Impala, Soho

from Cheese and Biscuits [alt+shift+b] in travel

2 weeks ago
If you know what to look for, you can work out the restaurant lineage of Impala just from a quick scan of the menu. Firstly, and most importantly, you want to try every last item - a feat frustratingly unavailable unless you're eating with at least ten of your friends. Between...

Kismet, Borough Market

from Cheese and Biscuits [alt+shift+b] in travel

17th Aug 2026
Every new generation of Londoner has to go through the phase of being bewildered and bedazzled by the various lavish stalls and speciality producers at Borough Market, shell out a small fortune for a selection of wildly unrelated items they're entirely unable to turn into a...

Khao Bird, Soho

from Cheese and Biscuits [alt+shift+b] in travel

27th Jul 2026
Before I was able to assess the authenticity or otherwise of the food at Khao Bird, I could at least appreciate the ambient temperatures in the dining hall were at genuine Thai levels. It's not really their fault that we visited during one of the hottest day's of London's...

Can Koya, L'Escala

from Cheese and Biscuits [alt+shift+b] in travel

4th Jun 2026
I'm acutely aware that a review of a (hitherto) obscure restaurant in a small town in Spain isn't going to be one of my most read posts of the year. Back in the days when I was doing 6 or 7 posts a month, slipping the odd leftfield location in now and again just made things a bit...

The Highland Laddie, Leeds

from Cheese and Biscuits [alt+shift+b] in travel

19th May 2026
At first, you can't quite believe what you're seeing. Right in the middle of a cluster of modern high-rises, behind a large neon-lit casino and steps away from a giant ugly motorway junction, is a beautiful little brick-built pub that seemingly has no business being there. How...

Willy's, Margate

from Cheese and Biscuits [alt+shift+b] in travel

7th Apr 2026
I have often come across menus that read better than they deliver - full of interesting ingredients and clever techniques on paper but not living up to the promise when the actual food starts appearing. This makes sense from a certain point of view - it's all very well writing...

Dover Street Counter, Mayfair

from Cheese and Biscuits [alt+shift+b] in travel

13th Mar 2026
First of all, apologies - to Dover Street Counter and readers of this blog alike - for the atrocious state of the photos in this post. What's strange is that I don't remember the lighting in the room being particularly subdued - each generously spaced table had a decent spotlight...

Bistro Sablé, Islington

from Cheese and Biscuits [alt+shift+b] in travel

23rd Feb 2026
Sablé occupies the handsome 1930s public house that, most recently at least, was home to Neil Rankin's Smokehouse. I spent many happy times in Smokehouse back in the day but such are the fickle whims and fashions of London food that, in 2026, low-n-slow American BBQ seems...

The Hart, Marylebone

from Cheese and Biscuits [alt+shift+b] in travel

2nd Jan 2026
In an ideal world this would be a post about the 'proper' upstairs restaurant at the Hart, a serious (though not by all accounts stuffy) dining room serving seasonal British food in the heart of Marylebone village. Unfortunately, due to a combination of my own lack of...

Firestarter, Liverpool Street

from Cheese and Biscuits [alt+shift+b] in travel

9th Dec 2025
It's often very difficult to stand out from the crowd in Restaurant London, especially when - as in Firestarter's case at least - you appear to be serving the same kind of live-fire, internationally-ambiguous, ingredient-led menu that began to pop up all over the place after Acme...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
