Comfort food is simply prepared and gives a sense of wellbeing, which is why this week at TableCrowd we have selected the classic Sausage and Mash for our ...
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.

Read MoreSince the TableCrowd blog; Egalitie, Fraternity, And A Slice Of Cheddar: On London Burgers was published last week, I have made it my mission to take on 'The Devastator Burger' at Red Dog Saloon on Hoxton Square. I will be rallying some troops and encouraging them to join me on a Man Vs Food style challenge in the very near future - well, after a month or two of solid preparation and ...
Read MoreThe sandwich, as everyone knows, was popularised by a fat, corrupt, adulterous Etonian aristocrat in a wig who aspired to be able to stuff a light meal down his gullet and drunkenly gamble the night away at the Hellfire Club without ever having to pick up a fork or put down his hand of cards. In short, it’s a quintessentially British creation. At first glance it appears sensible, composed, and breathtakingly ...

Read MoreFirstly, let me say thank you to every one that attended. I understand that being involved, especially as a founder, in a start up in an incredibly time demanding occupation - but I think as the evening demonstrated, taking time away from the screen to sit down and chew the fat with fellow entrepreneurs is time well spent. The overriding success of the night, was the atmosphere of exchange, openness and ...
