• Santa Maria's Brentford Pizzeria is in a car showroom

  

  In today's "I'm sorry - what?" news we have intel on a brand new Santa Maria outlet - which has opened in a car showroom. Yes, they've set up their Brentford Pizzeria right in the heart of Duke of London which sells classic and luxury cars. Don't fancy a Jaguar E-Type? Can we interest you in a margherita instead?

  When Wander in Stoke Newington closed at the beginning of the lockdown, there was some worry that it wouldn't return. But now it's back in its new delivery-only guise, with two new meal kits that look well worth your time.

  The first is the Wander Banquet. That's five dishes of the kind previously served in Wander, with just a little finishing at home. To give you an idea, this week's meal

• London's signature dishes, delivered

  

  Signature dishes can be so called because of the hours of creativity and refinement that have gone into them but equally because they are simply absolutely delicious.  Here’s our list of London's signature dishes available to enjoy in the comfort of your own home and what you may lack in restaurant experience is made up by that slight feeling of smugness that you didn’t have to make an advance reservation or stand in a queue to enjoy it.
