How supportive am I of my favourite restaurants? Very is the answer. These are my guidelines, I try only to blog food that I love, the occasional exception is where I am taken by surprise. Also I blog whereever I am so obviously there is a huge Berkshire/Bristol bias but next month will be […]
16 Bartholomew Street – burn that name into your memory I am so loving the new pop up deal happening at 16 Bartholomew Street in Newbury. Helped enormously by the fact that the Mansfield Boys are organising it, how can anything they do go wrong. These guys LOVE their food […]
Have you been to Newbury Racecourse. Here’s a strange thing, more people attend regularly from outside Newbury, indeed it wasnt until West Berkshire Mencap started to have its annual Race Day there (March 3rd 2017 folks) that I became a regular attender. Yet it really is a fantastic day out. My bestie, Anne, loves […]
This post is dedicated to SUAS also known as shutupandshave or even James, my firstborn, because if you get to see this it is because of him, his amazing internet and website skills and just a bit of patience. What a wonderful evening I had, eating in the land of the bunny rabbit with my […]
With a huge sadness that Brebis as was will be no more but hells bells if you need a double decker bus of 5 star food this is the place to go I have to say that my new local is The Bladebone. Always welcoming, clever move even if you are swallowing your vomit as […]
This is one of those reviews that seems totally pointless. Every where I look I am seeing great reviews of the Crab and Boar, including the national papers. Still, I will give you my humble opinion regardless. Also at some point I will try out one of the rooms and review that. I have heard […]
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 […]
Oh I am so happy, this used to be a regular haunt of ours but a couple of years ago went downhill rapidly. Various dodgy dealings were involved that I know very little about but worst of all the food became rubbish. Now as you know there are may stabilities in my life, one, I […]
Oh this was exciting.  A trip to The Dew Pond, a fantastic restaurant in Old Burghclere which is virtually Watership Down. It was too dark to see any but I felt comforted just knowing that they were around in huge numbers. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love rabbits, I have a […]
This was an interesting dish, the cornichons and red onion jam were a lovely addition to what was quite a chunky rillette. One of the wonderful things about The Newbury is that they make their own bread which is wonderful. It is great to have a good quality dining place in the middle of Newbury […]
