The Mortimer Grill
The hinterlands of Oxford Street aren't generally known to the scurrying shoppers and workers, most of whom probably confine their gastro-searches to EAT, Pret and the like when in need of sustenance. More fool them, then for not taking a little time to explore what's right under...Read This Article
London's Credit Crunch Lunch
The credit crunch continues to bite, but that's no reason to stay at home rationing lentils. If you fancy splashing the largesse without diving too deep into your pockets, there are some amazing bargains to be had, even on the Michelin circuit - and it's one way of kick-starting ...Read This Article
Indian Zing
Everyone has an Indian restaurant of some description on their high street these days, although they invariably tend to be the sort that feature prominently on Rogue Restaurants and have to contest Matt Allwright barracking their back gates. The residents of King Street in Hammer...Read This Article
New Kids On The Block
Well, hasn't 2008 been a funny old year? We may be slap-bang in the biggest 'credit crunch' since the Wall Street Crash, but it hasn't stopped the restaurant scene partying like it's 1999. To keep you in the know, we've rounded up some of the new kids on the block (we really must...Read This Article
Number Twelve Restaurant
You would think, with all the up-and-coming development of King’s Cross and Euston that it would be easier than ever to find somewhere decent to eat. You would think. But unless you’re committed to searching the back streets - which still aren’t terribly salubri...Read This Article
Where Have All The Chefs Gone?
You may not have noticed but there has been something of an upset in the world of chefs. In his bid to 'Ramsay-fy' every pub and hotel in London, New York and, seemingly, the world, Gordon has managed to make his cheffy brethren homeless with his buy-out and refurb of the much-lo...Read This Article
Mon Plaisir
Everyone these days pretty much knows the hot places to see and be seen; those places where the glitterati and literati are perfectly at ease in their preferred environment and can safely be found if ever you needed to find one. So it’s easy to forget about those places tha...Read This Article
London's New Breed Of Wine Bars
Let's face it, once you reach a certain age, pubs start to lose whatever appeal they once had. It's hard to find somewhere to have a quiet drink with friends without having to defend your table from the next-door hen party or the leering footie fans and your ears from the deafeni...Read This Article
Haiku
These days we're all terribly concerned about authenticity. To succeed, a restaurant should really only offer the cooking and ingredients of its native country, sourcing locally and seasonally, and naming bits of meat and vegetables alike (provenance, dontcha know?) all over the ...Read This Article
New Wave British Cooking In London
After the horrors of fusion and gastropub-itis, finally British cooking has reached a kind of equilibrium, a balance within itself. There are now a growing number of restaurants out there recognising not only that provenance, sustainability and local and ethical sourcing are the ...Read This Article
Pizza, Traditional and Modern
Pizza is a highly contentious issue. When it comes down to it, you're in one of two camps. Either you're a die-hard traditionalist, espousing the benefits of the thin, blistered crust with simple, minimal toppings - the idea of pineapple on your pizza makes you want to rant to al...Read This Article
Four O Nine
The advent of Trinity (welcome back Adam Byatt) and now Four O Nine shows that Clapham is once more set to be a destination worth a visit from any corner of London. Although it's always been particularly bar-friendly, Clapham has never really provided any serious commitment to mo...Read This Article
Black and Blue
There's a real feel at the moment for the 1970s. A culinary nostalgia for the old classics - you know, a proper prawn cocktail with Iceberg lettuce and a slightly headachey Marie Rose sauce; or Steak Diane with lashing of cream; or even good old Black Forest Gateau (untouched by ...Read This Article
Where To Go For The Best British Breakfasts
Breakfast is officially the new brunch, which was the new lunch, which might have been the new dinner, which is essentially a way of saying you can now eat all day and always be right on trend - hooray! Anyway, what this does mean for all you lucky London-lubbers is that now, mor...Read This Article
The Swan
Chiswick is particularly blessed with shining examples of places to while away a Saturday afternoon.
