• This was a very sought after free event and a bunch of us who were looking at tips on improving our food photography skills were amongst the bloggers who got some useful tips from David Griffen
• Food and Drinks were courtesy The Gilbert Scott and Michellin starred Chef Marcus Wareing who spoke to all of us
• One of the treats in our goody bag for the evening was an invite to The Gilbert Scott for a free cocktail
• I cannot stop romancing old buildings and the Gothic Revival architectural style used by Scott is proof that old really is gold
• Little did I know that while on tour a few minutes later the restaurant Manager Mark Cesareo was to reveal that some part of the movie was filmed inside the grand building

• When I was invited to lunch at The Gilbert Scott Restaurant I was so excited
• The grandeur alone is beyond anything else you will find around Kings Cross
• I ordered the Mackerel with Pickled Cucumber
• Pork Fillet with Chick Peas
• The dining room and table were beautifully presented
• What I actually received was a very well done piece of meat
• I was looking forward to dessert I was expecting something traditional
• Unfortunately what I received was no more than iles flottant
• In my opinion it was made to sound more enticing than it is (on the menu)
• The dessert was certainly the best tasting of all the courses
• Happy notes were springing off the keys and hopped all over the place
• The lights were suddenly dimmed
• S (chef at the restaurant with the same name in the Berkeley) take on the British brasserie didn&rsquo
• The service was attentive and friendly
• The mini desserts were a lovely alternative to the usual afternoon tea experience
• We thought the wine was a bit pricey
• Custard tart was the star of the show
