Nadu, Stokes Croft, Bristol review
On November 15, 2021 by The Plate Licked CleanTo describe dinner at Nadu as mixed would give the wrong impression, perhaps. There were many good things to eat, some very good indeed, some just a tweak away from truly outstanding. Which in its own way was frustrating.

Squeezed, Bristol

On November 3, 2017 by The Plate Licked CleanThings didn’t go smoothly, exactly, at The Cauldron. They had managed to overlook the email I had sent them a couple of days before our arrival, so were unprepared for our little girl to accompany us. Consequently the available table was cramped, uncomfortably positioned, rickety and my back was at the mercy of a door
