If you’re an oyster fan you’ll probably be aware of the classic matches - Champagne, Chablis and Guinness among them. But there are some good alternatives you may not have thought of.

The Belgians take their charcuterie seriously down to an entire section in the supermarket. Fun to make a charcuterie board back where we’re staying. (So much cheese we had to put that on a separate board!) Also great mustard (and great chocolate, waffles and beer obvs) #charcuterie #paté #ham #salami #waterlooGlorious meringue mountain at @auxmerveilleuxdefred_brussels.Absolutely cracking birthday lunch @quince_westgate yesterday. . Cured Chalk Stream trout with cucumber dressing and trout roe . . Skate with bouillabaisse sauce and smoked prawns . . And basque cheesecake with summer berries All washed down with a couple of glasses of Albariño . Great little neighbourhood restaurant on the Kent coast. A real find. #curedtrout #skate #basquecheesecake #westgateonsea #birthdayweekendFried feta with honey and chilli @toklas_london which we mistakenly ordered to share between three of us. You really need 3 of your own. (They’re not quite as big as they look - I went in close to grab the pic!). Drank a glass of @filipa_pato Dinamica white Bairrada from Portugal with it if you were wondering which went perfectly. Just a touch of tropical fruit which offset the sweetness of the honey.
