We’ve been trying to get over to BIRD in Shoreditch for months now. When they launched their weekday lunch menu, we were gutted that our ‘day job’ is just that little bit… Continue reading
Joe’s Southern Kitchen has a new outpost! Not content with just having their central Covent Garden location, they have ventured a little further north to Kentish Town. We were lucky enough to be… Continue reading
I’m going to start with the opening sentence from the menu. ‘Inspired by the Café Royal Cocktail Book compiled in 1937, the Green Bar at Hotel Café Royal is a vibrant cocktail destination’.… Continue reading
There are a few things I learnt this week. 1) The SpongeBob SquarePants movie is terrible. 2) Kiwi Chef Peter Gordon (of Kopapa fame, of which we’re big fans) has been working with… Continue reading
We don’t want to sound naive but up until a year or so ago we hadn’t tried any Peruvian food at all. All that I knew is that a friend of mine went… Continue reading
When Gordon Ramsay‘s Union Street Café popped up on our work doorstep we couldn’t believe our luck. There was a huge buzz about the opening, rumours of David Beckham being involved and miscommunication… Continue reading
The trend for Japanese food just doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Existing restaurants are opening additional branches, pop-ups are getting permanent sites and new launches are, if anything, gaining momentum. One of… Continue reading
The humble coffee shop culture is developing all the time. Who decided coffee should just be a day time thing? London Grind is open from 7am offering breakfast, all-day dining with dishes such… Continue reading
I commute to London every day, Monday to Friday and have done so for nearly two decades. But there’s still so much of this great city that Saff and I haven’t experienced. Yes,… Continue reading
OK, I’m not being mean, but why do so-called Londoners go to Pizza Express? This is a question we ask ourselves frequently. There are tonnes of greater (and cheaper) restaurants, it’s not 1998… Continue reading
By some weird coincidence we revisited the revamped Cucina Asellina at the plush celeb haunt ME London hotel exactly two years after the first visit. Although when I say we, I mean my… Continue reading
We never need an excuse to visit Shake Shack in Covent Garden. But when we found out The ShackMeister was making its UK debut we were there in a flash. The ShackMeister is… Continue reading
If you’re a fan of Chinese New Year (it’s the year of the sheep if you’re interested), or even if you’re not, it’s impossible not to be impressed by the culinary journey offered… Continue reading
When the email came round at the day job that the Walkie Talkie (or 20 Fenchurch Street to give it its proper name) was opening up its top three floors to the public, there was… Continue reading
We’d heard that HotBox, the latest BBQ restaurant to hit London, gets pretty loud (it certainly was on the launch night). So we rushed through any conversation on the way there, anticipating shouting over/at… Continue reading
So, it’s that time of year where we sit back and reflect over the past twelve months. Some of the best things we’ve eaten we can still taste as clear as day when… Continue reading
The Jones Family Project has a lot going for it – a prime spot on Shoreditch’s Great Eastern Street opposite The Hoxton hotel, meat from renowned butchers the Ginger Pig who supply the… Continue reading
What do get if you take a run-down East End pub and let Charlie McVeigh (of the Draft House group) work his magic? You get the Draft House Birdcage! The pub is by… Continue reading
As soon as the temperature drops, the nights draw in, leaves turn red and begin to fall off the trees, all we crave is comfort and warmth. This comes mostly in the form… Continue reading
We eat out a lot (obviously) and despite seeking out restaurants that we anticipate loving rather than just liking, a lot of the time we are left a little deflated. We’ve eaten at… Continue reading
