I and Lieutenant No.4 (I don’t care carer), went to the OXO Tower Brasserie the other Sunday for lunch. We were invited by his sister who was down on a Whiskey Convention – don’t ask!? It was sunny but not warm enough to sit on the terrace even though they are both Glaswegian and used…
Update 2013 Prism has now closed ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Prism is part of the Harvey Nichols group of restaurants.

I’ve had a busy Easter and am pleased to report that there are two new venues worthy of 3 Blue Badge Style ‘Ticks’ – Murano restaurant in Mayfair and The Zetter Hotel & Town House in Clerkenwell. Also had an exciting time in Shoreditch with Lieutenant No.1 – not a disabled toilet to be found.…

I have always loved their flour-less lemon drizzle cake from the delicatessen in Notting Hill, so I was looking forward to the visit especially as No.1 was eating meat again. I am usually wary of going to…
I have been meaning to go to The Cinnamon Club restaurant for a number of years. Primarily because it’s one of the few restaurants that have been consistently recommended to me in Victoria, London. It serves modern Indian cuisine and I’ve never been too keen ever since I had a really hot curry in Brick Lane. I arranged to…
I went to Pollen Street Social for lunch as opposed to my previous visit for dinner. The food was again superb and I must recommend the ‘Spanish Egg’ as it was an interpretation of an English Breakfast. I had a hangover so it was just what I needed but a lot more refined and tasty than a…
45 Park Lane is part of The Dorchester Collection and is just opposite the Dorchester Hotel. I had wanted to investigate for a while and went the other week. Lieutenant No4 was meant to accompany me but cancelled just as I was getting into my taxi( now you know why he’s known as the ‘I…
