Khan’s is a renowned Indian eatery in Queensway, London. It is cavernous with large pillars bedecked with faux palms. One remembers it was a magical, buzzy, bazaar-like emporium in one’s younger days. Queuing was de rigeur unlike tonight (Sunday). One soon realised why. No queue, no atmosphere. The waiter grunted as… Read More ›

Opera & Food
Dear readers, this is difficult. A confession. After which one may question your Doctor’s fine taste. Judge me as you wish. One has been to the opera. Sadly, not the Royal Opera House, nay not not even the ENO but an eatery festooned with twirling, opera singing waiters… Read More ›
Been seen in Speen
The English countryside is the ideal retreat to pass the weekend. Secluded villages conceal gastronomic surprises within an easy carriage ride from Londonium. Your Doctor ventured forth along the winding narrow roads of the Chilterns to find The Old Plow. An olde 17th Century pub, now a restaurant, secreted in the village of Speen in… Read More ›
It’s all gone fishy again
After a long wait, the new Brady’s fish and chip emporium opened quietly last week. It is a triumph. Keeping the character of the old smaller restaurant and the convivial, lively atmosphere. The addition of some “communal” bench tables is quite a… Read More ›

One step closer to Heaven
Fortescue dined at Mossiman’s and was effusive in his praise. It sounds delightful and the complete antithesis of the abominable Mc Spiggets. He was accompanied, no invited by Lady Hartwell and Lady Sloane . This is no ordinary restaurant dear… Read More ›
A Sunday Rose + trimmings
It was a day which chilled one to the bone. The frost was thick on the rooftops and the thought of a hearty Sunday lunch was most enticing. Masterton’s research found The Rose, a gastropub with favourable reviews on the… Read More ›
Been seen in Greens?
Yes dear friends, Greens! Why has one not told you of this marvellous eatery before? The honest truth is that one has been remiss and strayed from this one time “DL” favourite. This is a “must visit” destination for any… Read More ›
Keep the “Wolfe’s” from one’s door
Whilst meandering through olde London towne, one chanced upon Wolfe’s Bar and Grill. On a whim, one entered and partook of a dry Martini cocktail (or two). Upon departing, one decided to return another time to sample more substantial fare… Read More ›
