Opening Remarks ...

This blog is very simple: as a self confessed lover of all things food, wine & restaurants, I have threatened to keep a record of my journey of food for some time. I will review all restaurants of note, and no doubt beam a critical eye over my own culinary endeavours too.

These are my experiences and I am only qualified in the sense that I am committed to finding and tasting good food; available from retail, in restaurants & on my travels. These experiences are the source of my comparisons. In addition to my work-life being involved with and working closely alongside many operators within the hospitality industry, I have worked directly in the industry in years gone by and my formal education was a BA (Hons) in International Hotel Management.

Food and dining is my passion and I am using this blog to keep a record of my experiences for me and my children to read in future years. If you enjoy reading them too then that is a bonus. I make no apologies for some of the lengthy scrawl - the detail is often the key.
