Despite many attempts to introduce beer lists in Michelin-starred restaurants, customers still don’t seem to want to drink it on a special occasion. Are they misguided or are restaurateurs wimping out?

I seriously think I could eat vitello - or pork - tonnato a couple of times a week at this time of year. It’s the most perfect summer food. Great bruschetta too. Always good to hang out @cottowinebarandkitchen and have a long overdue catch-up with @kate_hawkings. #bristollife . . . #vitellotonnato #tonnato #bruschetta #cotto #bristol #saturdaylunch #eatlocalTwo of the spectacular courses at the @penfolds lunch @trivetrestaurant today: grilled ribeye with herb purée and blackberry and pepper sauce with 1996 Grange and roast monkfish with girolles and red wine sauce with a 1962 - yes NINETEEN SIXTY-TWO - Kalimna Cabernet Shiraz. Amazing how the wines stood up to such deeply flavoured sauces devised with great skill by @jonny5lake without even having tasted the wines. Amazing meal #guest. . . . #steak #monkfish #redwine #redwinesauce #winepairing #foodandwine #penfolds #shiraz #grangeUnfortunately not my breakfast today but two stellar brekkies I had this week @foxinncorscombe (eggs bacon and bubble and squeak) and @parador_44 (the grilled chorizo and bacon roll with piquillo ketchup). Love a good hotel breakfast. . . . #breakfast #brunch #eggs #bacon #chorizo #spicyketchup #bubbleandsqueak #foxinncorscombe #parador44 #guestAmazing evening with this crew at the newly opened @parador_44 in Cardiff, a Spanish-inspired hotel which sits just above the brillliant @asador44. Absolutely love the guest bar and lounge which includes some very high quality drinks and snackage in the honesty bar in the form of tinned fish, olives, nuts and turron amongst other yummy things. Breakfasts are epic too. Well done @sherrymonster44 @natalie.isaac and @bar44tom - you’ve really created something quite special. Great to hang out with you @tvsandyclarke @alanoshea13 @matt.tebbutt and @lisa_tebbutt xx . . . #boutiquehotel #cardiff #parador44 #tinnedfish #wine #friends #guest #greatnightout Follow on Instagram
