Pied a Terre
Do you have a ‘list’? That seemingly never ending list of all those amazing places to eat out in London – those pop-ups and new openings and more trends that you shake a finger at.
But what about those of the old school? Those steady places that will always be there, quietly rocking away and blowing your socks off while nobody is watching. Those are the ones you really ought to be watching and Pied a Terre is pretty high on that list.
A luxury stay at Jade Mountain, St Lucia
White sands and glittering turquoise seas are some of the first things that come to mind when you picture a Caribbean holiday and landing into St Lucia, your dreams become a reality.

Dining in the sky, flying First Class with BA
“We’re going on a baby-moon”, I exclaim excitedly to friends. Simultaneously, the husband is telling friends “We’re going to watch England test cricket in the Caribbean”.

A luxury stay at Le Manoir aux Quat’ saisons
Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir needs no introduction. On a much longed for mini-break through Oxfordshire, swerving off the motorway into Great Milton, my senses are on high alert. Even Husband, who has been known to look at me blankly as I extolled the virtues of chefs unknown – to him that is – instantly recognised…
The Fat Duck
The Fat Duck, celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal’s 3-Michelin starred restaurant is one of the most exciting restaurants in the world. Frequently topping the ‘World’s best restaurant list’ you can understand my excitement when after 2 hours of re-dialling, I got through to make a reservation. The occasion? Our first wedding anniversary, on this day back…
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, Hospital Road
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay is one of those stable features on the fine dining scene and how lucky we were when the brother & sister-in-law gave Husband an incredibly generous voucher for lunch at this 3 Michelin star favourite!
