Dutchie and Grill. Lakenheath Featured

Written by

Always the best, authentic Caribbean food and in typical West Indian style not always the full menu available. But if you go on Nyammings Night (Thurs 5-10pm) you get all you can eat for about £20 which always includes delicious dishes like this curry goat, Johny Cakes and plantains.

Levi Roots goes into Crisps

Written by

Mr Roots was there himself handing out his new range of crisps and fizzy drinks at Notting Hill Carnival. I can say I tasted both and they were really good, but he really wanted me to tell you about his new cd.

Gilbert and George

Written by

It's a well known secret that Gilbert and George go to the same kebab house in London at least five times a week to eat supper. They have been there two out of the three times I have been recently with arty friends who I want to surprise and impress. Apparently they don't have a kitchen at home so they couldn't cook even if they wanted to. The question is, is it an Installation or not? Whatever it is, the kebabs are cooked on the traditional Mangal open-fire barbecue, the pide bread is freshly made and free, quail is on the menu, the meat is full of flavour and it will only cost you about £10 per head. This, and Gilbert and George, are the reasons I can no longer go to the kebab van on Station Hill after a night out in Bury.

Fresh fish - and just fish - on the Norfolk Broads

Written by

Restaurants that serve just fish with nothing at all to satisfy meat eaters are few and far between, but we LOVE them. Bure River Cottage at Horning is one of these. Inspector X has been here several times but for me it was a first and after just eating the starter - hot baked crab with chili, ginger and coconut, I wanted to be best friends with the person who cooked it. The chef Abbie and her partner Nigel at front of house after putting the children to bed upstairs, are assisted by charming young staff bringing the menu blackboards and the orders to the table. We had the hot crab, a cold dressed crab with herb mayo and a smoked mackerel pate to start. Then monkfish with salsa rosso, turbot with brown shrimps and samphire, and whole lemon sole with butter and parsley, all served with a shared selection of fresh veg and simple new potatoes. Heavenly food! The desserts were good too; white chocolate cheesecake, chocolate pot and coffee pannacotta, all with ice cream and a glass of South African straw wine to share. Dedication to the sourcing, preparing and cooking of an interesting selection of local fresh fish is a joy to behold - and there was a full restaurant on a Tuesday night beholding it here.

Lovely local Lleyn lamb

Written by

Lleyn are a Welsh breed of sheep raised by 18 year old Annie Marschalek in the Gipping Valley, Suffolk. Annie bought three sheep four years ago and now has ten ewes and one ram (called Gordon Ramsay)  Clever Gordon and his girls produced 17 lambs in April.  Annie keeps the sheep outside on grass and will be selling the meat towards the end of August.  Half and whole lambs are £8 a kg (half a lamb is about 10kg and you get 2 leg joints, 2 shoulder joints, chops and minced lamb.) This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. And there is more ... Annie's brother Jim raises pigs and her father Rolf raises Red Poll cattle. So you can buy beef too!
