Fino – A Love Story
10/10, Fatthomas, ReviewAfter a prolonged spell of introspection on how to approach an overdue column on my favorite restaurants my pondering came to a somewhat surprising and poignant conclusion. My affair with eating throughout my electoral...
Tarragon and Mustard Chicken
Fatthomas, RecipeWeekday cooking can be a drag, especially if you have a demanding job. The likes of Nigel Slater have always been helpful in finding honest and quick alternatives to your local take-away. This favorite...
Review – The Red Lion & Sun
8.5/10, Fatthomas, ReviewI'm not sure how to put this without sounding erroneously negative, but The Red Lion & Sun should not exist. Not in Central London and not a forty-five minute walk from dreadful three-laned Euston...
Review – Señor Ceviche
8/10, ReviewWho doesn't hate Carnaby Street? Answer: Out-of-Towners, and I am not talking about the awful movie with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn.

Review – Duke’s Brew & Que
7.5/10, Micro-Review, ReviewAnother greasy finger joint and probably not worth an exhaustive review - not at least because of its similarity to so many other great London BBQ venues. But without a doubt some of the...
Review – Bad Egg

Review – Smoking Goat
7/10, ReviewUntil this afternoon when I randomly strolled down Denmark Street I had no idea that Smoking Goat is now open during daytime, and evidently neither did anybody else - I ended up being the...
Review – Blanchette
9/10, ReviewWhen writing negative reviews I often question my subjectivity - am I just grumpy? Was I just unlucky? Will my tiny, unimportant blog have a negative impact beyond its humble intentions? Am I just...
Review – Spuntino
8/10, ReviewI have never left Spuntino not drunk. This is a fact of life just like creepy pimps on Rupert Street or drinking pints in the freezing cold in Soho. And I like it.
Another fact...
Coq au Vin
RecipeThe old classic, Julia Child style.
Boiling the bacon first is a really worthwhile thing to do - it purifies the bacon flavour without making the end result too salty. No smoked bacon!
A good choice...
