Skein
Dinner / ££ / 6/10 I saw a new opening announced on Instagram and started doing my normal mental walk of the city trying to realise what Skein *used* to be. I took a look at the menu and quickly booked in for the first free night we could get a babysitter. Weeks passed and…

Destination 105 – Lady Bay
Dinner / £££ / 9/10 For months I walked past the church on Trent Boulevard – it has been a hive of activity during the day with trades and deliveries coming and going. The daytime energy was in stark contrast to evenings and weekends when the doors remained shut, lights out, no sign of life.…

The Devonshire (Soho, London)
Lunch / ££££ / 9/10 The Northerner kept mentioning The Devonshire, he had been served a couple of video reviews online and was enamoured by the menu.

Perkins Bar and Bistro, Plumtree
Lunch / £££ / 9/10 I asked my friends for a recommendation for a country lunch recently as I tend to stick with tried and tested places and one of them suggested Perkins. As soon as she said it I knew we’d go there, how could I have forgotten about it? Perkins has been a…
