The Fat Badger
310 Portobello Rd, London W10 5TA
We had a beautiful Sunday lunch here, which I booked through their VIP Whatsapp group (nice touch to be recognised). We had a surprise menu of grilled bone marrow, toasted sourdough and shallot & parsley salad. As good as St. John if not better in my opinion, and then a beautiful roast beef and sticky toffee pudding to finish. Love that they have screens showing live sport too.

A Turkish restaurant we order from regularly. It's the best meze (you get a lot). And they do a great chicken shish, I always order a chicken doner wrap with extra garlic sauce.
The Cow
89 Westbourne Park Rd, London W2 5QH
Great Guinness, great vibe and the best selection of seafood! What a pub!
The Ledbury
127 Ledbury Rd, London W11 2AQ
I celebrated my 40th birthday here, when Bret and his team made it that extra special. By far the best meal of my life! It made it even more special that one of our regulars from Mount St. Restaurant was on the table next to us and sent over a cocktail.

/My favourite London restaurant, the best ingredients cooked with the utmost respect that's not pompous. It's also handy to take advantage of the 50% off food for hospitality workers on Wednesday lunches. I always leave blown away by the hospitality that Chris and his team deliver.
