We were pleased to check out St Leger Bistro-by-the-Bar during our stay at the beautiful Ye Olde Bell in Retford recently. The food at the hotel and spa has been awarded an AA Rosette, and it’s obvious why once you sit down to eat.
The Herb Garden Brasserie offers Ye Olde Bell’s famous AA Rosette dining for spa guests. Chefs draw inspiration from across the three counties of Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, which border the hotel, to ensure a flavoursome and exciting menu.
Expanding the LOCI family of neighbourhood pubs in north west London, The William in Kensal Rise is the most recent addition. We at Vada popped in for a festive mid-week dinner and catch-up.
We visit the new addition to the Coupette family: Atelier Coupette in London’s Soho, where everything is served in miniature and there is a constant experimentation with flavour. If that sounds a bit too whimsical read on to understand exactly what we mean.
How do you balance tight budgets for Christmas, providing quality food that will impress, and also doing this in a way that supports the environment? Having recently visited Paxton & Whitfield, we suggest offering to bring the cheese to your Christmas dinner, and these cheese hamper options ensure your buying power goes to supporting regenerative farming practices.
