For this longer than usual episode, Neil and Chris met up at Burnt Faith Brandy House in Walthamstow for a taste of the kitchen resident Black Cactus BBQ’s menu – and were damn glad they did!

Neil recommends a couple of excellent London pubs. Chris shares highlights from music-related trips to Thessaloniki and Vienna as well as a couple of affordable foodie finds from a work-related visit to Manchester.
