A meal at Alimentum, Cambridge

A meal at Alimentum, Cambridge

***This restaurant has since closed down*** What was I doing in Cambridge? Last week I spent a fantastic day with my friend and colleague Nancy volunteering with Teach First. I must admit, I have never been keen on volunteering with students (particularly teenagers!) and would rather spend my do good hours protecting the environment, both flora and fauna. Yet the day was going to be spent in Cambridge’s Corpus Christi college, not usually open to the public and that certainly…

A meal at Texture with Nespresso

A meal at Texture with Nespresso

***this restaurant has since closed down*** Texture is a Michelin starred Icelandic restaurant just behind Marble Arch. I had been wanting to visit for a while and the occasion came in the form of an invite to lunch from Nespresso, with the caveat that we would be challenged ‘to find out what’s missing’. Unfortunately I arrived late (for once I was using public transport and massively overestimated TFL capabilities) and missed something already: the welcome drink!The menu prepared for us, in…

A meal at Alyn Williams at the Westbury, Mayfair

A meal at Alyn Williams at the Westbury, Mayfair

***this restaurant has since closed down*** A couple of weeks ago I had some VIPs visiting (very important parents) so after a weekend in Ockenden, a delightful dog friendly dinner at Dock Kitchen, I also treated them to a Mayfair night out, since I had been wanting to try Alyn Williams for a while.  The restaurant is part of the Westbury Hotel, a stone’s throw from Regent street and, sort of expected around here, has an ambience of understated elegance…
