We are so lucky in Newbury to have some great restaurants like The Newbury and now this fantastic pop up. Different people operate different nights and tonight we went to Henry & Joes Dining Table @16BartholomewStreet. The food is first class on every night regardless of who is operating that night and it is […]
Another place I love and will support is The Newbury pub, not a chain and run by some magnificent people. I have followed Darren (not in a stalkerish way!) for many years and it is great to see his influence coming through and being encouraged by the lovely Pete Lumber. By the way I […]

I went to interview at the Rowbarge recently but unfortunately was held up my dining partner so just ate instead. Great food, an interesting starter of smoked salmon layered with potato and a great caper salad. Rachel had an impressively chorizo laden bruschetta topped with houmous which she enjoyed enormously. This braised lamb looked amazing, […]
