Amazing food today that the family and I got to eat in our restaurant today. January being the quieter month has some benefits!

Ah yes, the context of location would help! We are in England, Essex to be specific

2025 is a year for me and our Downham Hall business to really establish our restaurant - North Wing Restaurant - www.northwingrestaurant.com I hope I’ll publish some of our photos like this one. Duck pie with pork sausage meat. Chimneys to stop any excess liquid damaging the pastry. #restaurant

Downham Hall which is my little hotel is about to start a massive build out, ramp up for Christmas and at the same time trying to work out implications of the last budget. Hospitality is freaking right now and never felt less excited about this period

Been following the reaction to the election last week and find the gap from the election to being in post so long. Such a difference to UK and this period really doesn’t seem to help anyone.

Moving over from twitter to try this out, I am not particularly prolific posting but keen to follow interesting folk and avoid the darker side of twitter….
