Ell, a born and bred North Londoner, has seen his fair share of local pubs come and go with the whims of fashion and the in-crowd. Nowhere more so than in Steeles village, Haverstock Hill, once home to the achingly trendy and celeb packed Haverstock Arms and equally notorious Hill. But whilst they may have come …
This delicious Japanese garlic fried rice recipe has become an Elldrew favourite during lockdown. We prefer to make too much so that we have leftovers but, be warned, it’s garlicky, but like any dish, you can reduce the amount of garlic if you plan on kissing anyone that night! To make any fried rice you …
This has to be one of Elldrew’s favourite Korean dishes; it’s simple to prepare, even simpler to cook, and is packed with delicious flavours. Say hello to Korean Bulgogi. A popular dish in Korea, with Bulgogi seen on most Korean restaurants’ menus, this dish is made up of thinly sliced beef soaked in a mouth-watering …
When it comes to a simple, delicious, Spring/Summer pasta dish, our go-to is Lemon Basil Pasta. Once you’ve incorporated the base ingredients, suitable with most types of pasta, you can pimp your dish and add in your other favourite ingredients (ours is tomato and rocket).

A newcomer to the restaurant scene, Heritage is London’s first modern-Swiss inspired restaurant and bar located in Rupert Street, Soho.
Elldrew think that the last time they saw the back corner of Kings Cross (the bit between the gas holders and the canal) was over a decade ago, in the early hours of a Sunday morning, on their way home from a misspent evening at one of the legendary nightclubs that used to occupy that …
Continuing our recent ‘small dishes’ dining trend (influenced by the culinary world of course), next up was Indian tapas, Lokhandwala, in Fitzrovia. A small restaurant, we loved the décor, even with a juxtaposition of baroque styling against an Indian menu. It made sense once we had learnt of Lady Charlotte Louisa Fitzrovia and how she rocked Victorian …
The Hill, The Load of Hay, and now The Belrose – Elldrew’s most local of locals has been through many incarnations in the past few years, so this weekend we got to visit the latest, as part of its soft opening.
