Happy New Year to you all. Another National lockdown and another pivot. Maymessy is getting good at this and, although it is frustrating closing the cookery school, we enjoy making new contacts and the reward of seeing how Oxfordshire pulls together.
I’ve always been intrigued by The Eastgate Hotel. Many a time I’ve met the team there for a meeting or had business lunches, events or client meetings, but I’d never set foot in one of the bedrooms, until recently.
Matt England is the man behind Sun Rum, the artisan Lymington-based rum producer who has spent most of his working life in the hospitality sector and decided on creating his own brand having been inspired by anothers quest in the spirits business. B4’s Richard Rosser had the pleasure of interviewing the incredibly focused and passionate owner of a brand which could well be making a splash in your lives…and quite a lot of fun in the process making some of Matt’s keynote cocktails!
During this uncertain time we want to stay available and connected to our community virtually.
The Kingham Plough has a fantastic reputation for excellent food and hospitality made famous by chef patron and Great British Menu winner, Emily Watkins. Now under the ownership of experienced hospitality operators, Matt and Katie Beamish, B4’s Richard Rosser found that Emily’s legacy was in safe hands with a wonderful night’s stay and sumptuous meal.
All too infrequently you have a culinary experience which makes a mark, which excites the taste buds and which gives you confidence that service and product are still held in the highest regard….but then being a rare occurrence is the reason these experiences are so special.
Just a three hour flight from London and a 30 minute drive, Vilamoura is a fantastic destination for a short break or a longer, more relaxing holiday. With an abundance of fantastic restaurants, beaches and leisure activities on your doorstep, it’s an unmissable destination if you’re looking for the perfect getaway.
We live in a delightful 16th century farmhouse. The doorbell rings and the mood changes. We have had a sound sensitive light system installed, and a delivery has turned the room orange.
We enjoyed a welcome break at the fabulous Hotel du Vin, a cosy retreat in the heart of Henley, snuggled alongside the banks of the River Thames.
Two of Oxford’s finest restaurants have come togerther to create, what could be the ultimate Indian restaurant in Oxford.
I hadn’t thought this one through very well had I! What was meant to be a belated 21st birthday treat for my son Ed (once a Star Wars fan, always a Star Wars fan), could have turned into a very expensive day out. However, I’d managed to book this unbelievable experience on one of only two days in the year when the shops were all shut…Easter Sunday! Genius!
