Review – The Red Lion & Sun

8.5/10, Fatthomas, Review

April 20, 2015/By fatthomas

Review – Bao

8.5/10, Fatthomas, Review

April 13, 2015/By fatthomas

Bao is so goddamn cute. Everything is tiny! The mugs, teapots, plates and of course the steamed buns. Without their ceremonial gentleness the staff behind the counter might just break the intricate clayware and...

6/10, Micro-Review, Review

April 6, 2015/By fatthomas

Review – Señor Ceviche

8/10, Review

February 28, 2015/By fatthomas

Who doesn't hate Carnaby Street? Answer: Out-of-Towners, and I am not talking about the awful movie with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn. The absurdity of London's century old infrastructure coping with 10 million tube and...

February 15, 2015/By fatthomas

You need to eat a lot of burgers to know what a good burger is. A great quote for my gravestone, if I decide to have one. I am not planning on making a...

Review – Duke’s Brew & Que

7.5/10, Micro-Review, Review

January 9, 2015/By fatthomas

Another greasy finger joint and probably not worth an exhaustive review - not at least because of its similarity to so many other great London BBQ venues. But without a doubt some of the...

Review – Burger & Lobster

8/10, Micro-Review, Review

December 16, 2014/By fatthomas

After my recent journey through the London Lobster Shacks, Kitchens and Sheds I came to a rather obvious conclusion: Burger & Lobster is still better than everything else. By a stretch. The one and...

Review – Spuntino

8/10, Review

November 26, 2014/By fatthomas

I have never left Spuntino not drunk. This is a fact of life just like creepy pimps on Rupert Street or drinking pints in the freezing cold in Soho. And I like it. Another fact...
