Our mission is remarkably simple. To tell it how it is!
From August to October, Jacob Kenedy’s “offbeat but brilliant gelateria” in Soho – Gelupo – will collaborate with seven of Soho’s hottest restaurants to launch a menu of exclusive gelatos. Each chef has developed and supplied Gelupo with a recipe, that showcases flavours and ingredients commonly found on their own menus. Flavours will range from Campari and grapefruit […]
This week we’ve rounded up the Top 20 Chef’s Tables from across the country. Often considered to be the best seat in the house, chef’s tables and kitchen counters offer those who want to know how the sausage is made the chance to look behind the scenes and interact with the chefs too. The experience […]
This is a guest blog by our friends at the Sustainable Restaurant Association, who launch a new campaign in August to get restaurants serving more veg and better meat. Mushroom risotto, butternut squash tart and pasta with tomato sauce. Three dishes stuffed away in the corner of the menu miles away from the long, eye-catching […]
The Observer’s Jay Rayner doesn’t so much review Plaquemine Lock in Islington as write it a love letter. The Cajun-Creole-influenced pub comes to us courtesy of Jacob Kenedy (of Bocca di Lupo fame)… “A celebration of the food of the Louisiana basin… The walls are painted a hot, sultry yellow overlaid by naive murals of life on the […]
Bruno Loubet’s veggie-centric King’s Cross venture, Grain Store, will close its doors for good on 23 August. The warehouse-style space was one of the first restaurants to lead the regeneration of Granary Square when it opened four years ago. Once a rather barren landscape behind King’s Cross station, the locale has been transformed by the […]
Paris House already enjoys “an absolutely fantastic setting” in a beautiful Tudor building within 22 acres of deer park on the Woburn Estate, so news that the grand dining room has been given some TLC and a new menu certainly has us excited to see how this culinary destination has been improved. Chef-Patron Phil Fanning reopened […]
Meat and fish are grilled in a special coal oven at this new restaurant occupying the beautifully restored former Grade II listed ticket office, originally part of Peckham Rye’s train station in the 1930s. Coal Rooms from the entrepreneurs behind the Old Spike Roastery, Camberwell’s Spike + Earl, Peckham restaurant Aside and coffee-based charity Change Please, […]
London offers such a wealth of dining that you probably wouldn’t be able to visit every single restaurant in your lifetime. The attempt would certainly be a noble pursuit, but also a bankruptcy-inducing one (unless you have Mariana Trench-deep pockets). So we’ve rounded-up a more manageable goal – the top 25 dishes to try at […]
Harden’s and London’s incomparable temple of Gallic gastronomy, Le Gavroche, have joined forces once again to host a unique culinary event, exclusive to Harden’s readers. Unfortunately this one-off evening is now sold out, with every ticket snapped up within just 4.5 hours of their release! Please do keep an eye out for more upcoming Harden’s […]
This week the Observer’s Jay Rayner waxes lyrical about The Garden Museum’s new Garden Cafe in Lambeth, a lovely new space with food to match thanks to the quality in the kitchen. Harry Kaufman and George Ryle have an impressive list of credits between them, including St Johns Bread & Wine, Padella and Primeur… “The Garden Café occupies a sparkling new […]
