Ok, I only managed to be a vegetarian for a week of my life after witnessing a pair of wild rabbits being slung on to my bench in the kitchen I was chef-ing in. And that week ended with a Turkish kebab on holiday visiting my parents in Qatar. I have complete understanding for vegetarianism …
Were all saddened by the loss of Pye bakery. I especially loved their café on Dereham Road, with a staggering 40 or so cakes, pastry’s, bakes and tarts to choose from. OH Those incredible sarnies, like their buttermilk chicken or their burger with blue. But it’s gone now – – and if that wasn’t bad …
I had a great time looking around the Adnams brewery in Southwold. Yes, it’s in Suffolk and I’m all about Norfolk, but between you and me I’m actually from Suffolk, my daughter was conceived in Suffolk (don’t tell her), I was married in Suffolk (yes in that order!) and if it’s all about food – …

The last Wine bar had a little bit of trouble a while back, a closure was on the line after 29 years but luckily 4 friends got together to take it over, all of which were fans and regulars wanting to keep its essence. The building originally was a shoe factory and still stands proud …
When you get asked to be a judge for the Norfolk Food and Drink awards, you don’t say no. I was so delighted to be chosen – it’s often the more out there faces that get picked. I’m like a little stelf bomber always on the outskirts working for myself just below the radar. But …
