As MGG has been at Brownie camp, Dr T and I took the opportunity to escape for a night away, and have had a fantastic night at The Crown Inn at East Rudham. It appears we did very little from the time we arrived except eat and drink, unless you count a long walk on Brancaster [...]

Time for Glastonbury but will there be food?
June 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment · BBQs, Foodie Travel, Foodie gifts, Foodie things to do, Outdoor cooking, Places to eat
Time for the trek to Somerset, tents at the ready, for Glastonbury. Will there be rain and mud, or just endless sun? And will there be anything to eat? And, to be honest, I’m never going to find out for real as I cannot imagine that this is ever going to be my scene. It’s [...]

Best apps for British foodies?

I never used to care about my mobile phone. First it just made calls, then texts, and then I really went upmarket and had one with a camera. And then that one died. And on a bit of a whim, plus curiosity, I bought an iPhone. And, other than the appallingly short battery life, I [...]

What are you doing this weekend?

Me, I shall be exhibiting some very bad dance moves under the influence of half a shandy at Party in the Park. Which is a serious dent in my foodie credentials (not to mention cool rating) as I guess I should have been heading to Taste of London. And having read Niamh’s review of her [...]

Dartmouth – my choice for a foodie Whitsun

So the spectre of the volcanic ash cloud returns, combined with BA cabin crew, ready to disrupt the plans of many to get away for Whitsun (ourselves included). Seems should have made plans that didn’t involve flying, but who knows, may get lucky. If I was planning a treat of a trip that wasn’t going [...]

48 hours of eating to and from Hong Kong
May 9th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Chinese Food, Foodie Travel, Foodie gifts, Places to eat
Not much to say, other than don’t travel with a fussy vegetarian who doesn’t like Chinese food! How can I have been to Hong Kong and had no Chinese food, at all? It’s a travesty. Here’s kind of the start to finish: Going to Birmingham next week, perhaps more chance of [...]

It’s hard to believe we’re nearly at the end of another year. As always in this household, there’s been a lot of eating over the year, from eating in to eating out, eating in the UK and eating overseas, eating alone and eating with friends. In fact, eating with lots of friends. So, here’s my [...]

Strictly fine dining in Blackpool
November 9th, 2009 · No Comments · Foodie Travel, Places to eat
I spent an amazing few hours inside the Tower Ballroom on Saturday night for the recording of this week’s Strictly Come Dancing. Which was the upside, and did come after several hours queueing outside in the cold and the rain, but was worth every moment. Although if you think that was dry ice being used, [...]
