We don’t have opening times as such. I’m available most days, including early evenings
up to about 7.00pm. I am pleased to talk with you, by e-mail, here by appointment,
or on the telephone. Saturday and Sunday are good days.
THE RESTAURANT...
For 24 years we were a restaurant called Croque-en-Bouche, on the side of the Malvern
Hills in Worcestershire. It was very small, just myself and my wife, no full-time
staff. We weren't fancy, but we were pretty good. We had a Michelin Star for 22 years,
and were in the top ten or so of the Good Food Guide from the early eighties. And
we'd won all the UK wine awards, including Egon Ronay Cellar of the Year. In that
time we learnt what people liked to drink, our enthusiasm for wine grew, we bought
more stock than we ought, and became wine merchants alongside the restaurant business.
But in the end, we got too old to be polishing glasses at 2.00am. And decided to
quit restaurants while we were winning!
