I love a hipster restaurant as much as the next foodie. I say foodie as we are the people who enthusiastically drag our unassuming friends into the two hour queue for the best new hybrid cuisine; sitting on uncomfortable stools in a dark, noisy, cramped room. The food is served a breath after your order… Read More Galvin La Chapelle
My new East London hipster/awesome job leads me ‘out of office’ two days a week.

The food culture in London is snowballing, it is… Read More Squid Kitchen

I kept hearing about it but hadn’t got myself down to Brixton, but that doesn’t matter because Mama Lan came to me, opening in Dalston in 2015. They are also in Stratford, Clapham and soon to be in Shoreditch. I met my friends for an early meal I… Read More Mama Lan
A Sunday roast, one of the few traditional meals that most of us Brits have enjoyed at home as well as our local pub.

My on going addiction to Pho Mile has left me with blind to other Vietnamese restaurants anywhere else in London. My thought process leads me directly to Hoxton as soon as I’m in the mood for Pho.
