• I'd consider buying a Rolls Royce Phantom... If only it were cheaper...

  • If you can't get a table at The Fat Duck, The Hinds Head is Hestons's gastropub right across the road from the Duck. It's also a Michelin starred restaurant and much easier to get a table (even had a couple of walk-ins get a table on a Sunday for lunch when we were there), and also only 1/5th the...
