Raising Eyebrows with Lowbrow Rosé Pairings (31 Dover)

Posted on 2018-05-17 by tikichris

It pays to think pink when shopping for sunny day refreshments to drink with easygoing eats. Relegated to its own odd corner of way too naff for a certain set of folks and far too hoity-toity for others, rosé wine is often overlooked as an ideal option for all sorts of laidback occasions. Fact is these people are missing out. Rosé goes great with all sorts of grub – and is usually nicely priced for affordable foodie fun. Continue reading →

An Evening of Meat at The Vaults

Posted on 2018-04-28 by Alexandra Kalinowski

It’s not often I’m handed a scoop of chicken liver atop a savoury cone and watched as I take each bite. I don’t know whether to stare back at her, or if she wants me to smile and look away. She’s about two inches from my face and can hear the crunch as I bite through the cone despite the thumping music. We’re doing a dance, but I’m not dancing. Continue reading →
