Yoxman returns in 2024

It’s that time of year again for the epicurean treat of Yoxman. Those of you who don’t know what Yoxman is about, read on.

Following previous sell out events over the past two years, Yoxman, a one-of-a-kind event promises to deliver a gastronomic four-day treat. Essentially, it’s a long weekend with top chefs delivering Michelin-star dining experiences.

The event takes place at the amazing Wilderness Reserve in Suffolk. Set against the stunning backdrop of the 8,000-acre estate, the culinary extravaganza showcases exceptional food, drinks and entertainment hosted by six of the UK’s most acclaimed chefs, who have amassed 10 Michelin stars between them. Examples of the chefs that have cooked at Yoxman include Tom Aikens (Muse), consistently tipped as one of the hottest and most talented chefs today having been awarded two Michelin-stars by the age of 26; Raymond BlancOBE (Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons), who is acknowledged as one of the finest chefs in the world, and singled out with both an OBE from Britain and the equivalent of a knighthood from France; and Alex Dilling (Alex Dilling at Hotel Café Royal),…

Wines to enjoy and impress this Christmas

A lot of emphasis is put in the food we eat in the festive season.

French exuberance in the heart of The City

Success goes with caviar as strawberries go with cream, Caribbean sun with piña coladas, and gin with tonic.

Located within the 5-star Threadneedles Hotel (part […]

The French classic Londoners can’t resist

Although a lot has changed in Soho since L’Escargot opened its doors back in 1927, what has remained constant during almost a century is the high quality of the food, the charm of the staff, and the fascination Londoners have felt for it, decade after decade, for nearly a century. The history of the restaurant […]

Intercontinental Cascais-Estoril, Portugal

Restoring local flavour to the Milford Haven Waterway

Food is social glue. It connects us across customs and cultures, just as it has Andy Woolmer of Pembrokeshire Oysters and Jonathan Williams at Café Môr. Together, they’re restoring local flavour to the fishing village of Angle.  I visited them a couple of months ago, to understand why customers drive hundreds of miles to eat […]

Exquisite luxury in the heart of London

Over a century ago, two immigrant Armenian brothers opened in Paris their first shop at 18 boulevard de La Tour-Maubourg, selling caviar. A few decades later, they had established themselves as the purveyors of the finest caviar and other Russian specialties, such as Chatka crabs and vodkas. By the 1990s, they had incorporated smoked fish, […]

Whiskies from home and afar

A few years ago, it seemed that whisky (or whiskey, I leave it up to you) had lost favour with the public and was only consumed in rarefied circles by rarefied people. But the fact is that nothing could be further from the truth. In the UK, we love whisky and we drink it with […]
