A Restaurant with a View in Wandsworth – View 94: Wandsworth is not known as restaurant destination so I was excited to be asked along to review View 94 a Modern European Restaurant & Lounge with a terrific aspect onto the banks of the Thames. You’ll have to take my word for that as it was dark […]
North Indian Restaurant in South Kensington – Thali
Thali – A hidden gem in South Kensington: South Kensington isn’t somewhere that immediately springs to mind for good Indian food. In fact, when I lived down the road, in West Brompton, I despaired of finding a good Indian restaurant and instead used to visit Taiwan Village to indulge in hot, spicy Taiwanese dishes. If […]

Mustard – Review
Spicing up Shepherd’s Bush – Mustard: I’ve been invited to review a brand new West London brasserie called Mustard.

Potli isn’t posh, it’s the kind of place you’d like to find round the corner from where you live, somewhere to pop in on a regular basis. It is, however, very different. What makes it […]
Eating at the Imperial – Chelsea
The Imperial – a Chelsea Fine Dining Pub: Along the Fulham end of the Kings Road used to be something of a no-mans-land. When I first moved to West London, some fifteen years ago, you certainly wouldn’t go there for a night out, or even shop. But, it’s an area which has become increasingly up-market […]
Cottons Caribbean Cool in Notting Hill
Cottons Caribbean Restaurant and Salon de Rhum Notting Hill: The last time I visited 157-159 Notting Hill Gate it was to review Chakra – an excellent upmarket Indian restaurant. Now moved a mile or so away to High Street Kensington, the food there is still delicious. The interior at 157 has changed considerably, there’s a new […]
