- Margot Bakery has opened a second branch, this time in Highgate
North London baker Michelle Eshkeri is building a little bakery empire for herself. She started with Margot in East Finchley where she became known for her sourdough bread and patisserie prowess. Two years ago she followed that up with the Holloway Model Bakery just off Holloway Road. And now, very under the radar, she's opened a third place, this time Margot 2.0, in Highgate.
The new bakery is on Archway Road, tucked in
... - Red Lion & Sun pub owner takes over the Angel Inn in Highgate
There are plenty of restaurant operators who like to keep all their businesses close to each other - think Tom Kerridge in Marlow or Rick Stein in Cornwall. Now, up in North London, popular pub landlord Heath Ball is hoping to follow in their footsteps.

... - The Red Lion & Sun is selling Pol Roger in tankards, just like Churchill used to drink it
Champagne flutes and saucers are so yesterday. As of this week, one of North London's loveliest pubs is serving a very special Champagne in tankards instead.
As The Red Lion and Sun's publican Heath Ball explains, the whole thing came about after one of his friends shared an article about a pub in Adelaide, Australia, that serves Krug by the schooner and sells the most Krug in the country.

- Highgate's Bottle wine shop expands to become a licensed cafe too
Back in the dark days of the lockdowns, we happened about Bottle - a lovely wine shop in Highgate that seemed to stock some particularly good wines and beers. Now we hear that they've just expanded into the site next door to become a fully-fledged 'licensed cafe and store'.
That licensed cafe bit is important because while they are now a wine bar, they're also going to be open from breakfast serving up

- Bottle in Highgate Village is a wine shop worth seeking out
Hot Dinners first happened about new wine shop Bottle when we were up in Highgate just days before the current lockdown. The place had opened in November and, when we popped in to get something interesting to drink that night, we ended up chatting to the woman behind the counter and realised this place was worthy of greater attention.
The place itself, in the heart of Highgate Village, was the brainchild of three

It's always interesting to see how some businesses have adapted to the trying commercial circumstances they find themselves working under during lockdown. One place that seems to have adapted particularly well is the award-winning North London gastropub, The Red Lion and Sun.
