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.
