HELLO, It’s been a while. 2023 was an odd year – I’m just going to leave that there on account that I am in no way ready to unpack any of it, certainly not publicly. I guess what I’m trying to say here is, there’s been not much by way of updates to this website […]
Hello! A quick one from me today – no review as such but a bit of news on the kebab front: Der Berliner is no more, and Döner Haus is shortly to be no more. Der Berliner, which opened (as a soft launch) in March, is to be replaced by Apostel, which opens this weekend, […]
Hello Hi Yes, Well, this was an odd one. The tl;dr here is that this here restaurant (pictured above) is indeed very good – for reasons that I will go on to explain in due course. The experience… well, I’m confused. In a good way! But confused. Last night, as I was returning home on […]
(Part 1 – David Cox Butchers in Bridgeton – is here) HOO! So, I did a post about David Cox Butchers back in July (on the 13th to be precise), about their rather splendid kebab pies, and I finished by saying that I would follow up with another post about where to get pre-baked, warm, […]

Hello! Let’s get down to business: I’ve not really got a lot to say in terms of the usual whimsical pre-amble, mainly cos there isn’t one. I did consider a musical intro by way changing the words of, say, The Real Me by The Who, or possibly The Real Thing by Tony Di Bart, to […]
Hello! I do wish this was some kind of delayed April Fools joke, or at the very least a fever dream of some sort, but it’s not. You can now get kebabs, of a sort, in Wetherspoons. They look like this: Now, full disclosure: if you’re reading this somewhere south of Preston, you’re in luck! […]
Hello there! Today’s journey takes us on a trip not just to a kebab shop in the suburbs, but also a metaphorical journey into how places enter my consciousness in the first instance! You see, there is only so much you can write on any given subject, and the longer this blog runs, the fewer […]
