Bristol – Eating & Drinking – Fastfood & Takeaway It’s hard to really know what the best part of a McDonald’s visit is – we got back from the Bedminster branch about an hour ago, and I can say with honesty that I certainly don’t feel like eating anything else for quite some time. It’s…
London – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – Japanese & Sushi For someone with “tapas baggage”*, the idea of a “tapas style” place can be fraught with angst and a sense of impending disaster. Although as Tapasia describes itself as “Japanese Tapas” the agony’s a little lessened… after all, sushi and sashimi are easily shareable…
London – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – Other Asian – Korean Having worked in the area for a while, Kimchee is typically referred to as a landmark with the description, “That Korean place that always has the queues out the front”. If you have the good fortune of spending any time inside, the reason…
London – Eating & Drinking – Cafes & Coffee Shops Damson Café replaces a fairly forgettable Italian bistro, and though some might claim that this area’s already got loads of choice where coffee is concerned I think the addition of Damson is no bad thing! Even on a murky day it’s a bright, airy space…
London – Eating & Drinking – Restaurants – Mexican Atmosphere-free refit of an atmosphere-free refit of a former Pret: El Mexicana seems to churn out a solid burrito, although doesn’t come near some of its neighbours.

London – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Bars Maybe I had the wrong expectation of this place – I thought that pop-up bars were meant to be about making quirky, innovative and memorable use of space that was only available for a short time, whereas the modus operandi of this place appeared…
We’re back up in Edinburgh this year for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival – this time Marty’s over from Australia, and he’s joined Liz, Billy, Myk, Kat & I in a nice centrally-placed apartment for a week of theatrical excess and mayhem. So far we’ve seen (I suspect I’ll edit this list a few times in…
New York – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Pubs – Microbreweries Not strictly a microbrewery (in that they don’t actually make their own beer… guess that’s a bit of a biggie, really), Lazy Boy is a bar which – as the story goes – was started by a couple of tradesmen who…
60 comedians in 60 minutes sounds like a potentially ridiculous format for a gig, and if you thought that you’d be absolutely right. However somebody cooked the concept up, and there’s clearly plenty of talent keen to get involved because when I went to Comedy Rush at the Shaftesbury Theatre it was the second night…
Bristol – Eating & Drinking – Restaurants – Italian & Pizza Poor Jamie must be run ragged getting around and personally supervising all the pasta houses that are springing up (about 20, so far) adorned with his cheeky moniker. We thought we’d give the recently opened one in Bristol a go. First tip is to…
