The food was beautifully cooked, if a little bland in places and the ingredients were fresh and tasty, but the service can make or break a place and in this case we felt A Room In had missed the boat.  

Rosa’s Thai seem a bit afraid of the chilli, my crispy squid has one small piece of semi dried chilli which itself seems to be dead as far as heat goes. This is a shame as the squid itself, while not being all that crispy, has come enrobed in a grease free batter and is tender and tasty. 

Anita Pati reviews London’s Damn Good Curry supperclub.

A kind of theme bar, McQueen in Shoreditch is named after the craggy actor (“Steve’s” wouldn’t have quite the same effect). Style wise, we’re talking tobacco-dyed Chesterfields vying with mirrors and gilt to outdo the 70s chic

Poppy Laking braves late summer sunshine and a speeding Lamborghini to try Arkady Novikov’s newest London venture on one of London’s most famous roads

The quest for the perect burger is a never-ending saga. There’s a really good effort being served up at trendy Rotary Bar & Diner.

The D & D restaurants are all a bit different in style, but all seem to aim at being somewhere to rely on, whether it’s towards the high end at Cog d’Argent or a little bit touristy like the Butlers Wharf Chop House.  Fish Market seems to be swimming right in the middle.

Truffle-loving to the maximum at the rather fine establishment of Tartufo

The Dysart Arms is an old arts and crafts style pub that’s a pub no longer. Like so many it found it couldn’t survive on beer alone and so has changed hands and gone gourmet. A resulting internal refurb suffers a bit from the curse of Farrow & Ball, but they’ve resisted the temptation to paint absolutely everything cream. This means that it doesn’t feel like you’re sitting in branch of Daylesford Organic, a place that sends me into a frenzy of hatred even just thinking about it.
