Unlike some people, I can't profess to having dined in many places with a hallowed Michelin star. Jamie and I have been to a few - always as a special treat - and while we enjoy the experience, we're acutely aware that unlike some genuine food...

I think it's fair to say that a lot of people may be surprised to hear MOR Bakery & Kitchen in Stratford is still here. After all, lockdown was a challenge for even the most established of businesses, so it wouldn't be surprising if it had...
