Dinner a while ago @handfmarlow ⭐️ ⭐️The Hand and Flowers in Marlow where a steak & chips will set you back an eye watering £50.50 plus service charge. I think the cheapest main course on the menu was nearly 40 quid for the pork belly, so it’s certainly not for the faint of heart in terms of price point.
It was an enjoyable meal but I struggle to see how the guide Michelin @michelinguide can justify giving this pub restaurant two stars.
I don’t want to come across too negative, especially at a time when the hospitality sector is in serious trouble, so I would say that if this was a 1⭐️ with a less punchy price point then I would certainly recommend it. .

While walking the Camino del Norte over Christmas and New Year I was incredibly lucky to have a few Spanish friends following my progress. They would regularly message me to say that I would be arriving in a particular town or village in a couple of days and recommending/insisting that I eat at a particular restaurant. Even booking them for me on occasion. The @michelinguide , @theworlds50best and @oadtop100 are all great resources (among many others) for hunting down great restaurants, but you can’t beat local knowledge. And that is why I ended up at ⭐️ @realbalneario Real Balneario, a beautiful restaurant on the beach in Salinas. As with most of the restaurants I visited in Asturias along the coast the emphasis was on seafood and traditional preparations. Cocochas of course with pilpil sauce, hake, local anchovies and goose barnacles were the highlights here. I went for dinner but I would recommend going for lunch to fully appreciate the view of the sea, which comes right up to your table if you are there at high tide. .

Reminiscing about happier times again and a terrific meal back in January while I was walking the Camino in Spain at ⭐️ El Retiro in the town of Llanes. Chef @ricardosotres1 Ricardo Sotres creates dishes that are firmly rooted in the region, with traditional plates expertly prepared sitting comfortably alongside more modern and technically innovative offerings. I hope that they can weather this particular storm as I would love to revisit next time I am in the area.

Another visit a few weeks ago to @edoardopellicano ‘s communal table restaurant @maos.bluemountainschool Mãos in Shoreditch, London. Described as a ‘kitchen, table and wine room’, they serve a 17 course tasting menu to the 16 guests sat at the communal table. The meal starts off in the kitchen where drinks and snacks are served before moving through to the dining room which has an adjoining wine room. Before the meal started we were told that the majority of the courses could be eaten anywhere we liked, meaning that we were encouraged to get up and wander around if we wanted. We could go and chat about the wine in the wine room or, as I did, enjoy several courses standing in the kitchen and chatting to the chefs. This made for a very relaxed and fun evening.
The cooking here is exceptional and it is well worth a visit. I wish the team my best wishes and hope that they are keeping safe and will be up and running again soon

Dinner before Christmas at ⭐️⭐️ @hermanostorres in Barcelona. A pretty nice meal really, in a fantastic dining room where, in this converted industrial warehouse, the kitchen takes centre stage being surrounded on all sides by tables. I remember enjoying Dos Cielos years ago where the Torres brothers used to cook. Now on this much bigger stage they can really show off their style of cuisine which is based on cooking ‘through memories’ with dishes based on family recipes using seasonal, garden-fresh ingredients and contemporary techniques. With Joan Roca on the table to my right and probably Spain’s most respected restaurant critic Jose Carlos Capel on the table to my left, it was no surprise that the service was impeccable. Worth a look when in Barcelona

Thinking back to happier times. Lunch a while ago at @bocca_di_lupo in London. This is my kind of place, a bustling counter where the food is honest and most importantly tasty. Since 2008 Bocca Di Lupo has been turning out regional Italian cuisine and is a humble trattoria at it’s heart. With an emphasis on top quality seasonal produce everything here is made in-house from the bread, gelati, sausages, salami, pickles, mostarda and of course the pasta. My recommendation is to do as I did and grab a seat at the end of the counter by the pass and just check out what’s coming out and if it looks tasty (which all of it does) then simply point and order. Who needs a menu 🤷🏼♂️
