There’s nothing better than a good glass of vino and nothing worse than a disappointing one. I can sometimes be wary of ordering wine in bars for this reason. When my heart is longing for a crisp, tangy glass I have to go to one of my few handpicked venues that I know won’t fail […]

Do we even need gastro pubs anymore, I wondered? Have we moved away from this kind of dining? We initially fell hard for the idea when it first […]

Grey, the man and Liath (Grey), the restaurant are initially, to my mind, at odds. Chef, Damian Grey is all swagger and bombast, while his tiny, sleek dining room and tiny, quiet, concentrated kitchen feel like meditative spaces.
