## GET OUT OF LONDON HERE: The Falcon, Herfordshire 

A new restaurant has opened its doors in the market town of Buntingford. Chef Kieren Steinborn-Busse and his wife Natasha have launched The Falcon in Natasha’s home county of Hertfordshire in a cosy Grade II-listed building (where there are just 28 covers). Kieren has worked at the likes of The Goring, Quo Vadis (under the mentorship of Marco Pierre White), and Thackeray’s in Tunbridge Wells where he retained the restaurants then- Michelin star. The menu at The Falcon showcases his experience and love of British food, deliberately moving away from overcomplicated, haute cuisine. Expect to sample the likes of salt-baked beetroot, dandelion and Graceburn cheese; Isle of Mersea skate wing, confit fennel, onions and caper brown butter; and honey panna cotta with poached rhubarb and lavender shortbread.

*69 High Street, Buntingford, Hertfordshire, SG9 9AE*

## SEE STACEY DOOLEY HERE: Brighton Dome, East Sussex 

Stacey Dooley has firmly established herself as one of BBC3’s most celebrated presenters through her hugely popular investigative series, covering a wide-range of topics from sex trafficking in Cambodia, to Yazidi women fighting back in Syria. At the core of her reporting are incredible women in extraordinary and scarily-ordinary circumstances – from sex workers in Russia, to victims of domestic violence in Honduras. In this rare live appearance, Stacey talks about her remarkable career so far, and explores the themes of her debut book, discussing everything from gender equality, to sex trafficking and sexual identity, weaving these global strands together in an exploration of what it is to be women in the world today.

## CHECK OUT AN OLD FAVOURITE HERE: The Bingham Riverhouse, Surrey 

This month will see the storied Bingham in Richmond evolve into the Bingham Riverhouse.

## SEE THIS: Glengarry Glen Ross, UK-wide 

David Mamet’s Pulitzer-winning Glengarry Glen Ross is heading out on a UK tour from 14th February. Set in an office of cut-throat Chicago salesmen – pitched in a high-stakes competition against each other – four increasingly desperate employees will do anything, legal or otherwise, to sell the most real estate. As time and luck start to run out, the mantra is simple: “Close the deal and you've won a Cadillac; blow the lead and you're f\*\*\*\*d”. Directed by Sam Yates, the hard-hitting sales team includes Mark Benton (Waterloo Road, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) and Nigel Harman (EastEnders, Shrek the Musical).
