Soho was always the natural location for Padella #3, and finally it’s here. A combination of it’s siblings and some Soho specific quirk, we’ve love being part of bringing it to life. Good luck to the Padella team and see you in Satan’s Pocket (just behind the beaded curtain)….

It’s finally happened. The merging of my love of a pub snug and immortality. So touched that my lovely clients have named this little corner after me: if anyone wants me I’ll be here, sipping a pint of their award winning Shingle Bay pale ale by sea.

The prettiest spot in Salcombe, tantalisingly close to being the best place for the freshest fish and a quenching pint. Opening very, very soon…

It’s been a busy time putting things out in the world, sometimes it’s essential just to take things in. Tangiers certainly filled the creative cup. Already on the ‘Go back’ list.

Well. That was the lunch that was. Exceptional dishes, service and company. And finally tried the Trullo vintage. Outstanding on all counts.
