We'd been wondering what would happen to Roji omakase bar, since chefs Tamas Naszai and Tomoko Hasegawa moved over to open the excellent Himi in Carnaby - and now we know. Next door to Chisou in Mayfair, Roji won't be relaunching as an omakase bar. Instead, much like Himi, it's going to become a little less high-end and reopen as Noren sake and sushi bar. Now, it will have an a la carte approach, with a drinks list of sake, shochu, wine and beer alongside.

You'll see Rick Stein restaurants all over Padstow, but at the moment his only London outpost is in Barnes (a notably great restaurant for riverside dining). But if you fancy trying the chef's dishes in a little more of a central location, it might be worth checking out the special Rick Stein menu that Fortnum's are putting on at their Royal Exchange outpost. It's all to celebrate 50 years of The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, which is quite the milestone.
