A Pop Up usually makes Nick, like Goering, reach for his revolver. Adam Simmond’s pop-up however is shot through with some smart ideas.

Located in Wimbledon Village, Fire Stables has recently re-opened following extensive renovation by Youngs to give it a new timeless, classic feel.

We get our heads around a Malbec that’s been waiting ten years to meet the meat at Gaucho.

Chloe overloads on her starters but finds the refurbed Coach And Horses is doing pub grub for the masses well and only needs a few tweaks to do better.

A Modern European restaurant in North London that served me a great final meal ahead of my impending switch to being a Vegan.

STK does what it does well, it’s not a classic steakhouse it’s next generation and aimed squarely at a specific target market. The prices are on the high side, this special deal aside, but that is part of the attraction – it keeps out the backpackers and street food fans.

Following the success of May Fair Kitchen and Monmouth Kitchen, Leicester Square Kitchen is the third restaurant from Edwardian Hotels. Based in the center of London, it offers contemporary small dishes based on the unique, vibrant and fresh flavours of Mexico and Peru.

It has a brewing history dating back 350 years, and once supplied the Royal Hospital’s Pensioners with their three-pints-a-day ration, now Young’s has reinvented The Old Brewery in Greenwich.

Curveball certainly has confidence; its web address is plural already. Nick finds that the first one to open has done its homework on what youngish Balhamites will like to eat.

Anyone who is brave enough to create a three course meal entirely from offal and make it taste good is clearly passionate about what they do, and Chloe looks forward to seeing what they come up with next.
