Having spent years supplying London’s top restaurants through their separate wine businesses, Joe Haynes and Benedict Butterworth have joined forces with Tom Hurst, who has worked at Brawn, The Marksman, Levan, and most recently as Head Chef at Lasdun, to launch the trio’s first restaurant together.Located in a Grade II listed building on Cloth Fair, Cloth Restaurant is part of a historic row of buildings in the City of London that survived the Great Fire of 1666. Down this atmospheric alley opposite St Bartholomew church, Cloth is taking over a double fronted corner site that’s beneath the former home of poet John Betjeman and next door to the two oldest residential buildings in London. Inside, low ceilings, wood floorboards with antique wall lights and artwork create a cosy, intimate atmosphere, while marble tables, long dark wood banquettes, antique crockery and cutlery will create the feel of a classic bistro.

• Gastro Pub • Chelsea

The Fox & Pheasant is a little “country” pub tucked away in a small corner of Chelsea. The pub was founded in 1846 and it began its life as the Bedford Arms. Ten years later it changed to the Prince of Wales and in 1965 became The Fox & Pheasant and we have no intention of changing its name again!Not only are we a snug pub in the winter with 3 fire places, a dartboard and dog biscuits for the well behaved companions (dogs)! We are lucky enough to be able to wind back our roof in the conservatory for those long summer lunches to. Alongside our a la carte menu we have a bar snack menu that not only runs all day, everyday but also contains such pub classics. Roasts run all day on a Sunday and we guarantee to make sure you will always have ample spuds, gravy and yorkies!

    The Surprise was a wonderful place to enjoy our last dinner in London. The staff were so efficient and friendly and genuinely interested in their patrons. The menu was a delicious array of both farm and seafood. A good selection for those needing gluten free options too. Make sure you book as it fills up quickly and we went on a Tuesday evening. Wish we had a local like this in New Zealand!

    First time visiting both London and the Gaucho in 10 years; brought some friends for a birthday celebration. I ordered the Lomo (which was cooked to perfection, medium rare) with bearnaise, a side of chips and two scoops of some of the richest ice cream I’ve ever had for dessert. Our server topped off the evening for us by surprising the man of the hour with a special celebratory cheesecake complete with birthday wishes spelled out in chocolate drizzle. An extraordinarily delightful experience at the Gaucho just like I remember all those years ago that I’d happily recommend to anyone, any time!
