... - MEATliquor unleashes a dog-themed menu with new hot-dogs and cocktails
MEATLiquor are launching a dog-themed menu throughout March and April - by dog, we mean primarily HOT dog of course, but it's also being set up to support local dog charities.
And there are two dog-themed parts. First, there's the special menu where the hot-dogs are reigning supreme - and the main event is The Littlest Hobo. That's "a traditional Beechwood smoked
... - Joe Allen celebrates its 40th year by serving burgers in the open
Covent Garden institution Joe Allen is celebrating its 40th year of serving hungry Theatreland punters with a special Birthday menu, which will feature a burger for the first time ever. Yes, they've had a burger before (rated as one of the best in town) but it's the infamous secret burger that you had to know to order.
It's been one of London's worst kept secrets, mind, and now they've decided to
... - London's best restaurants and bars for a January detox

- The Pate en Croute at Holborn Dining Room: anatomy of a dish
We've seen a lot of Christmas specials hitting London restaurants (much of which have made it onto our festive roundup page). But if we had to choose a winner, and for the purposes of this piece we are, it's got to be the amazing Crimbo Pate en Croute devised by Head Chef Calum Franklin at Holborn Dining Rooms.
Calum has
... - Hawksmoor have a new bar snack - The steak slice
Let's hope you've eaten before you cast your eyes on this wondrous-looking item. This, my friends, is their Steak Slice - a meat pasty that knocks the original pastry item that inspired it into a distant cocked hat.
It's available at all Hawksmoor bars, but only for the month of November. To buy one costs £20 and it consists of a 200g 35-day-aged rare-breed ribeye, slow-braised with red
... - Knightsbridge's Hyde Bar launches a luxe burger and whisky menu
Not to be outdone by London's, how shall we put it, more casual burger establishments, The Hyde Bar at The Park Tower Knightsbridge has joined the fray with a new range of luxe burgers.
So if you're after something totally OTT - how about The Luxury Collection - featuring Wagyu beef with Vermont white cheddar in a gold leaf bun, or perhaps The Perigourdine with Angus beef, duck foie gras, Armagnac mayo and potato black truffle bun? They're not cheap mind, ranging
... - Gelupo launch a Michelin gelato range with Roux, Koffmann and more
We're pretty partial to a scoop or two of Gelupo ice-cream so we're quite taken with their latest wheeze. To tie in with the launch of the new Michelin guide they've come up with a special collaboration - seven gelato collaborations with seven Michelin-starred chefs. Each flavour ties in with the kind of dishes you'd find at their restaurants. And they are:
- ‘Dr Henderson’ (an unusual blend of Fernet-Branca and crème de menthe) from Fergus
- The huge Oklava Sunday Feast headlines their own kebabs
We do like the sound of the new Sunday special at Shoreditch's Oklava. Chef Selin Kiazim is putting on a, frankly huge, feast that is rounded off by some special kebabs. Apparently, the Kebab, or ‘kebap’, is something that Selin always did with her family on Sundays. And its inspiration is drawn directly from childhood holidays in Cyprus, where her family would all get round the table and enjoy this spread, which
... - London restaurants sign up for Goatober
If the idea of Go Sober for October doesn't sound too enticing, here's another month-long enterprise that might be more your thing. Goatober will be a month long celebration of Britain's dairy billy goat meat industry. Inspired by the US version where dishes are served up in restaurants like Gramercy Tavern, Babbo, Spotted Pig and Bar Boulud, it's been pushed in Britain by James Whetlor from Cabrito Goat Meat and they've got an impressive list of restaurants taking

Here's an easy prediction. The new tie-up between fast food chain LEON and Gizzi Erskine will be a runaway success. Launching next week, the chef and food writer Gizzi will showcase the dish she created - the Chicken Satay Salad costs £6.45. It was inspired by her cookbook Gizzi's Healthy Appetite and consists of sweet potato, carrot and daikon spiralised salad, topped with LEON’s chargrilled chicken and finished with a punchy pot of satay sauce with a sprinkling of
