The city has always been a bit of an alien place for me, within Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Bank lies the no go triangle, unless you are employed to do so. The Kitty Hawk finds me with a reason to venture in, with the call of coffee, freshly made pastries and all day dining. After… Read More The Kitty Hawk
It seems that my posts are becoming meatier by the day as I convinced my other half to book Hawksmoor for breakfast, based on their ‘Full English breakfast for two’… Smoked bacon chop, sausages, (made with pork, beef, & mutton), black pudding, short-rib bubble and squeak, grilled bone marrow, trotter baked beans, fried eggs, grilled… Read More Hawksmoor breakfast

Summer is almost upon us and the evenings are lighter, we can sit outside, albeit wrapped up in our coats. No more squinting in candle light discussing what we may or may not be eating, we can appreciate venues which are; light and airy, with high ceilings and huge windows. Foodies continue to flock to… Read More Paradise Garage
Walking to Pidgin reminded me of my love of East London, you cut down an unassuming back street passing Violets a fantastic little bakery that has made quite a name for itself using such a small space so productively. A little further along is Borough Wines, still open with dim lights casting a shadow on… Read More Pidgin
Corner Room restaurant hidden away in the Town Hall hotel in Bethnal Green. This cosy looking restaurant appealed to us, Nuno mendes being named as the head chef (think he is probably a little busy at Chiltern Fire House and his new restaurant Vigante but never the less) we ventured over. The Town Hall hotel… Read More Corner Room
