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.

- Neil A. Chef added a new meal Dinner at The Cocochine at The Cocochine
Opening day at @thecocochine , after a two week soft opening period. I fell in love with this place pretty much as soon as I walked in. The attention to detail is all around you and it exudes luxury but most of all it says ´you are home and we are going to look after you´.

Opening day at @thecocochine , after a two week soft opening period. I fell in love with this place pretty much as soon as I walked in. The attention to detail is all around you and it exudes luxury but most of all it says ´you are home and we are going to look after you´.
Many have been waiting for chef @larry_jayasekara to open his own place, and with the help of the Hamiltons Gallery owner Tim Jefferies the moment has arrived.
No tasting menus here, just a skilfully prepared A La Carte offering that will change regularly, daily even. A beautiful dining room is on the ground floor, and for me there is a 7 seater counter on the first floor that looks into the 920sq ft purpose built kitchen.
Ingredients are of exceptional quality and come from all over. I ate Otoro from Tokyo, Chicken from France and many ingredients from financier Ian Wace´s Rowler Estate, and the thing that attracts me the most is that I am fairly sure I could come to this (walk-in) kitchen counter every day next week and not eat the same dish twice.
I´ll be back….alot I think.

While in Cheltenham we also visited restaurant Journey, in the town centre. We have met chef Jeff Lewis a couple of times when he was staging at Ynyshir, and it seems that the majority of Journey’s menu takes strong influence from places that Jeff has worked or visited. You will spot several dishes that are easily traceable back to his time at Ynyshir, The Fat Duck and even Disfrutar in Barcelona, although I don’t think he worked there. Even the website tagline “putting the fun into fine dining” could be argued to originate in Wales where Gareth Ward embraces “fun dining not fine dining”. I guess every chef takes influences from somewhere but this did seem like a succession of replicated dishes and presentation theatrics rather than a chef taking an idea and making it his own. I’m not sure what to feel about that. The food was pretty tasty overall apart from a couple of missteps and I guess it’s nice that Cheltenham gets another restaurant trying to operate at a higher level.
It might be interesting to see where his menu is at in 6 months or a years time and if it has moved forward with more of his own ideas. But I’ll let someone else discover that as I think the only visit I’ll be doing to Cheltenham in the future will be to revisit the excellent Champignon Sauvage.

After visiting Pine, Solstice and Riley’s Fish Shack we paid a visit to @restauranthjem , which continues to go from strength to strength. @a.nietosvuori Alex Nietosvuori and Ally have created a true destination restaurant. Well worth visiting and staying there night in one of their fabulous rooms.

Three visits to the newish @highergroundmcr in Manchester from the team behind the excellent wine shop @flawdwine . At Flawd, the chef was cooking using a sandwich toaster and a single induction hob pretty much and doing a great job. So it was nice to see the team finally unleashed in a large well equipped kitchen. Solid cooking and a welcome addition to the sparse offerings at that level in Manchester.
