Belgravia, Organic Restaurant Guide

Set in a stylish and roomy post-industrial space – the former coal store of a converted Pimlico power station – this buzzy operation from caterers Jemima Jones and Lucy Carr-Ellison is “always a reliable place to go with girlfriends” to feast on Middle Eastern-influenced dishes, using ingredients from their family farms in Somerset and Northumberland. The space is big enough to host events seating up to 180 guests.

“Perhaps the food should not have left the farm…” – the feedback we receive (admittedly thin) remains sceptical regarding the fashionably located London satellites of Lady Bamford’s enviable Cotswold estate in Brompton Cross, Notting Hill and Pimlico. Some reports do say they are “great places for lunch when shopping, with fantastic home-made soups and cakes”, but even fans can find them “pricey” – to critics the level of value is “scandalous” or “just crazy”.
