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
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
There are a few fundamental things we look for in a restaurant: good customer service, pleasing decor, plus great cooking with a varied and reasonably priced menu. It’s staggering the amount of places… Continue reading
Bit of a blogger fail, but we still have a few London burger places to tick off our list. Dirty Burger was one of them, although they had three branches one in Vauxhall,… Continue reading
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
What is a pizza? We discovered recently that apparently a pizza with chicken as a topping is not a pizza, even worse, it is breaking pizza law. So what is it if it… Continue reading
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
On the night we were invited to Grillshack, one of the numerous new restaurants that are to open this month, we read that the capital’s typical restaurant goer eats out 3.7 times a… Continue reading
Sometimes you look at a menu and it stirs such excitement, only for the food itself to be a let down. The menu for the Chop Shop bought joy on all levels. Thankfully… Continue reading
They say you should never judge a book by its cover. Well, you should never judge a venue by its roadside appearance. Hurwundeki, a Korean Cafe and hair salon (yes, a strange combo)… Continue reading
I’m going to make this post a little more concise than usual (this may be a relief for some). Firstly because I want to get this review out there as quick as I… Continue reading
Often it takes us a while to relax and get settled in when we visit a restaurant. We’re usually rushing and knackered from the day job, so switching off and enjoying the night… Continue reading
A rare outing to a region of London that doesn’t begin with ‘S’ bought us to Rita’s Bar & Dining in Dalston. Described on their site as a ‘travelling food and drink collaboration between… Continue reading
Wong Kei, possibly one of the most amusing names for a restaurant ever. As soon as I mentioned we were going there I was inundated with stories of friends’ visits – looks like Wong… Continue reading
Up until our honeymoon in Thailand, a Thai green curry was my all-time favourite dish, I would even go as far as saying it would have been my death row meal. But due… Continue reading
There are a couple of buzz words that have resurfaced of late – cheap eats! Time out had their cover story dedicated to the subject a while back. We even went to Zédel off… Continue reading
Brasserie Zédel appears to be London’s favourite cheap eat of the moment. A touch of luxury at silly prices (as in silly cheap) by restauranteurs Chris Corbin and Jeremy King of The Wolseley… Continue reading
*THIS RESTAURANT HAS NOW CLOSED* When a visit to a restaurant involves walking past both MEATliquor and Tommi’s Burger Joint, we knew we’d just spend the night hankering after a dirty burger, washed… Continue reading
Hidden in the depths of Camden’s Stables Market is Battersea Pie. A pie and mash stall that we first discovered in our nearby Bluewater. Sadly that site is no longer. Now Camden’s not… Continue reading
If the queue outside MEATLiquor seems a little shorter at the moment then that might be due to a new player in town… The Icelandic King of burgers. Literally around the corner, Tommi’s… Continue reading
