http://www.angelwoolhampton.co.uk/index The Angel has had a chequered history, wonderful, dire, hopeful, dire, carvery all one phoenix like uprising after another. However having driven past the carvery sign so many times, seriously who does the word carvery attract except Toby eaters, I stopped at the fantastic Woolhampton Stores and saw an actual menu. This meant that […]

Yay Bladebone is back and happening
As many of you know I have always loved The Bladebone and was traumatised when it closed last year, indeed I had to go into deep therapy which consisted of eating at other places until I could have a good store of back up good places to go. I discovered Brebis, The Woodspeen, The Newbury, […]
Brebis – medical emergency!! Must read!
Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t have a medical emergency there as you may class it but it was a necessity that I ‘Brebis up’ before I go to Koh Samui. I lurked outside waiting for it to open looking very shady. I peered through the window at the chalkboard and saw Moules on it and […]
Apple Tree, Daughter Mother
Love love love the fact that Rachel Lawrence is setting up her food blog. Also loving the phone calls that start with menu items; love also that they come from my step children as much as my children. Have heard of an amazing place in Bristol, The Gallimaufry, that sounds like it definitely needs a […]
The Golden Triangle of Chapel Row
Oh I am such a lucky bunny. I live in the best place, so near to town yet close to country. Near civilisation but not close enough to impact on the residents of our house in any way. Really close to The Golden Triangle. I have written about the delightful Chapel Row before but, as […]
A tale of two Roasts: NHS v Bladebone
As many of you are aware I have been in the clutches of the NHS for the last week. I had hoped I was popping in for the day last Monday but the doctors had other ideas. I ended up staying for a week, desperately playing Hotspot with my phone and my Ipad. Why oh […]
Artisan Market – Chapel Row – get there early!
Who likes good food? Well I do as you know. This blog is about good food and places that you can get it. We are so blessed in West Berkshire, we have so many good pubs, restaurants and farmers markets. This post is about a new market that I went to recently. It is held […]
Eateries I praise and love
Coming up in about 20 minutes on 87.7 or http://kennetradio.com/site/show/weekend-woman/ Kennet Radio. Praise of The Vineyard, The Bladebone, Chapel Row Market and Brebis. We had such fun recording, the bits you don’t get to hear are even better!! Oh my, forgot to say I also go on about the lovely meat from Two Cocks. Oh […]
Brebis – Newbury
Oh yes, another great find, again this was recommended by people I respect so I popped in to ask for an interview and ended up buying a couple of starters. Will do a big interview with them for Kennetradio which goes live this week! Warm asparagus, sauce gribiche Look how beautifully this is […]
Best Tasting Menu – Enthralling and a Must Eat @bladeboneinn
This is incredible, in little old leafy Chapel Row, home to a library in a telephone box, a beautiful and quirky interior design shop and a coffee shop. That is it. Oh except for The Bladebone Inn. This pub is run by a genius chef, Kiren Puri, who is supported by talented and patient staff […]
Another example of good customer response v very average
We went to The Star in Kingsclere recently, one of the Vintage Inns and normally a great place to eat and take people to. It is a lovely place, lots of little corners and log fires and is pretty reliable as far as the food and staffing goes. I can normally rely on there being […]
