If any of you don’t already subscribe to lovefood.com well why on earth not?? It is a fabulous site with great recipes, interviews and a lot of food porn. Today, sat in Kuala Lumpur, I had the best email from them which said that I had won a recipe competition, I am SO chuffed. The […]

What a difference in customer service – Waitrose v Boots
As you may know I had an op just before Christmas but being a wily fox had already booked my online deliveries. This is always risky because of ‘the substitutions!!’. For Christmas Day itself I wanted to immerse myself in seafood, I need loads of protein and the joy of bathing in whatever seafood I […]
The Angel – Woolhampton – excellent food has returned and some!
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 […]
Bladebone October 13 New menu new customers, thank you blog!
First of all such exciting news. We went to the Bladebone on Saturday to discover that a lovely couple had visited earlier in the week because they follow my blog!! Please identify yourselves, I am thrilled and delighted, mostly because I feel I am writing this for myself, friends and family, particularly the piggier ones […]
It is here, the new menu from Darren at The White Hart, Hamstead Marshall!!
At last I am allowed to talk about the new menu. It was with great excitement that I went along to the White Hart last week, happy that I was going to be able to input into the tasting (and input into my stomach). I honestly think that the White Hart is extremely lucky to […]
Browns Bar and Brasserie – mmmmm mushroomy
Yesterday we went to Browns Brasserie for the first time. The whole experience was delightful, made even more so by the lovely Danilo who served us. It was a fairly grand setting with a pianist playing downstairs which was interesting and much nicer than tinned music. Chicken Liver and Brandy Parfait with rhubarb and tomato […]

The Newbury June 2013
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 […]
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My worst nightmare has come true (besides losing any more teeth due to malnutrition, this is true by the way and I am looking for a kind tooth fairy!!!) . I have been invited to what sounds like the most gorgeous and wonderful event in the world, a demonstration then eating of fruits de mer […]
Rowbarge Woolhampton June2013
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, […]
The Newbury Pub
What a joy to have such a fantastic pub slap bang in the middle of Newbury. I am so used to going out to the Bladebone or the White Hart and yet we have another really interesting pub in Newbury Town Centre. This pub has been taken over by a very enthusiastic and hard working […]
