It’s been a long time… A review of Eve in Covent Garden (cocktail bliss!)
It’s a long time since I descended (descended, like underground; like checking out the fire escapes like Jason Bourne, or because I’m just paranoid rather than really a spy) into a dark bar of loud...
Still life
Taking a break from the excitement of my book being announced to the press last month, and posting a small still life for you all. £25 Basic media 20x19cm contact me on...
Virtually Deptford, A Review of Kitcho in Greenwich
Kitcho is somewhat off the beaten track from Greenwich, beyond even Davy’s wine bar, (in fact virtually Deptford). We were ordering for a friend on a delayed bus, ‘shabu shabu’ she called (via text)...

Dessert was definitely going to commence – a review of Crol&Co. SE1
I discovered Crol & Co two years ago when I trundled past on the bike (a gift from my husband) determined to work out how to get to the office on it in about 2hours; indicating by thinking...

Frosty Sunrise, (an unseasonable review of Oxleas Wood)

‘I did not suffer bone meltdown’ … a review of The Lord Northbrook, Lee SE12
I’m starting to find Lee a very attractive eating location. It has wide pavements and the ability to move from transport to eatery without having to wait at pedestrian railings while others in various modes of grumpiness pass by glowering. I’ve been meaning to review...
A review of Koy SE3
Finally, ownership has been taken of CAU the impressive (triple?) fronted building facing the heath with absolutely everything going for it except for apparently the occupancy of a restaurant that will not eventually go under. It’s now a Turkish restaurant and at the...
A review of Little Sparrow Tea
I may be known as a coffee shop blog, but the reality is that I’m much more of a tea snob. There are many things that annoy me about tea, and you may be practising some of them yourself, so I am declaring this a free-tea-opinion site, and state - NO! Earl Grey was...
“Things haven’t been the same” A Review of post-lockdown walks in SE London
It’s fair to say, things haven’t been the same lately. Summers are usually a feast of street food; “oh, we’ll diet tomorrow (assuming there’s enough money in the bank for baked beans) restaurant trips“ and ”I haven’t seen that flavour gin before, that counts as a...
“Stocked with all sorts of things that a home-cook might want to buy.” Charlton and Blackheath’s Expo International Supermarket
So you might have noticed, Expo International Supermarket as you drove along Charlton Road recently, partially because of its load up of kitchen roll in its otherwise empty windows not all that long after a kitchen roll shortage Or you might have noticed the piled up...
