Oh no; I wasn’t criticising in any way. I was merely reflecting on the fact that it hadn’t been posted on or 6 weeks and then someone did at exactly the same time as I created a new thread, s’all.

Typical. I find the 2021 thread to see when the last post was in order to decide whether I post my review of Maru on it or start a 2022 thread, see that the last post was mid-December and start a new thread. Only to discover after posting there are 3 new posts on the 2021 thread. Apologies.

Sushi Tetsu,Clerkenwell. Shite. Utter shite. Don’t go. Unless you like perfection. Maru is booked for mid Jan. It won’t be as good, irrespective of what Coren says.

Dolce Caffe & Restaurant - Rickmansworth. My mum used to go out for dinner on her wedding anniversary (today) with my father. They did that for 59 years, until he died in 2015. Since then, I’ve taken up the mantle, supported by the ever-patient and loving GLDHI. My mum has simple and...

:whistle: From an email sent personally to me, with no copyright caveat contained therein. It really was.

LPM Restaurant and Bar, Brook's Mews, Mayfair. I was taken by one of the VCs who had invested in my previous company who wanted to thank me for making them some more money on its sale. They clearly have more money than sense. It's a French joint. Buzzy, with a youngish crowd who mostly...

Kitchen Table 2*, Charlotte Street, The Smoke (blud). Long time readers of this thread will remember that the GLDHI and I have been following James Knappett and his wife, Sandia since long before he got his first star. We went back to celebrate me having sold the last company I ran after 6...

I was invited to a late pre-opening trial run. It was excellent, but they said they hoped it’d be better when they’d ironed out the wrinkles I didn’t notice. We’re hoping to go in November. I ate at LPM last night. I’ll do a review You tart.

Dirty boy, eh?

Grey goose martini, very dry, up, with a twist Old fashioned Long Island ice tea Whisky sour Mojito

Barts SW3. La Poule au Pot SW1 Cocktail bar beside Gaucho, just along from Bibendum, followed by a French Brasserie on the border of Pimlico and Chelsea. The brasserie is an institution; it’s been there for 50+ years. I could write a long review on both, but I just CBA. Suffice to say that I...

Some excellent wines there. It prompted me to spend an hour looking through some past MW papers. I reckon I’d do OK on about 50% of the tasting questions (they list at the end the wines being shown) and about 20% of the theory - I’d be able to provide some response to every question, but I’d...

Osborne Bros, Leigh on Sea. I seldom travel to Essex. Most of my experiences involve the bottom end of the M11 and Stansted airport. Today, however, we braved the Wild East. It all started with the GLDHI stealing my office chair. Many years ago I treated myself to a second hand Herman...

Mixed rice, meat, and veg - typically with a fried egg on top. Usually served with a side of kimchi. Like all dishes, it can vary between shite and amazing - depending on the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the chef/cook.

Well remembered. Yes. Hence ‘not impressed’

I see Andrew Wong got 2. Not impressed. Not yet been to the Connaught under Darroze; suspect it'll be tougher now! Not at all surprised that Core got 3.
