Regular readers may have noticed that I always give a bit of extra praise to restaurants that provide that little something extra. This could be fantastic service, the best cooking imaginable or, in probably my favourite cases, food that you just doesn’t see anywhere else.
This is certainly the case at Bar Shu, which I have [...]

You say that the free London papers are good for nothing then you actually find something useful in them; as I did when I found out about London Restaurant week - £25 for a three course meal sounds like a bargain and a good way to sample what would normally be an expensive restaurant in [...]
Thinking outside the box
to think outside of the box I must first know what it feels like to be inside one
just shoot me now

Everyone loves JavaScript now don’t they!?!

The Taste of London festival
What with all the @media 2006 heat going on during the week - and the nice additional meet up on the Saturday (in which I did feel that my jokes were going down well, probably due to beer!) Either ways with all this fun it was very easy to forget that I had booked [...]
A new CSS Opera bug?
