Segovian suckling pig @sabor_ldn which feels like a little bit of Spain in the heart of London. Extraordinarily delicate sweet meat and crisp skin + exemplary chips. Also an amazing fish stew with skate and hard boiled eggs. First time I’ve been to the asador upstairs - feels like the best kind of home cooking @nieves_barragan1 @gemmabelleats. Lovely pre-Christmas treat. #guest. . . . #pork #sucklingpig #spanishfood #sabor #london #nievesbarraganSome things that come through the door you can live without but a large golden pat of butter from @fenfarmdairy isn’t one of them. Off to buy some crumpets. (Now acquired - see Stories!) . . . #butter #dairy #rawmilk #fenfarmdairy #bungay #suffolk #sampleI may be biased (of course I am!) but I’m totally in love with the new work my stepson @flynvibert is sharing in his latest series 25 days of Christmas. He creates these images at home in his apartment in Berlin - there’s no digital manipulation. Give him a follow! . . . #photography #art #artistsoninstagram #beauty #red #creative #photoart #photoartist #berlin #proud #regramHard day at the computerface today so here’s a cute picture from @padstowxmas last weekend. Nothing to do with food or booze for once. . . . #dachshund #dachshundsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #cutedogs Follow on Instagram
