Serendipitously coinciding with Oktoberfest, the latest Herman ze German outpost opens in Fitzrovia’s Charlotte Street next week. This is the chain’s third London site. The original opened just off the Strand in 2010, followed by a second shop in Soho, in 2013. Herman ze German serves up traditional sausages, but offers gluten and lactose-free Bratwurst, Chilli […]
Gaucho certainly seems to be having a hand in shaping the restaurateurs of the future.

Grace Dent eats humble pie – and burgers – at Bobo Social The Evening Standard reviewer is forced to admit she judged this posh burger concept by its cover. Pop-ups in very poor taste?
