub
It turns out that I have awesome friends that have awesome friends that think it’s a good idea to build a real genuine English style pub in their backyard (and they’re right! it is!!). Firstly, we travelled from central London out to Watford so I had the opportunity to say ‘where am I?’ with my…
It’s the simple things….
It really is, or at least it can be. Of course I logically know that I can go into a cafe and order all sorts of exciting things with sauces and chutneys and sides et al, dishes that I wouldn’t or couldn’t cook at home, but sometimes all I really want is a delicious piece…
