Healthy (well nearly) brunch at Feya, Marylebone: Who says looks aren’t everything? In the last few years, food outlets have gone from being from being super snooty about customers taking photos of their food to actively encouraging the process with specifically designed dishes being Instagram friendly. Chef Zahra Khan, a graduate of Gordon Ramsay’s Tante […]
Art Afternoon Tea at The Rosewood Hotel, London
Fine Art in Food at The Rosewood Hotel: One of my first jobs in London was based on High Holborn so I remember when The Rosewood Hotel was home to Pearl Assurance Company. I had a definite case of Office Envy – I did work in Financial Services but our location was nothing like as opulent. Designed […]
Photo London with an exclusive lunch at The Delaunay
Photo London and the Delaunay: I love Christopher Corbin and Jeremy King’s restaurants. There is an old-world professionalism about them that that makes me deeply happy. They take classic European models mediated through a contemporary London lens and have created a series of great rooms with an individual sense of style and an energy, furnishing […]
La Ferme Primrose Hill – Restaurant and Champagne Bar

Mac and Wild – a taste of Scotland in London
Scottish Food in London – Mac and Wild I’ve recently returned from a few wonderful days in Scotland visiting Loch Ness and the Isle of Skye; admiring the beautiful scenery, enjoying the soft light, long days, doing a little walking and eating some lovely food. So a trip to Mac and Wild, a Scottish Restaurant […]
Inko Nito Soho – Review
Inko Nito restaurant – a hit in Soho For any observer of the upmarket London restaurant scene, chef and restaurateur Rainer Becker is a major player.

The Delaunay Pre-Theatre Dinner
Pre-Theatre Dining at the Delaunay: The Delaunay is an excellent choice for a pre-theatre dinner partly due to its location on the corner of Aldwych and Drury Lane. Both streets are in the centre of London’s West End theatre district and most venues are but a short walk from the restaurant. As luck would have […]
