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.

    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
