Bearing in mind that for most of us, summer 2019 was a bit of a wash out, we absolutely struck lucky at the start of August with our first summer barbecue.

Seafood Si: The Salt Room, Brighton
There are no two ways about it. On a grey Wednesday lunchtime, spending fifty notes on a hot crustacean platter is pretty decadent.

The dusty corners of my memory are telling me it was first coined... Continue Reading →

I mean, really good, but despite being prawn and clam packed bundles of deliciousness for the ridiculously low price of £3.50, they still have the plastic... Continue Reading →
