The Food Festival Ghost Town
We knew that eventually something would go comically wrong. As with any new business there are hundreds of things which, at any given moment, could suddenly jump out and start being a nuisance. Many are covered in the epic health & safety and food hygiene guidance...
Vintage Crockery
I don't know why people don't still do gilt edges on things. It was such a wonderful way of adding classiness without getting all Argos about it. These days with vintage crockery on the rise perhaps it will be given a new lease of life, in which case I think it should...
Tasting the Toasties
I have been talking round the subject of toasties for quite some time, and we have recently finally acquired the means to make them happen and have set about making them great. The first step, as is the tradition, is the tasting. It's been the cornerstone of...
Everything Looks Better on a Cake Stand
I am beginning to come to the conclusion that everything looks better on a cake stand. I'll leave you to contemplate that while I explain what led me to this profound realisation. Eagle-eyed readers, or more likely those in possession of pictures that did not have to...
Because Leamington Spa Needs a Space Station
Leamington is not actually our home town, but rather a place that has adopted both of us as part of a north/south compromise. But we have been here for 6 years now and the Beast has grown up here, so we couldn’t possibly pull him away from all his friends. What's more...

The Small Business Holiday
We have spent the last two weeks in Cuba celebrating the fortuitous timing of two people, a registry office, some of our very dearest friends and an enormous amount of cheese. Having arranged for all the above to be in the right place at the right time we felt that a...
Catering All Over Warwickshire and the Rest of the World
As I write this the wedding is going to happen, and the rain is still set to come down, but by the time you read this, we will presumably have been hitched and will be taking a break from Jabberwockys, weddings, work and most other things. I will go ahead and assume...
Rain
