Restaurant Reviews
The Yew Tree at Highclere
A relaxed evening and good conversation in front of a roaring fire – what more could one want when the weather turns? Add a splendid feast followed by a restful night’s sleep and you have the recipe for our visit to The Yew Tree at Highclere.
‘Mezing’ around in Wendover
What is meze? I didn’t know until I went to Crumbs Coffee & Sandwich Bar in Wendover High Street and learnt that meze is, like tapas, a selection of appetisers or small dishes that can be hot or cold, spicy or savoury.
By George, that went down well
It’s a possibly odd place to start, but driving home from The Dundas Arms at Kintbury, husband Steve and I agreed that this is the most fascinating country pub we’ve ever been to, and that we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
Review: The Grouse & Ale, Lane End
When we walked into the warm and welcoming Grouse & Ale it was instantly clear that this is a thriving hostelry. The clientele, a good mix of residents enjoying their local pub, and visitors like us seeking a decent lunch, were equalled by a crowd of dapper gents in suits.
Light and lovely
So you don't want to be weighed down by lunch – but still appreciate a delicious little feast
Events
Glamorous and exciting… it can only be Ascot
A bit of inside gen: If you haven’t visited Ascot since the huge redevelopment between 2004 and 2006 and marvelled at the stunning new grandstand, well shame on you! Make sure you’re one of the 500,000 who attend this year (that’s a whopping 10 per cent of all UK racegoers). There are two tracks, allowing for both flat and jump meetings.
