If ever the phrase ‘don’t judge a book by it’s cover’ was appropriate, it would be here at Ebi Sushi

The Boot, Repton
I’m not sure about anyone else in the Derby area but we seem to be struggling of late to find new places to go for dinner – it was only whilst scrolling through the instagram of Head Chef Rob Taylor that I saw a picture that reminded me that we’d still not tried The Boot! It’s somewhere we’ve popped into a couple of times on the off chance of grabbing a table (much harder than it sounds – it’s always been that busy that we’d so far failed!)
Luckily on this occasion we’d booked a table well in advance!
Things got off to a good start when the menus came and I wanted everything! Narrowing it down was taking a while so it was a pleasant surprise when an amuse bouche of oxtail bonbons arrived whilst we made our choices. I suppose I hadn’t really given much thought to what the food would be like before we came and may have unfairly assumed that it would just be ‘nice pub food’ – I could immediately tell it was more than that…
A golden, crispy outer coating concealed deliciously soft, rich shredded oxtail and was quickly devoured in a couple of bites
Alchemilla, Nottingham
How it’s been 6 months since I visited Alchemilla to interview Alex Bond, I do not know – even more unbelievable is that I hadn’t eaten here since it opened at the beginning of August!
Keen to rectify that, we booked a table to celebrate Dad’s birthday a couple of Saturdays ago…

Recipe – Slow cooked oxtail ragu with gnocchi & gremolata
A weekend at Ynyshir, Wales
I’d been following the Instagram accounts of Ynyshir and Gareth Ward for some time, but when I visited Alchemilla to interview Alex Bond and he said the one place I must visit was Ynyshir, I couldn’t help but book a trip…
