The critic discovers he is visiting this “chic” City riversider on chef’s night off, but finds it has “a good heart and lots of good ideas”.

A rave review on “a delightful addition to the London restaurant scene”.

South-west England is one of the nation's best larders, traditionally supplying fabulous seafood, ham and bacon, smoked foods, orchard fruits and dairy products, of which cheddar cheese and clotted cream have achieved international repute. Now that British food is hip, it seems only right that a restaurant specialising in foods from that region should open in the capital, and that it should be situated in a place likely to tempt well-heeled tourists. After all, there are plenty of bistros celebrating the foods of Alsace, Provence and the Perigord in Paris.
