We do quite love Le Bun burgers so it's very good indeed to hear about their return to London. While it was possible to eat Le Bun burgers at the sadly departed Carte Blanche in London Fields, this will be a proper return for the French/American-inspired burgers by Andy Taylor.
This time, they're in residency at the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane for a four-week pop-up. The classic Le T…

Gosnells, which is London’s only meadery - and can we pause just for a moment even to to consider how great it is that we have a meadery at all in 2019? - is about to bring its drinks direct to drinkers with the launch of its first bar. The honey-focused set up can be found in an upstairs room above Coal Rooms in Peckham from 8 March and will be of course offering lots of mead, plus small plates…

London's doughnut producers are the equal to anyone's (if the award-winning doughnuts we tried in Miami the other week are anything to go by). So anyone new coming into the scene is really going to have to bring their A-game. But a look at the credentials of the folk behind new doughnut purveyors Longboys shows they've thought of that already.
The duo behind it are the former Group Pastry Chef fo…

Changes are on the way for Bubbledogs, the hot dog and Champagne bar in Fitzrovia by Sandia Chang (which also acts as a way into the 2-Michelin-starred Kitchen Table at the back). They're closing for a revamp and opening again with much more of a focus as a Champagne bar.
And this change also means a much bigger focus on Grower Champagnes (they're the smaller producers in the Champagne region). D…

As anyone who's ever had to pass through a UK airport recently will know, the food and drink side of things can be a little disappointing. If you're not after a liquid breakfast of Fosters and are craving something more substantial than what you can grab at Pret, then pickings are pretty slim.
So we're pleased to hear that newish Stansted Airport spot the Camden Bar & Kitchen is doing its bes…

25/2/19 - updated with Asma's charity details
We've known for quite a while that London's very own Asma Khan was going to be the star of the upcoming Netflix TV series but were sworn to secrecy until Netflix deemed it time to go live with the info.
