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.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
