The Hand & Flowers

Celebrating my husband’s birthday at The Hand and Flowers, the acclaimed Tom Kerridge restaurant, was an adventure in culinary excellence, even for a dedicated vegan like me. Known for its meat-centric dishes, I was pleasantly surprised by their dedicated vegan set menu, showing that their commitment to quality extends to all dietary preferences. My eveningContinue reading “The Hand & Flowers”

The Ivy is not pretentious, it is classy.  It is obvious the staff are trainedContinue reading “The Ivy Marlow Garden & The Ivy Cafe Blackeath”
