Welcome to the first Weds Wrap of 2014. You know when to stop saying Happy New Year – when it’s not!! Don’t get me wrong I’m quite happy but the b*****ds are trying their best to make my life as difficult as possible. Had a great Xmas visiting a number of great places as I…
Baku (named after the capital city) is the only Azerbaijan restaurant I know of in London if not the UK. So it’s got my interest especially as they cater for ‘casual dining’ (the new trend in eating out) with their sharing plates. Unlike other casual dining experiences they take bookings and you don’t queue. There are…
Grain Store Restaurant, mentioned in this article, has been visited and access and disabled toilet are fantastic as is the food. N.B. make sure you don’t inadvertently order two courses with the same vegetable, can be overwhelming. They get a fully audited max 3 BBS Ticks, excellent. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… For many people who made it a…
Over Xmas my family & friends kept me busy by arranging trips out! This included a visit to Berners Tavern, (part of Edition Hotel previously reviewed here), a visit to The Vaudeville Theatre to see The Duck House and a visit to The Opera Tavern in Covent Garden. All enjoyable in their different ways and…

I was bemused to see that their toilet is an ‘Easy Access’ one. Here is his very succinct report: The Frozen Mop is part of the…
This week I’ve spent all my time waiting in for deliveries. Shopping on line supposedly saves time and effort but it’s becoming as bad as going out in the ‘Xmas Rush’ – at least you meet fellow human beings that way, instead of people with a call script or worse still an inanimate voice telling…
Thanks to Andy for sending us this review of his recent trip to Le Manoir: I decided to take my wife to Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons for her birthday. Tucked away in the Oxfordshire countryside Le Manoir is a tranquil haven. From the moment we arrived the level of service was outstanding and…
The Boathouse is located right on the river front in Cambridge and has a decking outside so you can sit and enjoy the view of the river and Midsummer Common in the summer. If you did want to get food here, you should know that it’s token ‘pub grub’. The pub is part of Greene King…
