Dinner
"You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.”
- Anthony Bourdain
I am an insufferable foodie and terminally omnivorous. Living in London, I’m also completely spoiled for choice when it comes to venues at which to indulge this passion of mine. Luckily for us, there’s nothing I love more than discovering new places and showing others old favourites.
A wonderful friend who shares this love (and has far more epicurean credentials) curated me a list of the best places to dine in London. I have diluted this list slightly with some of my picks, the aim being to cross them off as opportunity arrises.
I’m offering a 3-4 hour “Dinner Date” reduced rate for anybody who chooses to indulge with me at any venue on this list. I’m also open to other suggested venues at my discretion; if you’re taking me up on this, just let me know in the ‘message’ section of your booking form.
I promise I won’t climb on the table.
For UK Adventurers
Great Milton, Oxfordshire, England- For Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons
A manor ripe for a Mellors/Chatterley roleplay, with bonus options like cookery classes, fast cars and falconry (I do have a Zoology degree, after all.)
Marlow, Buckinghamshire, England- For The Hand and Flowers
Plus some killer pizza, cocktails and spinning discs at BRVTVS.
Scotland- For Restaurant Andrew Fairlie at The Gleneagles
Equal parts rugged Scottish landscape and 5* luxury, with some killer train journeys…
Other Recommendations: Dinner, and a few extras
…dessert, anyone?
