Looking forward to it sir. Oldies, maybe One Pico and do you think it will ever get a star. Your view on the new Leinster hotel restaurant as well would be good.
Hi Joe Thank you so much! One of my last reviews in the Mail was One Pico and I thought it was very good indeed. Food maybe a little over-ambitious but certainly heading for stellar recognition. Can I face the Vongerichten place? I might need a sponsor first....
Thank you for your kind wishes, greatly appreciated. I'm quite a fan of beef cheeks as I like to slow-cook cheap cuts like these; they have brilliant flavour when given time. The only problem is that cheap cuts that are fashionable don't stay cheap!
Badly missed Mr Gill. He could write about anything and write beautifully and make it interesting. Best of luck with the reviews.
So much missed! Many thanks, Philip.

Best of luck with this new bend in the river.
Interested to get your take on the trend to serve ‘tender beef cheeks’ and the like.
I used to work as a butcher boy in the 1970’s and beef cheeks were seen as barely digestible.
Is this latest trend something worthy or a frivolous affectation? I have an open mind about it. It just raises one of my eyebrows - that’s all.
