Of course there are plenty more in the sea but when you get this quality of fish you don’t want to throw it back. A Mayfair staple for many years, going into Pescatori is like stepping into a Tuscan villa.

Cocktails and Parcels of Heaven at the court of the Courtesan, Brixton
July 29, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Many years ago there was a nascent cocktail scene in Brixton, south London. One of my ill-advised favourites was ‘riot in glass’, think tequila sunrise with added fire, followed years later by Sunday nights spent at Dogstar, the punters helping load up the tables to clear the floor for eclectic dancing.

Film Review: Great Expectations
November 15, 2012 by 1 Comment
Of course a big production like this is going to be compared to the genre-defining ‘Great Expectations’ film of David Lean over six decades ago. That was a boxy, black and white masterpiece and this is a colourful, sweeping landscapes production. Visit Englandproudly put on a preview screening with the film’s co-producer Elizabeth Karlsen at the Courthouse […]
