Japanese Restaurant and Sake Bar in Holborn – The Azuki Room Each month, the team at London Unattached chooses a newly opened restaurant to feature as our Restaurant of the Month. We love the thrill of those first weeks when everything is shiny and promising. Oftentimes, the eatery becomes a stellar hit, and we have […]
Humble Grape Bow Lane
Wining and dining to the sound of Bow Bells Independent wine-bar chain Humble Grape has recently opened their seventh venue, a combination of wine bar, wine shop and restaurant. This time they’ve taken over a very special location – the 11th-century crypt of St Mary-le-Bow in Cheapside. History and church architecture buffs will love being […]
Humble Grape (Liverpool Street)
Extensive and interesting wine list in an unpretentious setting It is an unfortunate fact that the world of wine is often (and usually not unfairly!) perceived as an elitist and, let’s be honest, snooty world where those in the know look down their nose at the ignorance or “uncultured” palate of those who have little […]
The Circus Afternoon Tea – Vintry & Mercer Hotel
The Vintry & Mercer Circus afternoon tea is a high-quality, thoughtful and delicious tea, and I really enjoyed sharing it with my son. It was a lovely, colourful treat on a wintry day. The service was excellent, and the place was relaxed. After we finished, I went up to the hotel’s beautiful roof terrace, where they serve the Crown Afternoon Tea, to take in the view of London rooftops and St Paul’s Cathedral.
CORD by Le Cordon Bleu – Festive Menu
A calm, elegant escape for festive fine dining in the heart of London It’s December, and London is glowing with fairy lights, busy with shoppers and filled with the clink of glasses from office Christmas parties. Yet even with all the festive buzz, I hadn’t really slipped into the mood for seasonal dining until now. […]
Vintry and Mercer Magic Afternoon Tea
The Magic Afternoon Tea at Vintry & Mercer offers a traditional spread laced with sleight of hand and showmanship, designed to delight both adults and wide-eyed children alike.
Liverpool Street Chop House and Tavern
I’m planning to go back to the Liverpool Street Chop House and Tavern. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy excellent-quality, carefully prepared food, but it’s also where you might relax with friends or family. It’s unpretentious without losing any of the quality. A great reminder of the values that made the Conran group so great, it’s a return to the vision of simple, functional beauty.
Enjoy your game at The Jugged Hare
London-unattached has previously expressed the team’s admiration for The Jugged Hare, the excellent game restaurant at the edge of the City, sitting conveniently across the road from London’s Barbican Arts Centre. As the evenings start to draw in and the salads of summer are replaced with autumn’s richer, comfort foods, don’t forget that late summer still offers many highlights. The question is, with the annual shooting season underway, are you game for grouse?
Game Season and the Jugged Hare
The Jugged Hare has long been one of my favourite London game restaurants. In the shadow of the brutalist Barbican Centre, it has the easy warmth of a country pub, and despite being in the heart of the City, it serves the kind of seasonal British produce that makes it a standout.
An afternoon tea with a view at Sabine Rooftop Bar
Summer is a great time of year for indulging in an alfresco afternoon tea. If you are looking for a delicious afternoon tea with a fabulous view, head to Sabine Rooftop Bar near St Paul’s Cathedral. This luxurious rooftop terrace has an incredible view of St Paul’s Cathedral and The City.
