    tombrown

    Last year, Tom Brown closed his Michelin-starred Cornerstone restaurant in Hackney. At the time, it was said that he was concentrating on Pearly Queen in Shoreditch as efforts to move Cornerstone to central London had fallen to the wayside. Now it seems that Brown has found another way to go central, and it's something of a homecoming. 

    The chef originally made his name working at Nathan Outlaw's restaurant in The Capital and now Brown

    Björn Frantzén parts ways with Harrods as The Grill on Fifth takes over

    Just over two years after the glitzy opening of Björn Frantzén's much-vaunted restaurant at Harrods, the Swedish chef has very quietly closed the doors on that partnership. The announcement was made on Boxing Day on Studio Frantzén's Instagram feed, so understandably most of us missed it. Kudos then to restaurant guide ...

    Roman pizzas come to Chelsea from Marta

    In the run-up to the end of last year, we were so focused on the recent openings of Alley Cats and Zia Lucia in Chelsea that we missed another very promising new Chelsea pizza opening, called Marta. 

    It opened on Fulham Road (taking over the space from L'Artigiano) and it shifts away from the predominant Neapolitan focus of many London pizzerias and instead is all about Roman pizzas. Those are large,

    Londoners love their pubs and love a good Indian, so the growth of Indian-based pubs in the City isn't altogether surprising. Arriving off the back of the huge success of The Tamil Crown and Prince comes new Archway gastropub The Great Indian. If the name rings a bell it's because owner Aman Dhir also runs an Indian takeaway in Hackney under the same name. Up in Archway he's taken over the old Prince Alfred pub, just off the
