Having listened with envy to my wife's tales of great restaurants she and her food-club friends were frequenting, I suggested to a few mates that we institute our own gastronomic get-togethers. What was to become The Gentlemen’s Luncheon Club was born! My natural inclination is toward raw fish, oysters and south east Asian flavour combinations of ginger, lime, chilli, fish sauce, mint, peanuts, soy, palm sugar etc. That said, I'm also more than happy with a rare burger or cod and chips! When I'm not eating, I'm normally thinking about eating, encouraging my kids to eat or attempting to grow stuff in my allotment to eat. I am a devotee of south London and like to keep things simple and local.
