Hell, it was the place I chose to get married, indeed my only regret of the whole day […]

Harrow at Little Bedwyn, seriously why only one star?
Roger (unseen, possibly unsightly or shy or just very busy cooking an amazing meal) and Sue Jones have got the most amazing establishment. I was won over when I turned up to see boxes of Bollinger waiting to be taken in. They were so lucky I am not drinking at the moment. […]
The Newbury in Newbury – great places both
When The Newbury Pub has an event then it is worth noting and putting in the diary. We have a lot of chain restaurants in Newbury and I am sure they are pretty good but I specialise in the independents. Pete Lumber has been a real gift to Newbury, he has invested so much in […]
Brebis West Berkshire Mencap Dinner Fundraiser
KC Tavern – complete turnaround, fab
I love a pub run by passionate people and the owners, Josh and Inna Khan, have it in heaps. In fact if you get a chance to chat to them they have the most amazing story of how they came to be running the KC. They could have a whole radio programme to themselves and […]
Brebis interview – run over by a steamroller of taste
How exciting, this is one very passionate man, great cook and must be hell to live with, appears to do everything at full speed! Sam is the chef and when I visited both his brother and mum were helping so it appears to be a true family business. In fact some of the meat on […]

I can’t wait to attend this event, details below, and our radio station is going live so I am going to be able to do some interviews with satisfied attenders and providers. How exciting, have you booked your ticket yet? Once I know which bits I am interviewing I will blog it immediately so you […]
Vineyard Annual Wine Festival – don’t miss this fantastic event!
As I am sure you have read in previous posts I am in no way a wine expert. I drink champagne and that is about it. However at one of my recent visits to the delightful Vineyard I was persuaded by Saffron, and she is VERY persuasive, of the importance of food and wine pairing. […]
The Vineyard Breakfast 2
Yes my happy eaters – a new post entirely devoted to breakfast at the Vineyard. I don’t know about you but one of the main reasons I stay at nice hotels is to eat a wonderful breakfast. I have several criteria and one is smoked salmon which they had. I knew they would . What […]
