Dining out solo is one of life’s great pleasures, in my opinion. It’s also a great way for a restaurant to offer the best hospitality - always look after the solo diner. To charge them double seems cynical and just not very, er, hospitable.

Jeremy King to open his new restaurant in London next spring. The Park, “very much within the grand cafes and brasseries mould”, will open in the new Park Modern building on the corner of Bayswater and Queensway.

Unless Phillip Schofield’s ex-lover contradicts his version of events to @TheSun & BBC, then it’s time to stop this relentless persecution of a guy who’s lost everything and looks right on the edge to me. He doesn’t seem to have committed any crime, and he’s not a Govt minister.
