The Butcher & Grill – Cheap steak in Battersea

The Butcher & Grill – Cheap steak in Battersea

Posted on December 23, 2012 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

I confess I’m playing catch-up on reviews but luckily the Butcher and Grill stuck in my mind so I feel justified writing this a few months afterwards. Basically, try this place out for the Monday steak deals where steak and chips are just a tenner. Not too shabby right? The steak itself was a decent … Continue reading →

Hawksmoor Guildhall – An education in Beef

Posted on December 23, 2012 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Hawksmoor. It’s rarely been doubted that the guys behind the two previous locations have been turning out some of the best steaks this side of Argentina. And now they’ve opened a third location just a stone’s throw from Bank station. So what makes it special? A tasting menu and in true Hawksmoor fashion it’s all … Continue reading →

Babylon – A restaurant literally above them all

Posted on December 21, 2012 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Like the city of old, Babylon stands towering over London as an example of civilisation. And as it’s namesake did, the building stretches up past its neighbours to reach for the heavens. Although in London, this feat only requires 6 or 7 floors. Babylon is the bar/restaurant located on the 7th floor of a building … Continue reading →

Evans & Peel Detective Agency – A classy drinking hole if you have an appointment!

Posted on December 21, 2012 by themotleyspicer • 1 Comment

This is an epically overdue review and for that I am truly sorry Evans & Peel. Please don’t shoot me. I made my way down to Earl’s Court to meet some Yelpers for a quiet drink in one of London’s newer speakeasies.  Unlike most of the ones that have popped up in town, this one … Continue reading →

Joe Allen – Lots of history, little taste

Posted on December 18, 2012 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Epic burger fail! Intrigued by the great experience Dan H has with the BurgerMonday event hosted by Young & Foodish at Joe Allen, I added it to my burger shortlist. And when the Champagne & Fromage Elite event was right around the corner, this seemed like a perfect time to give it a go. I … Continue reading →

Workshop Coffee – Excellent Joe, cheap prices, and french toast!

Posted on December 17, 2012 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

The finest espresso in all the land I don’t quite get the name but I’m always up for a cup of coffee from Workshop Coffee. Formerly St. Ali’s, Workshop may have reinvented itself a bit but it’s kept all the things I’ve come to know and love about this spot. The coffee remains top notch … Continue reading →

Dinner – Best Birthday (Meal) Ever!

Posted on December 17, 2012 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Dinner at Dinner. I’m sure I’m not the only one who enjoys saying that and then giggling like a little schoolgirl. You do have to grow up a bit to feel at home in the uber-posh setting of both the Mandarin Oriental hotel and Dinner itself. Although it feels like the little sister to the … Continue reading →

Poppies – Best Fish on Chips on the East Side?

Posted on December 16, 2012 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

What could be more British than fish & chips? Despite the fact that it’s battered and deep fried and served up with a side of chips that puts the term “Super-size” to shame, you can’t help but crave it. And when such a craving strikes, there are few better places than Poppies to go to. … Continue reading →

Merkato – “E” on the Alphabet Dining Challenge

Posted on December 16, 2012 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Merkato is a cosy little Ethiopian restaurant tucked away in the forbidden lands north of Kings Cross. This was my first time up this far North and I can’t say I would have ventured there if not for it being one of the best Ethiopian restaurants on Yelp. If you are waiting for friends or dining … Continue reading →
