We’re finally ready to call it: the wet, grey and cold winter is over and warm weather is here. We didn’t want to declare it too quickly but the first Bank Holiday weekend of the Summer is about to hit us and the weather forecasts are very promising. Having said that, you really never can…
I mentioned before in my Weds Wrap that I’m going to be speaking at Digital Shoreditch this month. It turns out that a lot of time needs to be spent preparing for this and honing my speech to perfection. This week I’ve had to write up a brief synopsis of what BBS is all about and what I’m…
I mentioned last week I was going to West Ham to see ManU play with Lieutenant No.1 and on the way we stopped off in Shoreditch for something to eat. We went to Albion which is the ‘caff’ part of the Conran, Boundary hotel. I love this hotel as they have accessible rooms and although…
Morston Hall is in Norfolk, 2 miles from the coast. It’s an ‘intimate country house hotel’ run by Galton Blackiston and his wife. He’s a Michelin Starred Chef often seen on Saturday Kitchen on BBC1. They have a Michelin Star and 3 AA Red Rosettes amongst a myriad of other awards. So the food must be…

Another Malmaison hotel is in Birmingham. It’s another in this chain of boutique hotels. Like the other Malmaison hotels we’ve reviewed they do have accessible rooms but they only have baths and not showers… There is a disabled toilet on ground floor and lifts to every floor from there. Malmaison, Birmingham looks stylish but has no true…
I know it’s been cold but I thought my friend was crazy when he mentioned Bodo’s Schloss, an Alpine restaurant and bar, as a good place to go for an evening out. It’s next to The Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London and has been frequented by Prince Harry (apparently). It does look like fun as it…
Calls Landing is in Leeds. They describe themselves as a pretty riverside bar & eaterie with great food & music inside and fab views outside. They say they serve stews and fresh oysters washed down with real ales and an amazing selection of wines. We haven’t audited the bar yet but we’ve found out that…
