Based in the Ascot countryside, which is reassuringly close to London, the setting for Coworth Park is a rather stunning one. Once checked in we go for a walk around the grounds, all 240 acres of them. Wildflower meadows unlike anything I’ve seen before lead out onto Polo fields as far as the eye can see.

After hearing the news that Ben and John Salt had sadly parted ways four months early (meaning I wouldn’t be able to return and try his … Continue reading John Salt with Neil Rankin
Ever since visiting Tom Aikens restaurant in Chelsea we became big fans of his. When we found out he would be cooking during our visit to The Cube we were super excited. We’ve been to The Cube twice before (Daniel Clifford and the Casamia boys cooked on our previous visits) and we’ve absolutely fallen in love with the place – it’s quite hard not to. … Continue reading Tom Aikens: The Cube by Electrolux
Luckily for me and my gentleman companion, we were invited (rather last minute on Twitter) to a one off Stripped Back lunch cooked by Ben Spalding at Redhook restaurant.
