The Little Yellow Door (an eclectic pop-up bar based on a fictional flat-share between friends) returns to Notting Hill Gate on 25 March. The Wandering Chef – the chef behind the recent Game of Thrones themed pop-up at the Andaz Hotel that almost sent Twitter into meltdown – will create a regularly changing menu, the first one being […]
Nestled in our email inbox, a press release so flowery it seems to emit an aroma of homemade potpourri. News that Novikov has acquired a kitchen garden in Suffolk may not seem like (ahem) fertile ground for comedy but the wording of this particular epistle provoked an archly raised eyebrow. In a ‘bucolic paradise’ near […]

So news that Shepherd’s has reopened (under […]
Further expansion for Thomasina Miers’s bright and breezy Mexican street food chain, Wahaca, with another site planned near London’s Liverpool Street station. The brand’s 17th venue sounds like a bit of a monster, spread over two floors and inhabiting 4,200 square feet. And it seems as though they’ve called in the big guns to help […]
OK, this really is going to be interesting. The people of Manchester have, for the first time in living memory, been graced by the opening of a really hot upmarket restaurant concept straight from the capital. Hawksmoor unveiled plans to open an outpost there last year and since then the Mancunian blogosphere has been in high excitement. […]
Greek restaurant Opso, which opened in Marylebone last year, has announced a Greek-only wine list – featuring what they say is the most comprehensive list of indigenous wines available in London.
