Regular readers will know that I am trying to combine culture with dining. Being, from Hull, the UK’s official City Of Culture, my cultural leanings should come as no surprise to you. So this week’s attempt at pre-roast culture, was going to watch my football team, Hull City AFC (don’t …
This. Week’s. Re. View. Was. Go. Ing. To. Be. Writt. En. In. A. Ro. Bot .Ic. Form. Alas, I did not get to go to the robot exhibition as planned. My accomplice messaged me at 5am advising that he would not make the exhibition but would make the roast. And …
Dining partners. It is good to have them. I thought I had a dining partner/nutcase for this Sunday but alas, he couldn’t make it (and for the first time ever had a forgivable excuse). I could not find a replacement either. Not that I tried any harder than a tweet …

You wait ages for a review then two come along at once. A bit like buses, eh? Well, a bit like waiting at a bus stop for ages then two buses come along going on a totally different route than the one you require. But, hey, maybe pop on board …
I’m back. After an enforced month off because my local council won’t pay enough housing benefit to cover my rent unless I was living in a more expensive 1 bedroom flat/because I am selfish enough to insist on doing a job that I have trained for and for which there …
Edit 14/01/2018 – Have been advised that The Oxford has closed. #Sad. Sunday was a special day. A roast dinner day. I had a few accomplices in tow and I wanted a good roast dinner. The problem being is that nobody has yet done a truly informative blog about the best …
For my first roast dinner of 2017, I decided to head to my local, The Castle, in Harrow. On the hill. Harrow-On-The-Hill. You know, the posh bit where everyone is still complaining that they are surrounded by London. It really is very nice up there, walking up the hill you …
