Resto 34 Rosso Pomodoro, Covent Garden
Good pizza, proper Neapolitan fried stuff and a bit of a rant about paying for stuff in the National Gallery that you can usually see for free.
Cricket and Society in South Africa, 1910–1971
Thanks to the encouragement and energy of the editorial team of Bruce Murray, Richard Parry and Jonty Winch Cricket and Society in South Africa, 1910-1971 is now in print as part of Palgrave's series of studies in sport and politics. The largest guffaw of the BSSH's* recent conference came when one of the delegates said that sport and politics shouldn't mix. Our book is a c. 70,000 word refutation of that statement.
Resto 33 Kayal, Leamington Spa
Kayal is a class act in north Lem. While lacking the crazed charm of King Baba it more than makes up for it with good food and quality service.
Resto 32 Here Crouch End, Crouch End
While prices at Here (I know, right) are a little too steep to make it a regular outing it is a place I can heartily recommend to ethically conscious north London foodies (I believe there are a few around).
Resto 31 Goods Office, Stroud Green
A welcome addition to the local resto scene in an underserved corner of north London, Goods Office delivers handsomely on the food front.
Isokon Gallery, Hampstead
A short post on #Isokon Gallery, Hampstead. An excellent small museum devoted to #Modernism and Modernists, patrons, artists, architects and writers. #1930s #London
Resto 30 Rusty Bike Indian Kitchen, Kings Cross
A waiter with personality, a BYOB policy and excellent food make The Rusty Bike the number one option for Indian in Kings Cross. Oh, and see the Pablo Held Trio if you can.
Resto 29 Café Populaire, Rouen
High quality onglet on a sunny terrace. Good times.
Resto 28 Le Bistroquet Chez Cédric, Rouen
A testing day is rounded off at a good bistro with a world class view. I liked Le B, especially when the bill came in at a surprisingly moderate 60-odd euros. The ability of good food, wine and company to assuage middle class woes is something that I am very aware of and never take for granted.
Resto 27 Machiya, Leicester Square
Perfect Katsu makes Machiya the go to Japanese in the West End for lunch and better value than Shoryu around the corner. No wonder people queue out the door to get in.
