Gidleigh Park in Devon (not even slightly London!) - very good food indeed, service good and very friendly, hotel lovely and views incredible. But a long way and nail-pullingly expensive.


Hawksmoor at Seven Dials - brilliant steak and very good cocktails. Nice decor but atmosphere still very "working dinner".


'MEATEASY - FINALLY GOING TOMORROW NIGHT. I'M VERY EXCITED.

Gaulthier in Soho. French influenced and great food. you can choose 3,4 or 5 courses, hand made chocolates thrown in at the end of the meal. There is also a tasting menu (both a meat and vegetarian version). The menu is a seasonal one and they have a Norfolk wild garlic risotto on at the moment which is delicious> Service is discreet but attentive and the Sommelier is very good and doesnt just recommend the most expensive wine. Its not cheap but it is a lovely treat.

Has anyone tried the 'Harvester' on 'Lordship Lane' yet?


We chose from the 'earlybird' menu (I wasn't paying - birthday treat!!) and started by sharing a 'harvest festival' platter. The flame-grilled corn on the cob was a little bland, but the onion rings more than compensated!


For mains, we struck-out on our own with an eye for the exotic: I with Cajun chicken burger, and her with the 'plantation platter' - a real taste of India!


Fruit skewers and an Irish coffee apiece- served in its own vase - made for a perfect ending.

I went by myself for lunch recently. It was bloody marvellous. Hot as in spicy, but really,really good.

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
