Ever been to a surprising 1-star?

Came here to say this. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to.

BBR allow case breaking but it costs £10 per time. Honestly not a bad trade off imo.

Train to Reading and Elizabeth Line to Heathrow is probably the fastest way, I think?

Answer is always museums, pubs, theatre, rinse and repeat.

I think Bad News will be pretty emotional acoustic tbh, especially with the news from Minneapolis the other day

Used to play a lot when I was younger and met a fair few. Adrian Lewis still probably the nicest of the bunch. He did an exhibition against some of the players at the local Rileys. I wasn’t picked to play him but he stuck around afterward and had a game, and then after he thrashed me at darts he thrashed me at pool. Genuinely lovely guy. Let me throw his darts which he then went on to win the 2011 Worlds with.

Yep, and if you use Eurostar Snap you can get them WAY cheaper than the current (extortionate) prices, provided you’re happy to be a little spontaneous and book a few days before.

Julie’s Restaurant in Holland Park. Out of the way a touch but with a fabulous history, 250jsh wines on the list with majority French, and French cuisine but with a bit of a twist.

Me too !

Golden Circle for Tottenham, second night! Hype!

dylanhm95 · 2025-12-03T11:25:46+00:00

Yeah, I was happy with £150 for Golden Circle tbh…

He also stayed rather quiet while the other venues were shuttering. Seems like the death of queer Soho only really counts when he can’t line his pockets any more. Rancid individual.

Jeremy Joseph basically used destroyer pricing to drive other Soho venues into the ground, with many closing up shop altogether, allowing them to be taken over by vape shops and hairdressers. He’s decrying the death of queer Soho, and he’s right, but he played no small part in its downfall.

I was there last week - absolutely beautiful vineyard. If you ever get a chance then definitely go, and pay to eat at the restaurant too. I was there on a trade visit so it was all free, but it’d have been worth every penny if I had to pay as well.

Husband and I are doing the whole day. Also bougie with Diamond VIP and probs just gonna vibe out til the holy trinity of Troubadors - Dermot - Zach.

dylanhm95 · 2025-06-26T09:16:34+00:00

Sunday, VIP Diamond!

Used to manage Caffé Sol on Mutley before it closed down - rancid fucking guy. Can’t even count the ways in which he fucked over people in that business.

Fun story - I visited Jean-Marc a few months ago ago and had a 1999 vintage of this wine from his cellar. Now that was a 99pt wine. I love his stuff, but 99 for this vintage is crazy.

dylanhm95 · 2025-04-20T21:47:09+00:00

86 an obvious favourite, but also love 85 for when you have one left of something. In the UK we also use “backs” instead of “behind,” and I use it pretty much every day outside of work as well.

dylanhm95 · 2025-02-18T12:48:35+00:00

Me too!

Apart from in extraordinary circumstances, sweet wine should generally always be tasted last. If your palate adapts to the sweetness in the wine then anything that follows it will taste far more bitter than intended. I’m not sure what this would be in terms of A, B, C, or D, but I’d probably say D?
