Kerri McGuinness

I’m Kerri, a London-based Irish lass with Spanish sass.

My love affair with London’s food and drink scene started the day Imoved here in October 2010. Never one to do anything by halves, I threw myselfinto it; working in hospitality, attending new openings and discovering thestalwarts of the Industry which have stood the test of time.

Whether it was a team lunch, an important meeting, a hot date or a raucous night out, I found myself constantly recommending ‘just the place’ for friend’s events. “There must be a way to collate these endless lists…”, Iwondered way back in March 2013. Enter Very Kerri. A modern-day concierge, ifyou will.

Today, when not tasting it, I am probably photographing or writingabout food and drink. The rest of the time, I am more than likely creatingdishes in The Very Kerri Kitchen or making a Gin-Tonic in a goldfish bowl.

Everything I feature has the Very Kerri stamp of approval. I’m notwearing rose-tinted glasses, but I do believe there are too many positives toharp on a negative, so posts tend to permeate good vibes. The ‘Five Very Kerrithings about…’ piece on each post sums up that place, experience or dish in anutshell.
