Chez Bruce

@RyanCoetzee Interesting why so few SA wines are under screw cap. All the rage in Aus and NZ. Why not the case in SA?

The 2019 whites are so good I just had to find a few more. Decent haul, this.

@NickAnt12345 @NikBoyle The cathedral. Apparently. Benjamin Britten wrote some nice music about it too!

@NikBoyle Nothing - quite literally

Going to Coventry for the first time in my life in 3 weeks. What do I have to look forward to ? 👀👀

@michelrouxjr @OfficialTourPro Nothing below par about those!

@OfficialTourPro Never mind the menu look at the wines 👌🏻

Rory Mcilroy’s Masters champion dinner menu. How would you rate this on a scale of 1-10?

@Chablislodge A lovely spot!

The private riverside terrace of Riverside Lodge. The only one in Chablis….. How it started out, then before and after today’s spring clean. South facing so gets the sun from mid morning until sunset. 🌞☀️🏖️❤️

@NickAnt12345 @rwilley112 Vital contact with the outside world …

@rwilley112 I’m at home most of the time, I saw the wine delivery guy earlier 💪

👋

The Three Bs: Brucie Bonus Bargain!

Restaurant life ….

@TheNosyGourmet @MattChristmas1 👍🙏

A first class Mothering Sunday lunch at Chez Bruce. 2nd visit and will definitely aim to eat there more frequently in future. Classical dishes rich in flavour and very much the food people just like to eat, exactly as it should be @ChezBruce @MattChristmas1

@michelrouxjr @LiamPaulCanning No. Mainoo will be better off without him and let’s not forget, Casemiro was poor last season. And I can run faster than him! He has been good this season, but it’s now time ….

@LiamPaulCanning Yes 👍🏻

Would you want one more year of Casemiro?

@GilesMacDonogh @chefsevenn Looks like they overdid it with the greenery ….

@chefsevenn one-track mind and palate.

What is your first thought when you open this fridge?

@profdwh @KennyFarq Winston Churchill: “… an empty cab drew up and Clement Attlee got out.”

@KennyFarq This reminded me of a nice moment on p.65 of Clive James, Falling Towards England (1985): 'In the main court of King's ... a small old man who looked like E.M. Forster shuffled by. It was E.M. Forster'.

On a train heading north from Waverley. A guy gets on wearing an orange jacket, cobalt blue troosers and green socks. Christ, I thought, this auld fella is dressed as Michael Portillo. Auld fella turns around. It is Michael Portillo.

@GilesMacDonogh @TeamSaath @LauraLoomer More inlays on the face than on the building behind …

@TeamSaath @LauraLoomer That face! It's the Mars-a-Lardo face. The only thing it does for me is make me want to run.

Hey @LauraLoomer , Taj Mahal was built by a Muslim Emperor.

@Manners15 @MKnelmes But do you do the washing-up?!

@ChezBruce @MKnelmes Never used a dishwasher either!

Good to be back in Blighty with my toys. Rib of beef with 2005 Clos Fourtet St Emillion later

@NMcooks We also kicked away possession in the final two minutes. Big error. But the ref was hardly on our side it has to be said! Great game though and France worthy winners of the whole thing.

Blaming Chessum for not going under the posts as the reason England lost is such a wild take. Whilst it was a silly mistake. It’s not what cost us the match. 🤦🏽‍♀️😩

@Manners15 @MKnelmes Have never used a meat thermometer in my life. Not the way I was taught!

@MKnelmes @ChezBruce Nah Iove a bit of risk

@GilesMacDonogh @marlene4719 The Board of Peace is still raging ….

@marlene4719 They're all at war.

So is the Board of Peace still a thing?

@profdwh @AlexTran677026 Tony Curtain

@AlexTran677026 Bernard Schwartz

Who can name him? Hmm 🤔?

@keswickbootco @rfj1966 Nor mine!

@rfj1966 Not my kind of bar 🤣🥃

#SkiLiftSunday T-bar time

@GobbyChef @Nick_Spragg Yep. A poor season for us and I have no argument with France winning overall. They’re the best team this year.

@Nick_Spragg @ChezBruce I’d agree but I’m a great believer that the decisions level out over the championship, it makes me wonder why we were so dreadful in the previous games

Never a penalty try. Arguably a pen for England off the line out. Pathetic.
