B.Log May 2009
A touch of the Mediterranean by the Thames…
A stone’s throw from Vauxhall Cross (where our secret service hang out) Nar Restaurant and Bar sits on the Albert Embankment occupying the space created by two of the arches on which the trains to and from Waterloo station serve the west on London and beyond. I was invited to attend its official launch party recently and of course was happy to do so.
Browsing Brindisi
I was invited to an event at Brown’s Hotel in Dover Street, W1, hosted jointly by the Brindisi Chamber of Commerce and Antonio Tomassini, a Brindisi wine and food promoter, recently. The purpose was to promote the produce from this area of Puglia in southern Italy and together with other food and drink writers and some importers I was able to sample some of them.
Camino- a taste of Spain in Kings Cross
We were invited to Camino to sample the new range of wines that owner Richard Bigg is introducing, in association with his supplier Ben Henshaw, from Indigo Wine, who specialises in the supply of Spanish wines. This cavernous tapas bar/restaurant with its exposed Victorian brickwork giving it a kind of rustic feel, is set in the courtyard of The Regent Quarter, a stone’s throw from King’s Cross Station, in Pentonville Road.
Hell's Kitchen - it was heaven
It’s taken me a week to get over the hole in my life that is Hell’s Kitchen I began watching from the terylene embrace of a cheap bed in a hotel room in France and, thanks to Mr Tivo, watched it here when I came home late every night.
