Easy like Sunday morning, as Mr Richie sang. Although there was nothing easy about this particular Sunday morning, apart from the prospect of an early lunch at Sugar Dumplin. Firstly there were a… Continue reading
Poor Fred Smith – Byron’s head chef, he has to travel the world in search of inspiration for new specials, must be horrendous for him. His most recent trip to Japan has resulted… Continue reading
I felt I’d given ourselves enough time to recover from the last no reservations restaurant we visited before heading to another* – Blacklock. Founded by a few ex-employees from one of our favourite… Continue reading
I used to go bowling a lot and I mean a lot! Every weekend from the age of about ten to around fifteen, my Saturday would involve a morning movie, a frame or… Continue reading
Where else to try the new Wahaca specials than the Wahaca Southbank Experiment? Previously Dishoom’s Chowpatty Beach and built from eight recycled shipping containers (we have a thing for shipping containers). In case… Continue reading
If you’re in or around the area of Old Street, we have some good news for you. Bodean’s, one of London’s original BBQ restaurants, has launched a ‘Brunch-B-Que’ at their new Old Street… Continue reading
Time is the one thing that we are all lacking in our lives. No one wants to waste a second of it queuing for a restaurant, yet we put ourselves through this pain… Continue reading
It’s very rare that we revisit restaurants. Sure, we have maybe a handful that we return to fairly regularly, but as a rule we never seem to have the time (or money) especially… Continue reading
We’re OBVIOUSLY not comparing ourselves in the slightest, but we totally get why Fay Maschler visits a restaurant at least twice before she reviews. Our visit to Hoppers a couple of weeks ago,… Continue reading
Next in line at the Bread St Bar Sessions at Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen is Wingmans – the UK’s very first authentic ‘Wingery’. The Bread St Bar Sessions is a series of pop-ups… Continue reading
When writing up our restaurant reviews, the first thing that I try to do is think of a title. It has to be witty (usually fails), pun-tasticly clever (again hit and miss) and… Continue reading
Sometimes Saff and I get a little disillusioned whilst eating out. Don’t get me wrong, we still absolutely love what we do and we honestly appreciate just how lucky we are. It’s just… Continue reading
Shackfuyu – nope, I’m not swearing, naming a planet from the new Star Wars film, nor has a cat just walked across my keyboard. It’s the pop-up gone permanent by the fabulous Bone… Continue reading
We have never been to Burger & Lobster before. The reasons? We love our burgers but we’d heard the ones at B&L weren’t outstanding, which didn’t make sense to us as Goodman are… Continue reading
I’m not actually a massive fan of Christmas food (unless it’s something dirty or Dishoom‘s turkey raan) but what I am keen on is Christmas booze – especially cocktails. So the other night… Continue reading
Italian-inspired Bunga Bunga in Battersea have collaborated with The House of Peroni to launch IL PORCO – a wonderful Italian pork fest washed down with Peroni. Two words we find very hard to… Continue reading
It’s always exciting when a new independent restaurant opens, what makes it astonishing is when it gets a clean sweep of 4 and 5 star reviews (well almost). The Evening Standard, Time Out… Continue reading
Oh look, there’s another new London restaurant with a name that’s two random words paired together, yawn. Well, at least these aren’t not totally random, you know what you’re gonna get there. We… Continue reading
As Saff mentioned in her recent Dirty Bones review, we very rarely re-visit restaurants. There are an obvious few exceptions (MEATLiquor, The Diner, Dishoom and any of Russell Norman‘s places) but The Big… Continue reading
You all well know that we love a burger and Tommi’s Burger Joint have been one of our favourites since they came over to London from their Icelandic homeland in the summer of… Continue reading
