• Twisted London open their King's Cross restaurant ahead of schedule

  

  Often, a story we write is all about a new restaurant opening. And eventually Twisted London's new King's Cross venue will actually open as a counter service restaurant. Just not today.

So all the interesting dishes they come up with that are usually only available in East London should be now on offer to North Londoners too.

• Burger & Lobster returns for delivery

  

  Next up on the comeback trail following lockdown is Burger and Lobster. They closed down originally just over a month ago, but now they've reopened their flagship Mayfair store (we're yet to hear if any more are due to open).
