The Diary Of A Community Kitchen - 5 Willing Sudanese Lads
The Community Kitchen is a project about food in mouths and smiles on faces. This was a lunch cooked by 4 Sudanese young people using Surplus Food to help celebrate food from their home. An education on so many levels and a properly delicious eye-opening experience for any cook!
Chapters, Hay On Wye - Delicate, Delicious, Considered
Chapters, a Michelin Green Star restaurant in Hay On Wye. Delicate, delicious and considered. A produce led meal, packed with sustainability, great flavours and a beautifully delicate and elegant touch. Highly recommended!
Mighty M’s - Bacon Baps & Jerk Chicken On The A49
Mighty M’s is situated in a lay-by on the A49 between Shrewsbury & Ludlow, they serve English and Jamaican food. Proper hospitality, proper flavours from real people cooking with love. It’s a flavour packed experience, redefining lay-by food. This is how I got on!
The Tally Ho, Bouldon - The Lesser Spotted ‘Proper’ Pub Lunch
I fear the proper pub lunch is fading away. Lost and on it’s way to becoming folklore. There is a shining light though. The Tally Ho In Bouldon! Proper Pub Lunch! Wizards vs Dark Forces vs Sally Gunnell…..this is what I found when I went for lunch!
The Beech Tree, Oswestry
The Beech Tree, Oswestry is a great example of getting generosity right! Highly recommended!
Petit Glou - Light & Fresh Lunch Packed With Quality Produce
Petit Glou - a great example of considered, sustainably focussed food that doesn’t disappoint with flavour. Light, fresh, delicious!
My hunt for great fry ups continues. This time its Ma Bakers Cafe in Prees, Shropshire. A fairly mundane breakfast packed with happy nostalgic memories and a great example of where great food isn’t just about great flavour!
