Soho House Brighton

Nick Jones has extended his Soho House Group to Brighton but, despite an attractive decor and a terrace with parasols overlooking the Pier, I am doubtful whether it will succeed. To go there you need to be a house member which costs a mere £2,000 annually. I opted for the Friends of Soho House for [...]

A la Colthard/Haar

Whilst the gents of The Rusters were hacking round the Fairmont Course, we girls (Nancy, Alice and Daffers ) decided to explore St. Andrews and have lunch at its best restaurant Haar. The chef and owner Dean Banks from across the Tay Bay from Arbroath reached the final of Masterchef. St. Andrews [...]

Estiatorio Milos

Milos is a Greek fish restaurant at 1 Regent St which I visited for the second time on Wednesday. Like Imperial Treasure (Chinese cuisine), which is opposite, it has raised the bar of ethnic cuisine. Fresh fish is flown in daily. I ordered grilled octopus over Santorini fava  which – in my [...]

la Boheme/Glyndebourne

When I donned my Glyndebourne klobber of white tuxedo, I felt an immediate resentment towards dress code. It’s okay for the ladies who can wear an airy sleeveless dress but gentlemen’s formal wear is not designed for temperatures in the late 20s. Added to this I arrived so early that [...]

A la Colthard/restaurant wrap up

Last weekend’s visit to Sanary and Cannes on Monday meant for some visits to some fine restaurants. At Sanary we always go to the Hotel de la Tour whose signature dish is sea bass baked in salt. It’s delicious but leaves you thirsty. Mireille does not hold back on ordering and the final bill [...]

Travelling in France and a visit to Cannes

Yesterday Team Rust travelled by rail from Sanary to Cannes to where my late mother’s best friend had moved. We travelled by rail. On arrival at the station at Sanary we had been informed that, due to a strike by maintenance staff, the train would be 20 minutes late. I thought we would miss [...]

A day at Sanary sur Mer

Yesterday the group spent the day at Sanary sur Mer – a charming port town which borders on the more famous Bandol and is more or less equidistant between France’s biggest port cities of Toulon and Marseilles. It has a literary history. Aldous Huxley and Cyril Connolly lived here and during [...]

a la Colthard/la Colombe d’Or

If you did a poll of ‘favourite restaurants in the world’ I am sure the Colombe d’Or would feature high in it. It ticks every box of good food, location, ambience, fair pricing and service. Yesterday I went there with Bob’s p/a Polly who is staying with us for the Easter weekend. [...]

A la Colthard/The Wolseley

There have been many tributes to Jeremy King being shunted out of the Wolseley by majority Thai investors, The Minor Group, so allow me to add my own. Quite simply The Wolseley will not be the Wolseley without the elegant Jeremy King doing his tour of the restaurant. He has that great gift of [...]

A la Colthard/Semolina and the Pig in South Downs

Semolina was recommended to me by the greeter/manageress at my hairdresser in Brighton. Its location off London Road, north of the centre, is not the best as it’s an area known for druggies. The restaurant is small. On the night we (my guest was a spirited Aussie girl who is a party animal) we [...]
