Fourth & Church for me, provided I can persuade somebody.

Have you got reservations for all of those already?
Yes, but all done by bypassing the normal methods (I eventually got Harumi-san's mobile number - only taken me 4 years!).

Smart, smart move. It will be wonderful, for all sorts of reasons.

Got a lazy pizza delivery for dinner last night as it was ****ing hot and Uber had 2 for 1 on pizzas from Rustico at Fiveways which meant it was just as cheap at getting one from a shop. I've not used this place before as it's one of those places where you already know what their food will be like before you eat it and this was confirmed. Pretty bland, too doughy and not even an easy win of some dried oregano or something on the margherita. The house salad was some supermarket leaves turned over in a light dressing for 2.50. All in all it did a job one the day but wouldn't recommend unless it's thirty degrees and you want two pizzas and a salad to your door for 11 quid.

Bollocks just realised I've missed the boat on todays Kitgum Foghorn delivery.

Yeah the cut off was last night here. They just changed the menu again, which they are doing every two/three weeks.
We really like everything to be honest, but mostly stick to the veggie dishes, their mung bean dal (Moong Dal and Spinach Shaak) is particularly good though so get that for sure.

I’m off to CookiesCream next Friday. I’ve been before, about 10 years ago, but when it was a night club. The owner, and Berlin scenster, decided he’d had enough of discos (he got older) and turned the venue into a vegetarian restaurant. A few years later he earned a Michelin star. Whilst a hand-wringing Guardian reader and moral high-ground occupier, I’m not a vegetarian. I am not averse to plant based plates but I don’t usually go looking for it either...especially not in higher-end establishments. A friend has invited me; I go open minded. I’ve been assured it’s not all natural wines.

Why oh why oh why?
Perhaps take some pocket meats with you, just in case?
Perhaps take some wine with you too, just in case? And some wine glasses, in case they're overly influenced by St John?
**** me - is there a phrase currently in use that is more wanky than "plant based"?
I ask as a vegetarian of nearly 30 years.

Wondering through the city centre this morning for the first time in a while, not much has changed as yet. Carluccios is now or very soon to be a Five Guy , and there is a new restaurant in East Street called Kindling -- anyone know anything about it?
Good shouts. As it’s a vegetarian restaurant I guess they will run a million miles from the bollocks (literally and metaphorically) they serve up at St John but I get your point regarding the glasses.
Maybe I should take some iron supplement tablets as well?
It’s peak-****. But also part of a broader re-branding/re-positioning of the non-meat diet which as emerged.
I checked out the restaurant after you posted that - it looks interesting and I'll be keen to hear your review.
However, it's not plant-based as they include eggs and dairy on their menu
I'd even question whether it's vegetarian as one dish includes parmesan, which contains calf rennet, although they'd do about that, so perhaps it's a similar veggie-friendly Italian hard cheese.
Maybe meat-free is a better description then. I must admit I lazily used “plant based plates” more for its cadence than its gastronomical accuracy. I shall report back. I don’t naturally gravitate towards meat-free establishments but the last one I went to, Wild Beets which is owned by a friend of [MENTION=5001]The Merry Prankster[/MENTION] blew me away. It was a distance from where I was staying but I was so impressed, and intrigued by the menu, I shoe-horned in a second visit. If this place is half as good I’ll enjoy myself.
