Promising seasonal British dining in the heart of Clapham, I chose the Manor as the venue for a meal with a school friend based in the area. A food-led but very approachable and contemporary little bar and bistro, the Manor is renowned for offering dishes that surprise but delight. And this would be a challenge … Continue reading The Manor

Beany Green and Timmy Green
Beany Green's 30-seater flagship cafe in Broadgate Circle promises a “distinctive blend of Aussie coffee, bold healthy food, and unique street art”. It’ll only take you a walk outside, and a look at the colourful, cheeky pop-art window decorations, to realise they’re not doing things by halves. As well as having branches at Paddington and … Continue reading Beany Green and Timmy Green

Situated in the central location of Marylebone, Pachamama's spirit, although inspired by the culinary traditions of Peru, simultaneously makes the most … Continue reading Pachamama
M1lk
From the outside, M1lk looks like a work-in-progress, with the name splashed in neon pink paint across the old “Almas” signature. Yet, nestled in this unassuming corner between Bedford Hill and Hildreth Street Market, is one of London’s finest brunch spots. And for me, its South London location – just a stone’s throw away from … Continue reading M1lk
Merchants Tavern
Situated in Shoreditch, on the cusp of the City, Merchants Tavern marries hipster East London with an old-world charm. Housed within a former Victorian warehouse, the Tavern is cavernous, but the space is well-divided into an intimate bar area fitted out with art-deco furnishings; a smart dining room featuring wooden panelling, leather armchairs, a vast … Continue reading Merchants Tavern
