By Catherine O'Dolan on 01/05/2012 15:12:27
Local boy done good, Jamie Oliver, returns to his British roots with this hip new diner
with wine from Chapel Down Winery in Kent.And in keeping with Jamie’s cheeky chappie reputation, the staff are friendly. We couldn’t wait to sample the unusual homemade ice creams at £1.50 a scoop (60p for children): Marathon/Snickers Bar, Earl Grey Tea

By Catherine O'Dolan on 01/02/2011 16:51:49
