Lunch at ⭐️⭐️ Ikoyi in it’s newish location on The Strand. It always blew my mind what Jeremy and his small team could put out of the small kitchen in Ikoyi’s former location which I first visited back in 2017. It’s always been stunning and excitingly bold cooking so I wasn’t surprised that in his new, much larger open kitchen, the cooking has gone up another notch. It comes with an extremely punchy price tag of £350 (there is a £200 short lunch menu available) plus service charge and any drinks, but I think that with the quality of the cooking, and when you consider how much restaurants are struggling to find good staff, this can be forgiven. When you are competing for chefs and FOH staff against Simon Rogan and Ollie Dabbous’s 3.5 day working week then I guess you need all the money you can get to pay your staff very well. Plus of course the cost of high quality luxurious ingredients. I can’t wait to go back as this was a truly excellent meal.

Dinner in Cambridge at @midsummer_house_ Midsummer House, Daniel Clifford’s @midsummerchef two Michelin star restaurant nestled in a beautiful Victorian villa with its back to the river Cam. Delicious food. Lovely, friendly, professional but easygoing service. Not much else to say really except that you should definitely go and enjoy a meal there.

- Neil A. Chef added a new meal Dinner at Trullo at Trullo
Another visit for a quick lunch at one of my favourite casual restaurants in London, @trullo_restaurant . Their British take on Italian cooking is always delicious, and served in a relaxed and informal dining room. Recommended if you’re in London. Open 7 days a week so a good option for Sundays and Mondays when a lot of places are closed... More

Our final stop on my best of Spain tour was a surprise for my guests. A late visit to the counter of Direkte, where Arnau Muñío Ribell presides over one of my favourite dining spots in this fantastic city of food. Ferran Adrià was just finishing up his meal at the counter as we arrived, which tells you just how highly respected this kitchen is. I can’t wait to bring the tour next year to their new location. The Boquería market is a great spot but I am excited to see what the team can do with a little more space!
Please get in touch if you are interested in booking any of my tours. Spain 2025 is already filling up.

Every few years in my home town of Solihull, a chef seems to attempt a ‘fine dining’ offering in the town centre. Up until now they seem to have always fallen by the wayside. I hope that won’t be the case for @toffsbyrobpalmer ,who was responsible for gaining a Michelin star at Peels nearby at Hampton Manor, as I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch there a while ago. Indeed one of the desserts made it on to my best dishes of 2023 list 👌🏻I have been back quite recently and I’m happy to report that it continues to improve.

Our next stop on my best of Spain tour was to @theworlds50best number 1 restaurant @disfrutarbcn . Awarded the top spot just last week it is clear to see why they have reached this peak having also recently been awarded a third Michelin star. The groundbreaking food, always pushing forward with inventive but most importantly delicious ideas, together with the friendly and welcoming service style makes this one of my favourite restaurants on the planet and having watched it evolve over many visits over many years I am overjoyed to see them enjoy this success.
I arranged a surprise for my guests to eat not in the main restaurant but at our own ‘living table’ downstairs through the wine cellar and into the restaurant’s test kitchen. This was truly a highlight of the tour and I can’t wait to revisit next May on my best of Spain tour 2025
