Skosh – York

Skosh – sounds a bit like a weapon someone would have used in the olden days. “He was clobbered to death with a skosh.” I don’t know the origins of the name of this restaurant, but I’m sure if you Google it you’ll probably find out. What I do know is this was my favouriteContinue reading “Skosh – York”

Roots – York

Tommy Banks, sounds a bit like cockney rhyming slang doesn’t it? “I’m just popping to the allotment for a Tommy Banks.” There was, fortunately, no masturbating during my visit to Roots, mainly because Tommy wasn’t there. Full disclosure: I actually booked this meal because I’d been reliably informed it was owned by England cricket captain,Continue reading “Roots – York”

Rattle Owl – York

The grand old Duke of York, what an indecisive bastard. Not like me, I’m mega decisive. How decisive exactly? Well, take this for example: My lady wife spent her 30th birthday in Lockdown uno, and her 31st in lockdown tres, so I DECIDED to take her away for the weekend once we were vacc’ed upContinue reading “Rattle Owl – York”

BrasilPortu – Bearwood, Birmingham

Bearwood High Street? More like Beerwood High Street! You see, it now has a craft beer place on it so it’s officially allowed to be called a high street rather than just a road. Congratulations! It was outside this craft beer place while sinking a couple of juicy pints that I started talking to aContinue reading “BrasilPortu – Bearwood, Birmingham”

Bad pints

With pubs flinging their doors open on whatever they can feasibly describe as a ‘garden’ we’re finally allowed to nail lovely pints like the absolute chug lords we are. Hooray! I’ve seen lots of social media noise over the last few days of people competing to show whether they’re more excited about pubs or gymsContinue reading “Bad pints”

The end of food…

ieboys.com? The last year has taught us many things, like how much the British public enjoy fetishizing war veterans, that it’s impossible to buy too much toilet paper and that you don’t need to be sat in an office five days a week to be capable of sending emails. One of the eye-openers for me,Continue reading “The end of food…”

Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 8

There are four of them again! Hooray! Here comes the slow motion walk to the studio, and these are the headlines: • Jahdre got 3 hours sleep. • Joe thinks he can go all the way. • Luke is nervous. Again, imagine not getting chosen to do that bit because what you said was dullerContinue reading “Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 8”

Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 7

I feel sorry for the three blokes who took part in this episode, not just because for large parts of it they weren’t very good, but because everyone watching was more interested in what happened to the fourth contestant who was subsequently edited out. The start of the show told us: ‘this programme has beenContinue reading “Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 7”
