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. I have made it my mission to prove them wrong. Sadly, no matter how much I exercise there is very little chance of…

http://www.midnightbell.co.uk I have visited a few establishments since the lifting of lockdown but they were places I did not know so, as far as I was concerned, the lack of other diners might have been the norm for the time of day when I called.

https://www.thewhitehallleeds.com/ The last time I ate in Whitehall it was 2003 at the Banqueting House in the London thoroughfare of that name at a function where the guest of honour was HRH the Duchess of Gloucester.
