Simple lunch. San Marzano tomatoes slow-roasted with with some very fine Italian olive oil, 1.34 balsamic from @belazu_co and fleur de sel. Topped with a single basil leaf. Served on toasted bread with a thin scraping of Fortnum & Mason spiced anchovy relish. Bloody marvellous 🤤

The No Rolls Barred crew playing 'Call of Cthulhu' is simply glorious. Special mention: Dominic Allen as Keeper. If there's an award for that kind of thing, he should win it. If there isn't, one should be created. Bloody legend!
