https://www.almostfamousburgers.com/ It is the normal way of things that when stuff doesn’t work out the way you planned, it is a disappointment but my experience at Almost Famous in Great George Street was quite the reverse.

Home Tapped is a word I associate with pubs inside City Station rather than outside, although I haven’t been asked for spare change even there since the terminus’ refurbishment.

https://www.manahatta.co.uk/bars/greek-street Just after national lockdown in March I saw a posting on social media which said that when the restrictions are lifted we will be a hunk, a chunk or a drunk.

https://www.littlebaoboy.com/ Not for the first time, my plans for the day had gone awry and also not for the first time the disaster turned to triumph. I had chosen a venue for my review before I left home rather than winging it as is my wont, but the place I had earmarked was not really…

http://www.the-reliance.co.uk/ When I started this series four years ago I set myself some rules, most of which I have since broken. Hey, what else are rules for?
