Check out Anna's second blog and how she got on at "Dinner & Drinks at Cape Town Fish Market!" Despite lacking any evident sentiment for home pets (unless they are super cuddly or adventurously lively such as myself) my former flat mate decided one day on getting an extra attraction to fill an empty space in our expansive living room... The next day, it arrived. A gigantic water tank full of some of ...
Read MoreI joined friends for dinner at Dishoom on Boundary Street in Shoreditch, a “Bombay café in London”. You can book for groups under 6, so we rocked up at around 7pm with a few groups ahead of us in the queue, but in the 10 minutes it took for us to make it through the door, the queue behind us had formed out the street. Impeccable timing. Once in, the ...
Read MoreIntroducing Tanya, one of our TableCrowd members. See how Tanya got on at her latest “3 course Indian tasting menu @ Mint Leaf“ dinner, in her latest blog: Cuisine: Indian **1/2; Price: approximately £32 per person Having grown up on curry, I am naturally picky when it comes to Indian. Somebody who has lived in, or dined, in the subcontinent usually tends to find Indian food in central London to be quite bland. This ...
Read MoreIntroducing Sarah, one of our TableCrowd members. See how Sarah got on at her latest “Friday Night Fun and Pan-Asian Street Food“ dinner, in her latest blog: Despite considering myself a sociable, friendly person after a very hectic week at work I was a little nervous about meeting a group of strangers for dinner. I was reassured though as it was a full table I was sure that a group of seven ...
Read MoreIntroducing Anna Konieczny, one of our TableCrowd members. See how Anna got on at her latest “Thai Dinner in a Mango Tree" dinner, in her latest blog: The weather not only has a powerful hold over our moods but it completely changes our appetite as well. Summer- we are drawn to food full of light, fresh citrus flavours and vibrant green salad leaves whereas in autumn, we crave the comfort of slower, warmer ...
Read MoreI live just around the corner from Dukes Brew & Que in De Beauvoir, Hackney. Having walked by this place (leaving a wide berth) 100’s of times when it was in its former state as a local and pretty rough looking boozer, I was surprised to see it so quickly reformed as an gastropub, with every table packed pretty much from day one. There’s a lively buzzy atmosphere with friendly ...
Read MoreI took the olds for lunch at Fifteen in East London a few years back so thought I’d check out it’s little sister / big brother in Watergate Bay, Cornwall. This is one of my favourite spots in the UK, photos included to show why, which is a good start to the experiences. It’s a tiny bay, with everything you need to eat, drink, sleep and surf within 100m. After a ...
Read MoreI had never eaten Crocodile or Kangaroo, so when I sat down to inspect the menu, I knew from the outset I was in for a new culinary experience of some kind - good, bad or strange, was yet to be decided. The table was one of our Hungry Romantic tables, and we were 5 intrepid explorers venturing forth to discover whether the exotic could be erotic. As a venue Archipelago ...
Read MoreFluid in Smithfield Market - oooh those chicken katsu rolls. Fluid; a regular lunchtime haunt when I worked by Barbican and now, not frequented enough by me, mainly due to not being in my immediate eye sight or on a direct bus line from my door. Convenience is key in my world. It was a craving for the chicken katsu rolls that I've only ever seen on a sushi menu here, ...
Read MoreWe had some tickets for the 'Tent and Super Brands London' exhibition a couple of weeks back and for some crazy reason we headed down to Brick Lane a week prior to the actual exhibition. We were on top of the Old Truman Brewery (where the exhibition was held) and couldn't see any kind of signage. After some casual frustration we checked the tickets. Wrong weekend. Doughnuts. Oh well, whilst ...
