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!

As amazing as their meal (not to mention the comfy booth where they had it) was, the venue was a little too loud for recording. So they reconvened online the next day to chat.

During the conversation, the two discuss what’s recently been top of their to-do lists.

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.

There’s talk of more great places to eat around London and what to watch when not going out. 

Neil and Chris “dial in” this one from their respective homes via Zencastr.
