For many of us, running our own pub is a dream. From ultra-modern gastro pubs, to cosy rural inns with a log fire burning in the corner, the idea of owning the perfect pub and being its loveable landlord greatly appeals. However, making it a reality can often be time consuming and confusing. Continue reading

Honi Poke Fenchurch Street
Honi Poke has opened its second location in London, this one near Fenchurch Street Station. Already a fan of Honi’s original Soho site (it’s probably my favourite poke in town), I was glad to hear the new of a more easterly sister outlet – and even more so when I got invited round to for a taste.

An Evening of Meat at The Vaults
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.

Kanada-Ya | #TCTalks Episode 15
Japan’s legendary Kanada-Ya has just launched its third ramen bar in London. This one’s on Upper Street near Angel Station. I think the generous bowls of ramen served at Kanada-Ya’s St Giles High Street and Panton Street branches are some of the yummiest things to slurp in town – and are well worth braving the sometimes rather lengthy queues to have. I love the classic tonkotsu (pork bone broth, chashu pork belly, wood ear fungus, seaweed and spring onion) with my noodles served “hard” (there’s a choice of soft, regular, hard and extra hard) with loads of grated sesame seeds sprinkled on top.
