Andrew Kay finds the very French Mange Tout is winning the battle of Trafalgar Street

dessert
Ms McT and I had spent a fabulous few hours at Glyndebourne when we met Mr R. Jenufa had reduced us both to tears and I for one was ready for a drink. We met at Mange Tout, a newish French restaurant in which, a few days earlier, I had eaten a delicious lunch of venison stew. Spurred by that I decided that we had to try dinner, and soon.

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk

We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
