More news on the Bailey’s Glide. It is foul. Sold as a longer, smoother version of the Bailey’s experience it is just watered down Bailey’s in a litle bottle. Sold in a 200ml bottle, and packing a not very whopping 4% punch it takes[…]

Sorbet! It’s like ice cream that hasn’t happened.
But it did. It happened so much, capping off a superb if classic meal at The Atrium in Edinburgh ‘ a far better restaurant than many of its London equivalents. And it led me to th[…]

I rarely eat supermarket sandwiches, Uxbridge has a couple of very good sandwich shops in Scoffs and Pumpernickels who will custom build you the sandwich of your choice. However today I went into Marks’ in search of a change and found there sm[…]

The entire pub experience remains a bit of a mystery to me so I’m allowed to ask #1: re The Lamb in Lamb’s Conduit Street (and any other pubs this applies to).
