We have been big fans of Temper restaurant since they opened their doors in Soho. A BBQ restaurant with a South American influence serving up amazing dishes; it’s all about meat and boy do they know how to cook it! We were naturally very excited to hear they had opened a second branch in the …
In wild contradiction to our recent bargain pasta dinner, that same week we also had the pleasure of dining at Oblix, one of several restaurants in London’s Shard – polar opposites to L’Artigiano. The whole experience of dining in The Shard is special; it’s a meal for a special occasion with a price tag reserved …

Elldrew have been on a bit of an immersive experience in the first half of 2017. We’ve eaten our way through the Chambers of Flavour , escaped a bank vault in under an hour and most recently attended Secret Cinema’s latest instalment: Moulin Rouge. We’re sworn to secrecy so can’t really tell you anything about …
