Windsor Berkshire

In a short while the first artisan brewery in Windsor for more than half a century will be brewing it's first batch of beer. The guys are keen to track down the relatives Mr G.H. Glover of Burge & Co who was, in 1931 the last brewer in town. If you have any knowledge of the family's whereabouts, please do let us know. And remember to visit the Windsor and Eton Brewery website.

The Royal borough of Windsor and Maidenhead will become the first UK local authority to roll out the 'RecycleBank' rewards-based recycling incentive scheme. 60,000 borough residents will be able to earn up to £130 per year in vouchers and discounts by using new microchipped blue wheelie bins.

We have been told that the Kerana Mu on Victoria St has closed down. The location was always a problem and no restaurant in recent memory has lasted long at that location. It is a particular pity because we enjoyed the food there.

Windsor great park this afternoon

The cloud hanging over Bray for the last few months has gone and the sun is once more shining upon the Fat Duck restaurant. The food poisoning outbreak that hit the headlines has been officially traced back to shellfish bought in good faith from a regular supplier. Therfore Heston's hard won reputation remains untarnished and guests have been flocking back to the Bray eaterie. Meanwhile in Windsor, AWT's deli on St Leonard's Rd was found to be shut just after 4.00pm on Friday last week, with no note on the door to explain this strange occurance. While looking around for information about why I was unable to get my regular wasabiu peanut fix, I discovered that restaurateur Antony Worrall Thompson is patron of the pro-smoking lobby group Forest. This seems such a strange thing for someone whose tastebuds are required to be in first class condition.
