December 2025. Waterbeach. I forgot this photo last time, Dale’s Brewery converted to Hot Numbers coffee shop, one of Cambridge’s premier meeting points for folk who don’t pub. While in Waterbeach we invited Curry Charles and Julia (not sure of her prefix) over from Dereham for a curry at the Nepalese pub that has turned… Continue reading YOU SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FRIENDS.

CURRY NIGHT IN WATERBEACH
June 2025. Waterbeach. A rare Tuesday night in Waterbeach, where The Sun and Chung Hwa are closed and the White Horse (South Asian restaurant and all) is being refurbished. Biryani at the Taps, then. I hadn’t rushed back to the (Brewery) Taps since it was revived last year, but they’ve delivered on their promise to… Continue reading CURRY NIGHT IN WATERBEACH
CURRY IN CAMBRIDGE. THE TIFFIN TRUCK, ORCHARD PARK
January 2025. Cambridge. Back in Waterbeach for another day of searching through Mum’s endless treasure trove of photos and every card received in 30 years, we collapsed on Sunday evening and looked for an early tea. Surprisingly, Mrs RM turned down my offer of driving her to the Haymakers for a pint of 7.5% Marcus… Continue reading CURRY IN CAMBRIDGE. THE TIFFIN TRUCK, ORCHARD PARK
UNDER THE ARCHES
June 2024. Stockport. “A gallon of Unicorn, and a greasy lamb dhansak, a night out in Stockport… “ Actually, that would have given John Denver a bigger hit than his paean to Sheffield nightlife. But I couldn’t recommend an Indian restaurant in Cheshire’s finest pub town, and neither could Curry-Heute, who’d seemingly never been to… Continue reading UNDER THE ARCHES
ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK – FIERCE BAR
March 2024. Manchester. Despite a disastrous season which has seen City 3 points from the top of the League, in the FA Cup semi-final and Champions League Quarter-Final and winning the World Cup and Super Cup, all while selling Asahi below £5 a pint at the Etihad, I renewed my season ticket for 2024-25. Price… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN THE MANCHESTER BEER BOOK – FIERCE BAR
THE BEWILDERING, BEGUILING, BOMBAY BREW
March 2024. Rochdale. Enough culture; let’s do a pub. Here’s the maps I forgot to give you earlier. We met Blackpool Jane at the station (12 minutes from M’cr Victoria), with that half mile walk through a less than salubrious part of town best known for the two dozen Sam Smiths keg pubs Leon ticked… Continue reading THE BEWILDERING, BEGUILING, BOMBAY BREW
FIRST CURRY IN LISBON (NCSS 4)
March 2024. Lisbon. Portugal. Our penultimate day in Portugal took us back to the capital and a third stop at Lisbon’s Oriente station on the EXPO site, via the wondrous housing estate art along Av. Infante Dom Henrique. Public transport seemed to click that day; the bus from Setubal actually turned up, I had the… Continue reading FIRST CURRY IN LISBON (NCSS 4)
CURRY LADS IN THE HEN & CHICKENS
14th April 2023. The Bucolic Brum Bender continued into the Jewellery Quarter, and a genuine pre-emptive tick at the Hen & Chickens. Despite the rain, I joined Kentish Paul in a leisurely pace that allowed us to take in the beauty of the industrial quarter, which features a “Top 500 trees growing out of buildings”… Continue reading CURRY LADS IN THE HEN & CHICKENS
SUNDAY NIGHT IN ATHENS – BEER AND CURRY AND STAG DOs
ADVISORY : NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH 26th February 2023. Three (3) nights in Athens, as the old Murray Head hit almost went; let’s hit the town. Mrs RM didn’t fancy a walk up the Acropolis in the dark, which I consequently didn’t even see on that first night. What I did see was a young,… Continue reading SUNDAY NIGHT IN ATHENS – BEER AND CURRY AND STAG DOs
KASHMIR
19th December 2022. It was a controversial decision by Black Country progsters Led Zeppelin to name their song about curry after a cafe in Bradford, rather than a Balti house closer to home. Perhaps Spice of Lyefe and Balti Bazaar didn’t scan as well. You’re a bit spoilt for curry in Bradford; here’s Curry-Heute’s list.… Continue reading KASHMIR
