I had just read it before looking in here too.
"Billy Boyter had previously been the chef-patron at the Cellar in nearby Anstruther, where he had won numerous awards, including a Michelin star,..".

You can only serve what the clientele demands but I hope this chap's enthusiasm and reputation don't become a faded memory.

Some of the worst food I’ve ever had has been at golf clubs. My parents were avid golfers, as is my BF who doesn’t rate the food at hers in MK either.

I'd tend to agree re food at golf clubs but I've had lunch a few times at Dundonald links and it's really good. I've not been at night but know folk that have and really enjoyed it. None of us are golfers lol! https://dundonaldlinks.com/the-canny-crow-restaurant/

OH read about this enterprise in the New York Times - I must say I didn't catch it over here https://homekitchenlondon.org/ourmission

(This is the link, but I think it will probably be paywalled https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/01/worl ... eless.html)

OH ate at that restaurant earlier this year. He feels it is mainly geared to American diners and only one of his group of four was happy with their food. They complained and didn’t have to pay for everything they ordered. Outcome: never again, and they are regulars to St Andrews so custom has been lost.

WG - I hope Billy Boyter runs back to Anstruther fast!

KC - good to read, lots more of that kind of enterprise is needed, especially the sort which cuts through red tape where individuals stumble.

I looked at the Primrose Hill menu link (it's within striking distance of the Mousehole) £65 for lunch, £130 for two...I'm not quite in that income bracket alas.

Looks delicious!

No. I don’t get it either.

The NYT article mentioned a £35 set menu - yes, I think that £65 one is a "tasting" menu ... a shame the website would appear to be inaccurate

[Earthmaiden]

Are you sure the website is incorrect? I think it's just a confusing website and lunch can be had for £35.

Of course, £35 is more than many can afford to spend on lunch (though the few people I've known who lived in Primrose Hill could probably manage it from time to time) but by treating the potential chefs seriously with a reasonably high starting bar must guarantee some commitment from those taking up the opportunity.

Flygerian recipes.

Fusion food just keeps on fusing ...

There was a feature about the Home Kitchen on this morning's BBC London News (tv version). The website is unusable as far as I'm concerned

Flygerian is fine, but that shawarma looks as if it might have a condiment too many for my taste, seems like the sort of thing Big Zuu might come up with (his heritage is Lebanese and Sierra Leonean)
