Eating out

Julian's Restaurant Hoylake, Wirral Apr 16 2004 THERE'S always a tingle of excitement when you go to a new restaurant for the first time; a sense of journeying into the unknown. more

Villa Jazz, Heswall Oct 31 2003 "SO, DOES it do live music, then?" It's not that he has lived a particularly sheltered life, but my eating partner has never knowingly booked a meal in a restaurant that trumpets its musical attractions. more

Gem Restaurant, Heswall Oct 3 2003 IT MAY sound like a hapless cliche to say we'd found a real gem of a place. But we have. more

The Marsh Cat Restaurant, Parkgate Sep 5 2003 THE test of a good meal when you've got a toddler as a dining companion is how much you have to clear off the floor at the end of the evening. more

Dino's Pizzeria, Chester Aug 29 2003 WHEN London's super-duper Savoy Grill closed some months back for modernisation, there was a great outcry from crusty old regulars who could not bear the thought of their favourite restaurant being vamped up. more

Foxcote Inn, Little Barrow Aug 1 2003 CLOUDS of different hues unpeeled across the slate grey sky like the layers of a celestial onion. more

Brimstage Bistro, Heswall Jun 6 2003 THE Brimstage Bistro is tucked away on a leafy road in a small row of shops near Heswall. Blink, and you'll miss it. But although it can't possibly attract much passing trade, on a Saturday night the place was full of diners. more

Sonargaon Balti House, Neston May 30 2003 THE ever-so-well-travelled American writer Bill Bryson said that restaurants that published pictures of food on their menus should be avoided. more

Crabwall Manor, Chester Apr 25 2003 THERE is a scene in the critically acclaimed film The Rules of Attraction where one of the dissolute, spoilt twenty-something characters turns to another and sighs: "We're a generation that can't feel any more." more

Churtons, Rossett Apr 17 2003 CHURTONS, in Rossett, must appeal to the Cheshire set. This wine bar, near Wrexham, is a little cross-border foray into Wales for the huntin', fishin', shootin' set. more

The Bunbury Arms, Little Stanney Apr 4 2003 "WHERE have you been hiding all this time?" asked the waitress. more

Villa Venezia, Tranmere Mar 3 2003 After dusk, barely an hour later, the moon had risen, and in a peculiar parallel to the previous scene it appeared the colour of burnt orange. A more studied examination led to the conclusion that the phosphorent lights of the city had created some kind of reflection or perhaps optical illusion. more

The Olive Grove, Heswall THIS is the time of year when I start to think about holidays, dreaming of days lounging on a sun-drenched beach in the Med. more

Ego Restaurant, Heswall, Wirral THE taste of a truly memorable banquet in Shanghai, enjoyed a decade ago with my chum Ben Chapman, when we were larking around on a jolly diplomatic spree, sprang to mind as we both ordered extra chilli sauce for the sautéed calamari at dinner in Heswall the other week. more

The Twelfth Man, Greasby, Wirral I WASN'T exactly bowled over by the Twelfth Man, an old cricketers' pub near Upton's ground. Maybe we had caught it on a bad night. more

The Black Dog, Chester THE first time we ever set foot in The Black Dog in Waverton was something of a disappointment. more

Kings Gap Court Hotel, Hoylake PERSONAL service. Two simple words that appear to have lost their meaning in some establishments these days. Whatever happened to courtesy and a smile? more

Telford's Warehouse, Tower Wharf, Chester WE ALWAYS knew it would be different. "Have you got a ticket for tonight?" asked the bouncer as we arrived at Telford's Warehouse in Chester. more

Ruan Orchid, Chester NOT so long ago, eating Oriental was less an adventure, more take-it-or-leave it Chinese. To most, exotic eating probably extended no further than opening a tin of macaroni cheese or carefully reconstituting a Vesta dried curry. more

The Cowshed Restaurant, Raby, Wirral THERE were concerned, if not frightened, glances from fellow diners as I sprang up from my chair and started to flap my arms around like a distressed hen. more
