A London Journal

Resto #3, The Wharf, South Bank

Good fish at The Wharf on the South Bank plus Vanessa Redgrave getting agitated over a self-inflicted mic problem.

Resto #2, Kanada-Ya

Beats Shoryu round the corner for broth and peace. Oh, and dry humping.

Annie’s Burger Shack – First restaurant of 2017

Good burgers, cracking football.

Restaurants of 2016 – the round up

A round up of the best and the worst of 2016. Le Voltaire takes top prize but who will be the stinker?

Review #111 Rowley’s, St James’s

Chequers, gin, beef, conviviality with a smattering of Stewart Lee, Mark E Smith and Torture Garden. Three hours of pure pleasure.

Review #112 Rotunda, Kings Cross

To be honest I was flagging by the time the steak turned up and it was with less of a bang than a whimper that I consumed the last meal of 2017.

Review #110 North Sea Fish Restaurant, Bloomsbury

Last night a fish bar saved my life. Well, kind of.

Review #109 National Gallery Café, Trafalgar Square

All those stick balancing Yoda scroungers ,now transformed by the Magic of Christmas into rapacious aerial Santas, make a mockery of the imperial pomposity of the Square's original plan far more effectively than Shrigley's tragic waste of bronze could ever do.
