Holy moly, Bar Shrimp is something special.I was absolutely in my element on my solo seat at the counter last Friday.The team from Higher Ground have got this show well and truly nailed down, and it fits Manchester's food scene like Sunday's frozen pitch fits a Thermos flask.The best negroni I've ever tasted, followed by four Cumbrae oysters and a late Lindisfarne addition (Happy Hour!!! 50% off!!!).Scallop tartare (OMG) with elderflower dressing. Then a big old chunky spider crab: he was a chunky and delicious boy.I will devour padron peppers wherever I see them, but try them with bottarga (I didn't know either, dried fish roe pouch - apparently it's "the parmesan of the sea") grated over.Devilled eggs with brown crab and trout roe 🤌*mwah*, then Arbroath smokie fritters, outrageously moreish. Just for good mesaure a few more scallops: Grilled Queenie ones in mouclade butter to be precise.Head Chef YUNA KIM / 김유나 kitchen runs as smooth as the tarragon mayo that came with that delicious spider crab; and yes I can't get this outing out of my mind, so I've entered in to analogy "Inception". It's analogy within analogy; I'm comparing my meal to itself 🤯Gutted I didn't get the name of the guy on the bar so I could give him a shout out for spending the best part of two hours keeping me entertained, plying me with wine, and answering questions like "what's bottarga?" 🙃After me and the guy on the bar (sorry!) exchanged cat pictures, I was dragged out kicking and screaming, yelling "just one more oyster!" (That last bit is a lie.)In short; if you like a chilled vibe, exceptional seafood and a restaurant with a DJ, maybe we'll bump into each other next time I'm there. Which I'm hoping isn't too far off 🤓 ...

This beautiful country house hotel is set across 240 acres of parkland, surrounded by woodland and open countryside in Berkshire. 🌳A 5 Star hotel with a rather impressive spa, Michelin-starred dining, and one particularly unusual feature for a country house hotel — its own polo fields. 🐎With royal connections, an equestrian heritage and plenty of history tucked away among the trees…Can you guess where it is? 👀Swipe through and see if you can work it out. ...

I couldn't just take Manchester's Finest at their word regarding JOJI had to find out for myself. So that's what I did the other Saturday. On my bill. Eating raw fish and pretending that I can use chopsticks 🥢 It was incredible. Sublime. So fresh. Such amazing ingredients, treated with expertise and care. And I have to let you know, there's something to be said for dining alone; it's going to be my new hobby.There was a lovely moment sat at the counter, when a total stranger and I made eye contact as we tried a dish at the same time, and both did that narrowing of the eyes when you taste something delicious, as we shared a moment of appreciation for our experience. He then turned back towards the friends he had come along with 😂🤓Digression... Anyway it was top. In the words of Douglas Adams "thanks for all the fish" 😁🫡 ...
