Chicken supreme with ginger and spring onions and the crispiest salt and pepper squid - 2 top notch dishes at the excellent 113 KTV in Park Street. Thanks @frankandjackdaxies for the introduction #bristol. . . . #chinesefood #chineserestaurant #chicken #saltandpeppersquid #fridaynightCouldn’t work out where I was when I woke up this morning (at 5am - bloody jetlag!) then remembered it wasn’t here. Good to be back in my own bed but missing the vineyards, the views and the sun. Thank you @winesofsouthafricauk for a truly inspiring trip. And grateful thanks to all the producers who gave up time to see us during harvest. . . . #winefarm #wine #winegrower #stellenbosch #capewinelands #presstripLast lunch in South Africa - and a really brilliant one @pierneefalamotte including one of the most creative cheese plates I’ve come across with goat cheesecake and beet ‘glass’ - a gigantic beetroot crisp. Oxheart tomato, tomato sorbet and watermelon salad (with little deep-fried cheesy balls) also sublime. #guest. . . . #tomato #watermelon #salad #cheesecake #beetroot #cheeseplate #pierneefalamotte #franschhoek #sawine #latergramAmazing day exploring some of South Africa’s oldest vineyards with @andremorgenthal of @oldvineproject. This is an old Chenin vineyard in Wellington Johan Kruger is using to make wine for @nakedwines and which has saved the vineyard from being grubbed up. . . . #vines #oldvines #vineyard #cheninblanc Follow on Instagram
