Nest – Review 

January 15, 2018 by Adrian York Leave a Comment

Nest – Review 

Three men in a Nest… Imagine three young men having a beer or three. Two have just lost their jobs and the third is a chef with Fulham’s Michelin starred pub The Harwood Arms listed on his CV. They reach that dangerous point in the evening when one of them cries out “Let’s start our own […]

City Spice – Review

City Spice – Review

East End Curries for West End Boys Over the last few years, I’ve reviewed and visited a number of the new wave of Indian restaurants. The food is often lighter and more fusion based than traditional curry houses. But sometimes you yearn for an old-school curry so I was delighted to be asked to review […]

Via Emilia – Regional Italian in London

Via Emilia – Regional Italian in London

Visiting Emilia Romagna without leaving London – Via Emilia: It is some time since I visited ‘In Parma‘ – a small Italian restaurant in Fitzrovia where you can enjoy a simple menu of pasta, meats and cheeses from Parma in Italy – while drinking fizzy red lambrusco from bowls as it would be served in Italy.  […]

Fodder at Borough Wines, Brewery Below

Fodder at  Borough Wines, Brewery Below

Definitely NOT just another popup – Fodder at Brewery Below: At the moment I am travelling a lot and eating out in London a little less.  But, an invitation to try Fodder was one not to pass up.  Fodder is headed up by ex-Fera chef Michael Thompson joined by fellow Fera alumna Ollie Downey.  The […]

Martello Hall – restaurant review

April 7, 2017 by Raphael Korber Hoffman Leave a Comment

Martello Hall – restaurant review

Gentrification in Hackney has moved on from being an exciting programme of urban regeneration to somewhat of a cliché. Whilst the clientele at Martello Hall are admittedly likely to be discussing their travels in Emilia-Romagna over a Hazelnut Espresso Martini this is also a friendly family establishment for all. First opening its doors just 3 […]

Tasting Menu at The Frog

October 1, 2016 by Fiona Maclean Leave a Comment

Tasting Menu at The Frog

Adam Handling’s ‘The Frog’ For the most part, fine dining is still something to experience in a quiet, immaculately decorated room.  White linen tablecloths, carefully chosen china and shiny, matching cutlery.  Hushed voices discussing the merits of Margaux over Pomerol with an attentive sommelier on hand to advise.  And, not a chef to be seen, […]

Aye Aye Admiral – lunch at the Trafalgar Tavern

Aye Aye Admiral – lunch at the Trafalgar Tavern

The Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich: Greenwich is one of those London ‘villages’ that has as much attraction for the locals as it does for tourists.  It’s one of my favourite places to take visitors to London; catch a boat from Westminster Pier eastwards and enjoy the scenery along the banks of the Thames (and the crew’s […]

Brunching like a Hipster at Wringer and Mangle

Brunching like a Hipster at Wringer and Mangle

Wringer & Mangle in London Fields: I have an underlying belief that anywhere I review can’t possibly be that hip.  Even if, like Wringer & Mangle it has all the trappings.  A large space, once a commercial laundry, has been made over in East London Hipster fashion, with bare walls, reclaimed furniture and all those […]

Champagne and Fromage in Greenwich

August 27, 2015 by Fiona Maclean 4 Comments

Champagne and Fromage in Greenwich

Whistlestop Lunch in Greenwich at Champagne & Fromage: I had great intentions to spend some time in Greenwich.  It’s somewhere I haven’t been for many, many years and somewhere that is often overlooked by visitors to London.  On the map it looks just a little far away from the centre of town.  Once upon a […]

Tapas Revolution – Shoreditch

Tapas Revolution – Shoreditch

Spanish in Shoreditch – Tapas Revolution: I first met Omar Allibhoy at an Olives from Spain event.  He was up on stage cooking – with a faulty induction hob and a very short period of time to demonstrate Spanish Cuisine.  Cheerful in the face of adversity, he produced delicious dishes which were scoffed in an […]

  • April 12th  - National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day

    The USA celebrates National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day on April 12th.   Well, why not?   Regarded as one of the top comfort foods in America, the version we eat today originated in the 1920s when sliced bread and American cheese became easily available.  

    image

    Of course, those of you from the USA and those of you wishing to join the celebrations can do so in London!  Head for the glamorous art-deco inspired Colony Grill at the Beaumont Hotel and you’ll find the menu offers a Grilled Cheese sandwich with Dill Pickle, perfect for National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day.  While you are there, enjoy a cocktail or three - and perhaps a couple of other American classics - we love the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and perhaps Bananas Foster flambeed in dark rum for dessert. 

    Enjoy!
