When I was young we used to go to a place called Pizza Land for birthdays and other special occasions. They had a pizza, which I would probably hate now, but I used to love then; Fish and Chip pizza. It was probably the most stupid concept for a pizza since Heinz’s failed attempt at [...]
When you are on tour, its always nice to eat in new places that you may never have heard of before, but sometimes its good to know what you’re getting. After several failed attempts at finding food we happened across a Wetherspoons in Dundee called The Counting House. It was pretty busy and didn’t have [...]
We have friends in the Aberdeen area and they had promised to take us to a cracking restaurant for lunch. We went to Carmine’s and ended up sitting in, what felt like, the front room. We seemed to take up the entire room and everyone else having lunch was on first name terms with the [...]
Coming from Somerset I seem to have a fondness for Cream Teas. When I was 15 we went on holiday to Woolacombe in North Devon. There I decided that when I got old/ rich etc. I would go round the country reviewing cream teas. Mama Campesinos! pointed out that I didn’t like Tea so how [...]
So as many of you had suggested Egg we went to it last night. Gareth and Kim had been to it earlier and had come back praising it. There was a nice amount of choice. I went for the Dahl and opted for half rice, half salad. When it appeared it was a massive plate [...]
Tonights catering was in Yales Café Bar attached to the Central Station. I opted to go for the pasta, which comprised roasted Mediterranean vegetables in a spicy sauce and garlic bread. Some of the vegetables hadn’t really been roasted. The pepper and tomato was still pretty much raw and despite it providing a nice contrasting [...]
So i’ve been expanding my vocabulary over the past few months. I’ve been avidly reading Nigel Slater’s Food Column in the Sunday Observer to see what sexy and salivating words he uses. For anyone who doesn’t know who he is, he is the greatest food writer ever. So if you want to suggest somewhere; not [...]
The Joiners is on an odd street. There seems to be a large amount of take aways on the street considering its size, and as the only establishments that warrant take aways are few on the street it seems quite odd. We ended up in Hudsons. We had aimed to go to a Chinese but [...]
So we were told that the venue had in house catering. What actually happened was that they ordered food in for us. It was nice of them to do that because it meant that we didn’t have to go and find anything, but this meant our choice was limited. We had food from a place [...]
So the food reviews are back, and this time we have the chance to savour the delights of the UK. Suggestions for places that are close to the venues would be much appreciated. And I mean close, not places that a 30 minute drive away. Here’s a reminder of where we are playing. 21st Oct [...]
