In 2010 Jamie and I went to Padstow for the first time together. It was our first time camping together. We packed up the two-man tent that we'd bought for the occasion, made plans for fish and chips on the harbour wall, and imagined romantic...

If you're a longstanding reader of this blog, you'll know I love The Cross in Kenilworth. Not only is the food excellent, but they've created a wonderfully casual atmosphere that you don't always get in somewhere with a Michelin star....
