Last week I had a fantastic meal at Yauatcha in Soho with my beautiful friend Kate. We both fancied dim sum so we headed to Broadwick Street in Soho for some 1 Michelin starred dim sum goodness. We started by ordering cocktails. I went for the Lemonberry martini – Ketel…
On Monday night I met up with my Twitter friends, Katy Riddle, Urvashi Roe and Felicity Spector for dinner at Bush Hall Dining Rooms on Uxbridge Road, Shepherds Bush. Bush Hall music rooms has recently had a massive makeover and they have managed to turn the greasy spoon next door…
On Sunday my gorgeous friend Kirsty and I had a long overdue catch up brunch at Bistroteque and what a lovely day we had! Bistroteque is tucked away in a warehouse on Wadeson Street, just off Cambridge Heath Road, Bethnal Green. You wouldn’t know it was there except for the…
Last weekend was a heavy one. I was at a fantastic wedding on Saturday and on Sunday I celebrated my birthday with drinks at the Boundary Rooftop. I had a wonderful afternoon surrounded by friends and a LOT of wine. Knowing that I would be drinking a lot over the…
For the last few weeks I have been hearing great reports about Dishoom, ‘a Bombay café in London’. My friend Sal has been several times recently and raves about it each time. The more she talked about it, the more I wanted to try it out for myself. Earlier this…
Just a quickie but I thought I would mention that I went to Balthazar for breakfast on Thursday morning and it was lovely. There have been so many negative reviews of Balthazar since it opened in London a couple of months ago, that it actually put me off wanting to…

Last Valentine’s Day, my beautiful, funny, intelligent and simply wonderful single girlfriends and I met up at the Sebright Arms in Hackney for some Lucky Chip action. It was so much fun, we decided to meet up again this Valentine’s Day. Yes we’re all still single, we can’t understand it…
Last week I met my lovely friend Claire for a long-overdue catch up. She wanted to meet somewhere central, near a tube station and not too expensive, so I suggested Brasserie Zédel, a new French restaurant in Piccadilly Circus. Brasserie Zédel is the brainwave from Jeremy King and Chris Corbin,…
I walk through Soho nearly every day and I’m used to the many restaurants and bars I see all the time. However, a few weeks ago I was walking down Brewer Street at night and was immediately struck by Bill’s, a new addition to Soho which took the space previously filled…
Yesterday I had the best afternoon. I caught up with my favourite boys, Paul and Heath, who are just back from their honeymoon. They live in London Bridge so we decided to go to Brindisa for something to eat. I love Brindisa but its been ages since I eaten there…
