Manzanilla sherry and smoked dried beef with almonds

Manzanilla sherry never fails to surprise me with its versatility but you don't often come across a combination as good as the one I had last week at Lido restaurant in Bristol.

The idea of matching a soup with a full-bodied south-western French red wine might seem bizarre but it proved a surprisingly good pairing.

Rabbit saltimbocca and the most divine creamy borlotti beans @toklas_london last night. Preceded by sea bass crudo. Such a lovely restaurant. Should go there more. . . . #rabbit #saltinbocca #beans #seabass #crudo #toklas #londonfoodThe most perfect autumn day, walking through the woods, collecting conkers . . . #autumn #conkers #fall #kentIs there anything better than a pie as a starter? Mini chicken and ham pies @theclifton_bristol’s incredibly buzzy Sunday night service. Where they run a short menu to clear the kitchen before they close for two days. 20% off drinks for customers who work in hospo too. Win win. Will miss you at the pass @williammrees #pie #pub #bristolfood #sundaynight #cliftonThanks @marinagpoloughlin for the tip-off that the wonderful @tomnd.c.a.l.e (ex Great Queen Street) is back on the food scene masterminding the menu @cafemission.e1. It’s a largely plant-based menu including this addictive Mysore style set dosa with pumpkin sabji and coconut chutney with the occasional fish and meat dish thrown in like this @chalk_stream trout and prawn cocktail . Fresh, healthy, well-priced food served in a lovely light airy room - or the terrace outside if it’s fine which let’s face it it rarely is at the mo. (Although it’s supposed to be warming up next week) Welcome back Tom! . . . #dosa #pumpkin #trout #prawncocktail #cafemission #tomnorringtondavies #spitalfields #guest Follow on Instagram
