The Carpenters Arms. Apostrophe in Carpenters or not? Oh what the fuck do I care, I’m from Hull and I’d just tried to have a roast dinner at the place that I had BOOKED, The Horn of Plenty – only to turn up and find that it was closed for …
I like to live life on the random side at times, and the random number generator chooses many of our roast dinner locations, from my to-do list. This time it picked about the closest place to where I went last weekend – and this choice was The Horn of Plenty …
So how was that for you? I’m talking the first full week of the year – not my premature ejaculation. 5 whole days of work. Tough, wasn’t it? A roast dinner was earned this week if ever it was, and the random number generator had picked Palmer’s Restaurant in Bethnal …
After spending half the weekend writing my roast dinner awards for 2019, I’m not exactly inspired to write more. I wasn’t exactly that much more enthused by the selection of the random number generator of Wheatsheaf in Borough. I guess I should say Happy New Year. I get bored of …

Back in January, the owner of The Beast of Brixton messaged me to inform me that his chef would have his feet set in concrete in front of the oven to “facilitate the relentless tasting of our four day veal bone reduction gravy”. I was intrigued but I don’t do …
Don’t mention the election. Don’t mention the election. Don’t mention the election. Don’t mention the election. Don’t mention the election. This week I took a few delightful accomplices to The Royal Oak in Harlesden. The accomplices that were joining were keen on my choosing of somewhere that I thought would …
E’s are good, e’s are good, wahey, but is the gravy good? That was the question in my head on the way to Oslo in Hackney – a venue more known for being a nightclub than a restaurant. Can I finish? I’ve been to a few nightclubs in my life…let’s …
