It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me that I love a good steak – why else would I drag myself out of bed to get to Smithfields and carry home a few kilos of prime rib eye? Luckily, London has been fairly blessed but a number of top notch steakhouses from Hawksmoor to Goodman … Continue reading

Review: Sticks’n’Sushi Canary Wharf
Work has been pretty brutal lately and as a result cut into my spare time to eat and write up reviews. But luckily we’ve had a slew of visitors in the last month which means a great opportunity to organise team lunches and try out some of the (relatively) new places in Crossrail Canary Wharf. … Continue reading
Review: SuperStar BBQ
SuperStar BBQ is one of the newest Asian restaurant upgrades to hit the London streets, slotting in neatly with Ippudo and Kanada-Ya. Whether by plan or just a twist of fate, it’s the replacement to the old rundown cheap and cheerful Korean restaurants that used to be hidden behind Tottenham Court Road. But there’s nothing … Continue reading
Review: Grillstock 2015
This past weekend, I headed down to Grillstock courtesy of Jack Daniels. Grillstock is a hybrid BBQ competition and country/blue grass music festival which is never more apparent than when you walk in. On one side, you’ve got a long row of food stalls culminating in the BBQ prep and judging area where a number … Continue reading
Review: Fire Station Waterloo
The new Fire Station is just like the old Fire Station except much much better. I didn’t care for the old fairly boring pub, but this new incarnation is pretty brilliant. The décor has been scaled back to a classier finish and utilises some elements of the original working fire station (including a coat rack … Continue reading
Review: Crab Tavern Broadgate
Crab Tavern is on the leading edge of the latest food trend to hit the city. Lobsters have come and (mostly) gone from the limelight but it seems the thought is to capitalise on our love of shellfish by moving just a little bit further along. Located as part of the new Broadgate Circle food … Continue reading
Review: Big Fernand London
Burgers have been a hot topic for the last year or two and London has benefitted from a wealth of pretty tasty joints. The French have now got in on the action and brought over a successful ‘amburger recipe in the form of Big Fernand. I was fortunate to drop by one of the Paris … Continue reading
Review: Grill on the Market
The Grill on the Market has been on my list to try ever since I missed the Yelp event there. As the name implies, it’s right on the edge of Smithfield Market (where else would you site a meat-centric place?). The entry is set up as a bar/bistro with some small tables and booths but … Continue reading
Review: The Joint Marylebone
The other day, I joined a hilarious group of fellow food bloggers to try out a new BBQ place in Marylebone called The Joint. As a disclaimer, I was a guest of Kapranos PR for the event. That being said, I would have happily paid for almost everything we tried out that night. The Joint … Continue reading
Review: Smack Lobster
There have been a slew of lobster joints opening up in London with Fraq’s Lobster Shack joining Lobster Kitchen in a couple of weeks. But first I headed to Smack Lobster which is the newest spot from the guys behind Goodman and Burger & Lobster. Geared towards those dropping in for a casual bite rather … Continue reading
