by

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

A Natural Selection? | Darwin Brasserie at the Sky Garden, 20 Fenchurch Street London EC3M 3BY

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

Who needs cheese? We discuss The Flaming Iceberg, The New Special From Byron Hamburgers

by

A CHEESE-HATER’S VERDICT: OK, so I know I’m in the minority here (as usual) but hooray for Byron‘s latest special – The Flaming Iceberg that contains no cheese! Whoop! A burger doesn’t need… Continue reading

Winter warmers | Our favourite slow-cooked stews and casseroles in London, bookable with OpenTable

by

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

Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea | Bubba Gump, Unit 75 Trocadero, 13 Coventry Street, London W1D 7AB

by

Now don’t get me wrong, I love Forest Gump. It’s one of my favourite films. In fact it’s one of those movies that even when flicking through the TV channels at 1.06am, you… Continue reading

We feared the wurst… | Herman ze German, 43 Charlotte Street, London W1T 1RS

by

I don’t think I’ve ever visited Herman ze German sober. The Villiers Street branch is in staggering distance of Charing Cross station and certainly beats a McDonald’s on the way home. Now they… Continue reading

Sí, sí, Señor | Señor Ceviche, Kingly Court, Carnaby Street, London W1B 5PW

by

My first experience of ceviche was only this summer at Tierra peru, a stall at the Campo Viejo Streets of Spain festival and I loved it! Although ceviche has a Spanish heritage, it’s… Continue reading

Talk dirty to me | Dirty Burger, 13 Bethnal Green Road, Shoreditch, London E1 6LA

by

Yashin Ocean House makes miso happy | Yashin Ocean House, 117-119 Old Brompton Road, South Kensington, London SW7 3RN

by

OK, I’ll be up front from the start, Japanese food is not really our forte. The hot variety – yes. Sushi and sashimi – no. We like ramen, love a Katsu curry, I enjoyed… Continue reading

Blue is the colour, deep south cooking is the game | The Blues Kitchen Shoreditch, 134-146 Curtain Road, Shoreditch, London EC2A 3AR

by

We’ve been missing a big plate of BBQ meat and the joy that messy fingers and a full belly of smokey food brings, so when Saff’s GP mistook her for a vegetarian and… Continue reading

Undoubtably the best views from a hotel, ever | Shangri-la hotel & TĪNG at The Shard | 31 St Thomas Street, London, SE1 9QU

by

Staying the night in the Shangri-la at the Shard – the UK’s first elevated hotel was only ever going to be incredible. The Shard is one of our favourite buildings, despite my doubts… Continue reading

Lucky number seven | The Diner, Old Spitalfields Market, London E1 6EW

by

For us, going to The Diner is like visiting a good friend. This seventh site in Spitalfields Market is subtlety different. It’s almost as if this good friend has had a year out,… Continue reading

The Rib Room Bar, Jumeirah Carlton Tower, London SW1X 9PY

by

Last year, when Saff was invited along to review the newly refurbished Rib Room, I was gutted! Not only had the iconic Knightsbridge restaurant been given a makeover by designer Martin Brudnizki but… Continue reading

Four 0 Nine restaurant at Foodie Festival, Battersea Park, London

by

This will be one of our shortest reviews ever, not because the food’s bad – it’s actually very, very good… It’s just because we were at a food festival and the Four 0… Continue reading

The Table Cafe revisited | 83 Southwark Street, London SE1 0HX

by

We had the chance to visit Dabbous. We turned it down. Are we mad? Possibly, yes, but it was for a very good cause. The Table restaurant on Southwark Street, where our blog… Continue reading

Beer and food pairing at The Old Brewery Greenwich, The Pepys Building, London SE10 9LW

by

If you like your beer, and we don’t mean the usual weak lagers or soapy bitters, then you must pop along to the Old Brewery in Greenwich. These are serious beers, we’re talking… Continue reading

RG’s at Rowhill Grange Hotel & Spa, Wilmington, Kent DA2 7QH

by

It’s been quite a while since we had a formal meal, especially a local one. Most of our latest reviews have been at the more ‘of the moment’ London restaurants, lots of small… Continue reading

The Drift, Heron Tower, 110 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4AY

by

The Drift is the latest opening by Drake & Morgan, owners of The Folly, The Anthologist, The Parlour, and their first venture – The Refinery which is right under our work’s building. We… Continue reading

Spuntino, 61 Rupert Street, Soho, London, W1D 7PW

by

We loved this place from the minute we walked in the door. As co-founder Russell Norman said in a recent interview, ‘Once you’re in, you get a metaphorical hug’. We couldn’t put it… Continue reading
