“A Tin of Sardines, Two Eggs, and a Dream: How I Curry-ied On Regardless” Let’s face it—there comes a point in every home cook’s life when dinner is less MasterChef and more Ready, Steady, What’s-In-The-Cupboard? That moment struck me squarely between the eyebrows one sunny Saturday morning, when my culinary arsenal amounted to: one lonely…

We had a lunch date lined up with friends at The Crown in Rolleston, Nottinghamshire — and we were pretty excited. The last time we visited (back when it was called The Vineyard and served unexpectedly brilliant tapas), the food had been a total triumph. Now, under new management, The Crown has gone back to…

Mrs. Wanderer and I popped into the Red Lion in Redbourne, Lincolnshire for a cheeky Good Friday lunch—one of our favourite local spots. The place was buzzing (no surprise on a holiday!), and although we hadn’t booked, we slipped in behind another unbooked couple. Our young waitress looked momentarily startled (think “rabbit in headlights”), but…

The Beverley branch of Mowgli, the Indian street food restaurant chain owned and run by Nisha Katona, opened earlier this year and we had been keen to try it for some time. I went online and was surprised that there was availability on Saturday lunchtime at 1pm especially as that is market day and the…

We decided to pop over to the Sun Inn at Everton for a spot of lunch to celebrate a birthday. Usually we have a 5 star excellent experience there but were somewhat let down today. Normally I focus on my meal when writing a review but on this occasion it will be Mrs Wanderer’s offering…

It was a cold Saturday in February and our day started with hanging some light pendants in the kitchen. This turned out to be a messy, dusty job with plaster dust falling over me from the drill right from the get-go. A few arguments ensued and at 12.15, once the job had successfully been finished,…

We arrived at the Swallow Inn at 12.55pm and found the restaurant area quiet with just four tables occupied. The pub has the faded air of an ’80s working men’s club without the swirling cigarette smoke, but it seemed pleasant enough. We were shown to our table by the young female waiting staff in a…
