Santiago’s Sandwich Take-over

By Anastasia Miari Santiago's Sandwich Take -over Sandwiched between the Andean mountains, Santiago, the Chilean capital has become somewhat of a hub for gastronomy in recent years. The economy has been growing consistently, with Chile leading Latin America in income per capita. This means an increased penchant for dining out amongst the Chileans, as well as a flourishing bar and restaurant scene. Funny then, that a metropolitan melting pot of cultures like Santiago, full of sushi hot spots, ceviche restaurants...

San Carlo Cicchetti – Review

Chichetti (pronounced Chi KET tee) is a deceptively large restaurant that at a glance could be mistaken for a Cafe-esque type eatery. Nestled in the heart of Covent Garden's theatreland, it is a high-end haven of Italian delicacies. The restaurant has been open for a little over a month now and definitely looks the part. As soon as you get in the door the small front opens up to a huge opulent dining room, smartly dressed (and easy on the eye) waiters greet...

TwoRuba @ the Hilton – Review

I disembarked the train at London Bridge to be welcomed by a dark, wet, cold platform. A Tuesday evening such as this is usually spent with a box set in front of the TV, but I managed to pull myself around tonight on account of my meal reservation at the Hilton. Bravely (?) I battled down Tooley Street and into the TwoRuba bar. It recently opened following a £500,000 revamp of the Ruba Bar that previously occupied this space. Once through the...

Dead Ed: Time to Listen to the Regions

By Nathan Lee, Politics Correspondent  What happened to the days when the Premier League was just Manchester United and Chelsea, Mourinho versus Ferguson, red versus blue? The title would slide one way and then the other, the status quo occasionally disrupted by a surprising league or FA cup run but by and large you knew where you stood. But then Manchester became less about United and more about City, Chelsea came under threat from a once marginalised club on the south coast. In...

Lainston House Hotel – Review

The long winding road that leads to Lainston House Hotel fills you with giddy anticipation from the first instance. Set in 63 acres of beautiful Hampshire parkland the hotel is housed in a 17th century country building that oozes grandeur. “I wish this was my house,” said Mrs TLE as we parked up, you and me both, I thought, as I tried to soak in the luscious green trees and hedges that swamp parts of the building, complementing the white and pink flowers that are...
