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 Wrap is short this week as I’m feeling a little poorly after a night out with the Blue Badge Style team. We started at Archer Street cocktail bar and then had dinner at Brasserie Zedel both as good as our previous reviews indicated. The American Lieutenant nearly got up and sang with the waiters…

Last week I went on a long awaited visit to South Place Hotel in the city. It’s a hidden gem as it looks like an office block on the outside – The Musical Lieutenant waited outside for 10 mins before she realised she was standing by the entrance. We did a provisional review which looked…
Update Oct 2013: The Crowne Plaza is now the Ace Hotel and the restaurant is Hoi Polloi , created by the people from Bistrotheque. Described as “an English modernist brasserie”.
