Lower East launch by Canary Wharf Pier
This half of foodepedia’s ‘two-headed monster’ (pa, the back half) works at Canary Wharf, and is often asked where to eat or drink – the answer has invariably been ‘somewhere else’. The small taste of Lower East that we had has certainly left us intrigued to go there and eat.

Peeking around Chatsworth
Part two of our Peak District visit finds us checking out the glories of Chatsworth, and rifling through the Duke’s rooms, gardens and restaurant.
The proof is in the Bakewell pudding
Continuing our tour of the Peak District we visited the Bakewell Show; an annual riot of food, drink, cattle, dogs, manure, mud, wellies, dogs, smells, jousting knights, dogs and farm machinery that can take your arm off in seconds.
Mestizo launch their Gastronomic Week
Mestizo’s Gastronomic week was launched on Monday with a bustling party.

A Break in The Peaks
Looking for a late summer getaway? The fabulous Peak District and Derbyshire arethere to be discovered with quality hotels, superb restaurants, local produce created with care, sites to see and of course fantastic scenery.

Kasturi launches its fish festival
For those of you who don’t think that seafood works with curry, we can say, that provided that the mix of spice is right, it does. Kasturi’s menu is very reasonably priced and it is well worth going along and trying the fish menu, or just selecting one or two dishes as part of your meal.
