Special Zone 1997 probably serves the best beef brisket hor-fun in London. And the best thing is that it's going for a mere £3.80! Portions are generous but don't expect too much in service or ambience. Read full review.

It's Burns night but where's the haggis?!

Week 4

Happy Burns Night to all you haggis lovers!

To everyone else, don't panic! I'm not going to mention the 'H' word again. Having spent my formative years staring at a tea towel that explained in detail what it's made of and how to make it, I'm not the greatest fan. It's a bit like foie gras where you're better off not knowing the background story!

So instead, I'm going to talk about something that many people love, an idea of where to spend a romantic evening, and a suggestion for a quie… Continue

Bottle shock, tastings and merlot….



The last week or so has been uncharacteristically celebrity filled. I’m not talking X-factor finalist or Big Brother ‘stars’, I mean like Bob Geldof, Kristen Scott-Thomas, David Tennant…. you know, real famous people! They joined me at the opening night of Legally Blonde The Musical at Th… Continue

Something to warm you up!

As I trudged through the slush and the snow of the past week, it became very apparent that most people [sensibly] choose to stay indoors when it's so cold. Personally, I like it when it's freezing cold so long as a) it's sunny and b) I have 20 layers of clothes on although I have started to be known as Tinky Winky on those occasions.

Susan's Thought for the Week
Staying in is the new going out in January.
Instead of spending £20 on an average meal in a restaurant, spen… Continue

2010 - the year of eating better!

Why am I doing this?!

To celebrate the start of a new decade, I will provide a weekly foodie update that will hopefully help you to:

a) find really nice foods - in London
b) learn really easy ways to enjoy them (I'm not a chef so it won't be complicated)
c) enjoy really good, value for money restaurants - in London

I regularly get asked these questions by friends and family so by creating a blog, I'm hoping that this information can be enjoyed by a much wider group o… Continue

Whisky For Everyone

Great places to drink whisky ... Albannach, London

We were lucky enough to be invited to the recent launch night of the newly refurbished Albannach restaurant and whisky bar in London. Albannach (pronounced al-ban-nack) translates as 'Scotsman' from the Gaelic language and the bar is located right on London's famous Trafalgar Square. It was originally opened in early 2005 and was a pioneer for deli

New Year Wine resolutions....

It’s January, your Christmas tree’s had it and let’s face it so have you. The party season has taken its toll and you’re ready to continue the traditions of the season and write your new year’s resolution list. This year I’ve taken a more than an average interest in my friend’s lists and now they’ll know why. Here are their top 5:

* lose weight
* get fit
* pay off credit cards
* drink less wine..... (eek)
* get married (double eek!)

If you’ve put ‘drink less wine’ on your list don’t write it o… Continue
