This The Directorial Lieutenant – he is responsible for my BBS videos
Another day, another ultra hip US style restaurant! This time US tapas type dishes. Apparently Spuntino translates as snack. We went for the peanut butter and jelly sandwich but it will be remembered for the liquorice ice cream with pineapple. Amazing! The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. There was a bit of a wait…
I love Midsummer House restaurant – beautiful location on Midsummer Common near the river in Cambridge. I used to go when I walked with a stick even though using the toilets was a struggle as they are up a number of stairs. The food was and is excellent and I am dying to try the…
I have to admit I have not been to any of the Hix Restaurants but I did eat Mark Hixs’ food at The Ivy and Le Caprice many years ago and very good it was. However, I wasn’t even aware of him as a chef until I saw The Great British Menu 2007 on BBC2, where…
Lieutenant No.1 went out on his own – ‘how very dare he!’ He went to Duke’s Brew & Que. Here is his report: Stylish, hip BBQ joint. It had the feel of a bona fide Brooklyn restaurant. A great inside bar and restaurant with space outside streetside too. The beef ribs were the best I’ve…

I have been there many times, and I know it’s perfect. There is room for 8-10 person, and 4 of the bedroom/bathrooms are accessible…

I have reviewed Assaggi as I went there when I could walk with sticks. It’s in a room above The Chepstow pub in Chepstow Place and is up a flight of stairs! Totally inaccessible by wheelchair, unless you’re carried, but if you can make stairs it’s worth the effort. There is no disabled toilet either…
