Apparently a baby was born this week and even I had a smile on my face but we won’t dwell on it as the story has been done to death. Instead I want to talk about Quasi Khasis. In the past week I’ve been to two places where I’ve been told there’s a disabled toilet…
Hole in the Wall is a pub/restaurant in Cambridge and run by Alex Rushmer who was a MasterChef finalist in 2010. It’s like an old fashioned pub with it’s red patterned carpet but the food is wholesome and more expensive than you’d expect from such a pub. The Telegraph review says: “There were no foams…
Fennel restaurant is in Inverurie, Scotland. The restaurant serves a range of classic dishes all with local produce and their website says “our warm yet contemporary atmosphere will instantly relax you while our attentive staff spoil you.” Sounds good to me!

What a result in the cricket I was absorbed all week in the ups and downs of England in The Ashes. Keeping cool under the pressure of watching required more than one glass of wine but I managed to enjoy it, possibly!?! Later in the week I went to Petersham Nurseries in Richmond on a…
You can’t fail to spot Karpo. Located opposite the red bricks of St Pancras Station, this restaurant’s bold and vivid facade stands out from the crowd. The brightly coloured, graffiti style, decoration of the exterior is a very bold statement and is backed up with cool design and good food inside (although fortunately it’s not all…
Casamia is an Italian restaurant in Westbury-on-Trym. It’s a family-run business that, having been handed down from parents to children, has gone on to gain a Michelin star. It’s a real success story for this little restaurant to have become one of the most highly rated in the country. The two brothers, who know run…
