HIMI Review | "Best Izakaya in London? Just Might Be"

1 week ago | londontheinside.com | Jules Pearson

The news was softened, however, by the fact that the husband-and-wife team behind Roji, Tamas Naszai and Tomoko Hasegawa, were soon to open HIMI a “Neo-Izakaya” in Carnaby Street a few months later, offering a more casual a la carte menu of sushi and snacks. It’s a bit bigger than the 10 seat Roji, but HIMI is still a charmingly tight space with four window seats, a long kitchen counter bar and a dining room at the rear.
Pyro Review | "Elevated Greek Dishes and One of London’s Best New Outdoor Bars"

1 week ago | londontheinside.com | Jules Pearson

The huge outdoor drinking area is an enviable summer drinking spot, dotted with olive trees, sleek wooden furniture, wicker lamp shades and a bar area shaded with a rough canopy of branches. And that’s just the Garden Bar. At the back is an indoor / outdoor dining room with an open kitchen, which is where you’ll be heading if you’ve booked into the restaurant proper.
Restaurant Sat Bains Review | “Dinner at One of the Best Restaurants in the Country"

1 week ago | londontheinside.com | Jules Pearson

It won its first Michelin star in 2003 and the second in 2011, which it has held ever since. The restaurant is famously located next to A52 flyover in Nottingham, and before we arrived we had visions of eating with cars streaming past the window.
Where to Eat and Drink in Charleston

2 weeks ago | londontheinside.com | Jules Pearson

Sadly, thanks to COVID, it didn’t last long, and with travel to the States significantly down, it doesn’t look likely to return anytime soon. That’s a shame because, as a holiday destination, Charleston really ticks a lot of boxes. There’s fresh seafood, beautiful beaches, hikes, picturesque cobblestone streets, and MAN the houses… along with legendary BBQ, great weather, and excellent restaurants and bars.
Noodle and Beer Chinatown Review | "Perfect Your Pulls at This 3am Date Place"

2 weeks ago | londontheinside.com | Jules Pearson

Given this one is more central, they’ve not only jazzed up the interiors but they’ve also created a bigger, better, more social media savvy menu that interestingly doesn’t feature one single pork dish. Quite a bolshy move for a Chinatown restaurant…. Owner Xiaoxiao Wang, who hails from Sichuan Province, has infused the menu with the riot of spicy flavours that his region of China is known for. But unlike many other Sichuan spots, he’s also added some theatrical gold – literally.
The Kerfield Arms Review | "Another Smash Hit From The Baring Team"

3 weeks ago | londontheinside.com | Jules Pearson

It opened to rave reviews in 2022 and has been perennially booked out for its high-class Sunday roast. And now the team, made up of Adam Symonds, Rob Tecwyn and Jay Styler, have done it again, taking over The Crooked Well in Camberwell and reopening it as The Kerfield Arms (the pub’s original name).
Where to Eat in Berlin

1 month ago | londontheinside.com | Jules Pearson

While the German capital may have been slow off the mark in embracing a diverse culinary landscape, its dining scene is finally picking up speed. Thanks to an ever-growing mix of international influence, spurred by its visa programmes, and a surge of local creativity, Berlin’s dining scene is finally a reason in itself to take a trip to the city.
Tasca at Câv Review | "Spanish-Portuguese Plates and Cocktails in Bethnal Green"

2 months ago | londontheinside.com | Jules Pearson

It’s been set up by Chris Tanner (Dram London), and Edwin Frost, formerly of Half Cut Market and Shoreditch’s Oranj. Having first opened at the start of March, only serving cocktails and drinks, Câv has now welcomed its first kitchen residency, Tasca, from sommelier Sinead Murdoch and her partner Josh Dallaway, who is in charge of the food. As the name hints at, Tasca’s menu is largely influenced by Portugal and Spain.
William IV, Surrey Review | "Take a Trip to Little London for a Perfect Pub Lunch"

2 months ago | londontheinside.com | Jules Pearson

Catching one of those early spring March days recently, we hopped on the train out to the Surrey Hills to check out William IV, which was refurbished and reopened at the end of 2024. It’s a very pretty classic village pub, with plenty of outdoor seating and a cosy dining room. *Top tip if you want to factor some walking into your visit: Get the train from Waterloo to Guildford, and then instead of getting an Uber directly to the pub, go to the nearby village of Albury.
Hora Review | “A Mayfair Restaurant With Actually Good Food”

2 months ago | londontheinside.com | Jules Pearson

Although we entered Hora, a new spot on Dover Street, with slight trepidation when we saw the full-on DJ booth and heard the banging soundtrack, we were happy to discover some seriously good cooking here – and at a not too unfriendly price point either (for Mayfair). The kitchen is led by Executive Chef John Skotidas, whose unique Greek–Japanese-Filipino heritage and South American upbringing, somehow come together into one coherent, tasty menu.
