Lucky City folk now have a new Blacklock to enjoy - we popped along to see how the Blacklock vibes survived the move East. 

What: M Bar & Grill

In a nutshell:M Restaurants' new Twickenham venue will be opening soon, offering locals some very fine beef indeed.

Summing it all up: Hand-fed with seaweed for over six months and straight from the Scottish highlands, the new 100% full-blood Highland Wagyu on offer from M Bar & Grill will be a first for UK menus - and taste fantastic.

 It's Hawksmoor's sixth London restaurant, opening in their tenth year. We head down to Borough Market to see what's new.

What: Blacklock City

In a nutshell: Chops in the City

Summing it all up: Blacklock, famed for their chops, are coming to the City for their second restaurant. Expect an extended menu with new cuts, starters, and their all-important cocktails in a 100-cover restaurant with reservations available too.

We take a look at the latest restaurant from Jamie Oliver, which sees him opening a second Barbecoa, on Piccadilly. 

The very idea of a three martini lunch these days may be very rare indeed - but Hawksmoor are having none of that. Determined to bring back the boozy lunch they're adding three martinis to the lunchtime menu, teaming up with Hepple Gin and Valentine Warner. So if you fancy three stiffeners before lurching back to the office, here's what they're offering:

• Walter Riddell (Hepple Gin, Cocchi Americano, Jurançon &

We already know about Hawksmoor's ambitious plans to launch in New York, but before that, there's another new home-grown Hawksmoor appearing in Borough in early 2017.

This location is one that's particularly close to Will Beckett and Huw

Meat-lovers pay attention: the best steak in the world has arrived in London, or at least according to Spanish meat master José Gordón, who’s spent his whole life in the quest for the perfect cut.

Following his stint at Meatopia last year, where he brought his renowned beef steaks to the UK for the first time, José Gordón will be now be serving his legendary carpaccio, flank steak and more in Chelsea’s The World’s End Market.

It’s a rare

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

We're very much liking the sound of an imminent pop-up coming to the Newman Arms in Fitzrovia. The whole thing has come about as a partnership between Matt Chatfield (Cornwall Project) will supply the beef and veg, Zeren Wilson the wine and front of house will be Jon Cannon-Gierth (ex Simon Rogan & Tom Sellers). 

The whole thing has come about as a partnership between Matt Chatfield - he's supplying the beef and

 We take a look at Sagardi, the Spanish import that's settled into Shoreditch and tuck into some Basque goodness.

The surge of King’s Cross restaurant openings continues this November with Bar + Block, a steak restaurant set to open on York Way. It's taking over a large space that's part of the King's Cross Premier Inn (just opposite The Fellow, where Thyme used to be) and does still appear to be associated with the hotel (they also have one in Birmingham). It's having a massive

It's what they're calling "extreme aged beef". M Restaurants are challenging just how long you really should age beef for by putting 175-day aged USDA Prime Rib Eye on the menu. And they say that the effect of this long-term aging is that "the resulting flavour is unique - punchy, beefy and almost cheesy in taste."

So if you fancy some of that cheesy beef, it's on the menu from September at £17.50 for 100g (with a

We're big fans of Zelman meats, so it's very good news indeed that this week sees a second Zelman opening. This time, they've gone west, setting up shop on the Fifth Floor of Harvey Nichols (taking over the spot where Polpo used to be). It's billed as a residency, so we're not sure how long they'll be there, but you now have Zelman Meats AND Burger & Lobster next door to each other (they're both from the same
