Review – Kitchen Table
8/10, Fatthomas, ReviewWe lost a good man's youth on Saturday. Having to face his fifth decade my friend Tom did the only decent thing a self-respecting Londoner can do - book an entire Michelin Star Restaurant...

Fino – A Love Story
10/10, Fatthomas, ReviewAfter a prolonged spell of introspection on how to approach an overdue column on my favorite restaurants my pondering came to a somewhat surprising and poignant conclusion. My affair with eating throughout my electoral...
Review – Chiltern Firehouse
5.5/10, FatthomasWhen I brag to my friends back home about London's superior food scene I mostly refer to the fact that eating in the capital is better, smarter and more liberal than in any other...
Tarragon and Mustard Chicken
Fatthomas, RecipeWeekday cooking can be a drag, especially if you have a demanding job. The likes of Nigel Slater have always been helpful in finding honest and quick alternatives to your local take-away. This favorite...
Meatball Pasta
Fatthomas, RecipeWhen we got our first freezer my Mum began buying immense amounts of minced beef and frozen fish. It was the 80's so who can blame her. I fondly remember her Knorr Bolognese with...
Review – Lyle’s
8/10, Fatthomas, ReviewAt first sight Lyle's in Shoreditch actually looks and feels like the kind of restaurant that I don't like. A loud and overly bright open-plan, brick walled hall bearing comparison to a train station....
Tuna Sliders
Fatthomas, RecipeLiving near Holloway Road can be a bit daunting. Technically you are in a prime location, Islington on your Council Tax Bill (ouch), less than twenty minutes from Soho with beautiful Hampstead Heath to...
Review – The Red Lion & Sun
8.5/10, Fatthomas, ReviewI'm not sure how to put this without sounding erroneously negative, but The Red Lion & Sun should not exist. Not in Central London and not a forty-five minute walk from dreadful three-laned Euston...
Review – Harwood Arms
6/10, Micro-Review, ReviewFor an ordinary Londoner the Michelin awarded Harwood Arms can be an odd experience. As somebody who is used to the colorful mix of people in the capital I was slightly bewildered by the...
Review – Lima Floral
7.5/10, Micro-Review, ReviewOne day I have to go to Central in Peru and eat Virgilio Martinez' dishes right where they were first created. The London outposts of Lima and Lima Floral are offering remakes of the...
Review – The Manor
9/10, ReviewOh my! The Manor is phenomenal. Not since my first visit to the Fat Duck or Barrafina have I had a meal so joyous and life affirming. And of all places, it is in...
Review – Kitty Fisher’s
8/10, ReviewKitty Fisher's pervades with fading memories of a foregone era. Not only simply in name it shares its identity with the prominent 18th century British courtesan, an audacious It Girl and temporary companion of...
Review – Blanchette
9/10, ReviewWhen writing negative reviews I often question my subjectivity - am I just grumpy? Was I just unlucky? Will my tiny, unimportant blog have a negative impact beyond its humble intentions? Am I just...
Review – Heddon Street Kitchen
7/10, ReviewI sensed a slight amount of reluctance ahead of my visit to Heddon Street Kitchen. My only previous visit to a Gordon Ramsey Restaurant was Maze many years ago - 2009, still with Atherton...
Review – Crocker’s Folly
6/10, ReviewArek Bober - formerly from Pollen Street Social - is heading this impressively renovated gastropub in a quiet St. John's Wood residential street. Although originally a 19th century hotel and until recently a family...
Review – Pond Dalston
8/10, ReviewAloha!
Before going to newly opened Pond I never had Hawaiian food before, I think. It speaks of London's amazing food culture that instead of trying this somewhere in the Pacific I ended up having...
Review: Mission Wine Bar and Kitchen
3/10, ReviewSager & Wilde's second wine bar in Shoreditch opened recently with a focus on new Californian grapes. I was quite excited ahead of this but bitterly disappointed with the experience despite the very interesting...
