The Argentinean evening of grass-fed steak and Argentine wines - part of the Festival organised in different parts of London by one of our sponsors - at The Wells gastropub in Hampstead corralled a very full house of customers. The meat was incredible – Argentinean beef has a fresh taste that really appeals to me – and the chef had made lively chimichurri sauce to accompany it.
I must confess now that The Wells is owned by my sister Beth Coventry but nepotism sometimes ought to rule. Tonight The Wells is hosting a Lucky Dice evening – throw a six and your food will be free – and there is still time to try their festival menu at £25 for two courses and send in votes.
Speaking of nepotism, you can also try a Festival Menu and a Lucky Dice extravaganza tonight at my son Ben’s gastropub, The Draper’s Arms in Islington. Food runs in the family.

The Festival Menus were fantastic – I tried two very different ones and both were extremely satisfying. Can’t wait for next year’s London Restaurant Festival!
