It seems that this summer outside is the place to be. Perhaps restaurants are taking a leaf out of the Ivy Chelsea Garden’s book (which opened in March to many oohs and aahs from not just the Sloane set but Marina O’Laughlin and Grace Dent too) as venue after venue launches its own verdant outdoor […]
Bringing a touch of the beach to London this summer is Burger Shack at The Windmill in Clapham.

He’s probably this country’s most consistent celebrity chef. From Pollen Street Social to (most recently) City Social, Jason Atherton’s restaurants are always a safe bet for “flavour popping” cuisine and “incredibly attentive” service, as far as our 2015 survey reporters are concerned. Today (13 May) the chef-turned-restaurateur steps across the Pond opening his first restaurant […]

And we’re not talking about any old chains either. Among the […]
The craft beer revolution has taken London by storm. But while we are partial to a pale ale or a porter, how much do we really know about the art of brewing or pairing beer with food? Pennethorne’s Cafe Bar at Somerset House, has teamed up with London brewery, CRATE, to offer monthly masterclasses. Tomorrow […]
Steve Love’s Birmingham canal-side venture into fine dining is to close on 31 May after six years. Though Loves has always been “difficult to find” it was considered well worth the extra effort by our reporters for “first-class” cuisine that’s “inventive without being faddish”. The “outstanding” list of drinks “from UK-centric bubbles to local liqueurs” was […]
