Food: Blantyre – Central Cafe. Watch out for this one, it’s going places!
Move over, there’s a new kid on the block, quite literally – at Block three, Blantyre Industrial Estate, Lanarkshire. Central Cafe is located in a busy industrial space on the outskirts of Hamilton and located minutes off the main A725 East Kilbride Expressway.

Food – Germany – Cologne: Jameson’s Distillery Pub. Excellent grub at reasonable prices.
Imagine. Who travels to Cologne and then decides to eat in an Irish pub, when there is no shortage of local providers? Well, me, apparently!

The name derives from the Gaelic language where ‘iasg’ is the word for fish but is pronounced ee-usk. Now, I’ll bet few knew that little nugget of information. The building certainly stands…
Food – Hexham: The Golden Dragon. Unfortunately, this wasn’t their finest hour!
Well, my visit to the Golden Dragon was certainly memorable, but not for the right reasons. A first for me, in that I arrived at 7.00pm and was back in the car at 7.55pm having eaten three courses and had a drink. Given that we could allow 10 minutes wait time for service, that meant…
