South London

36-38 Lordship Lane, London SE22 8HJ

This is from chef Michael Hazlewood who worked at Attica in Melbourne, Australia and more recently at both Soif and The Green Man & French Horn in London and Manager Alex Thorp.Hazlewood from at Fifteen and Vinoteca. It has a daily changing, ingredients-focused menu with a wood-fired oven which they'll be using to bake bread, as well as cooking fish and meat. There's a large wine list - but perhaps a more interesting feature of the dining room are the four 300-litre stainless steel tanks, filled with natural wine direct from the winemakers.

Their latest natural wine bar and bistro will "continue the pair's ethos of opening rustic, hearty, simple and seasonal French and British food complemented by an extensive range of natural and bio-dynamic wines".

This is the first offshoot of a popular Copenhagen chain to appear outside Denmark. The key premise is that you can choose between sushi or yakatori.

Adam Byatt and ex St John Bread and Wine chef Karl Goward have launched this neighbourhood bistro with a strong focus on British food. We particularly like the idea that you can buy spirits and store them on site for future visits.
