I enjoyed this piece in The Sunday Times about how Archie Norman sounded out candidates for the ITV job over meals at Wild Honey in St George St. Writer James Anderson says the venue was chosen for first for privacy - that didn't work, because someone got close enough to see that Adam Crozier had the fish, and Norman chose steak and Gevrey-Chambertin - and, secondly, to be away from media types in Soho and Covent Garden. The more likely reason is that the restaurant is less than three minutes walk from the offices of Archie Norman's private equity operation, Aurigo Management Partners, in Davies Street.
(The Gevrey Chambertin on the Wild Honey list is Cuvee Ostrea, Domaine Trapet, year unspecified on the website, at £97 for a full bottle, £47.50 a half).
