I’m away from the kitchen this week (and mostly, joy of joys, away from the computer), taking a short break in sunny Windsor. I have Malaysian noodle restaurants and Joel Robuchon to investigate in London, Heston Blumenthal’s pub in Bray to visit on Thursday, and I’m on a quest to find any non-chain restaurants here in Windsor itself. Updates will be brief and even more sporadic than usual this week, but do keep tuning in; there are some interesting reviews coming up.
No related posts.
Oh dear, I’ve been saying rude things about Heston.
Gurgle. Just back from the Hind’s Head, and I’m actually kind of bowled over. Ridiculously good value (which surprised me – I’d made sure there was plenty of room on the credit card, which wasn’t necessary at all), absurdly good attention to detail in the food – and God, that food was good. I need to sleep on this before writing about it.
Of course, exceptionally good restaurants always present a problem, because there’s nothing more aggravating than reading a review of unalloyed cheerfulness. I will endeavour to complain a bit about the signs that said ‘Low ceiling. Duck or grouse’. Because seriously, they were the only thing I could find to criticise about the place.
