• Quality Chop House's wine bar kicks off a small plates menu

  

  We reported on Quality Chop House opening a wine bar back in July - but now they're taking things a little further. Their former Sous Chef Nick Bramham will be putting together a new menu for the place, serving up small plates every Tuesday - Saturday night. Here's what's on the menu:

• LUCA team up with Turin chef Matteo Baronetto and MARTINI for one hell of an aperitivo menu

  

  London is awash with collaboration menus and cocktail pop-ups, but one coming to Clerkenwell next month sounds particularly noteworthy.

  MARTINI are joining up with Italian restaurant LUCA for a month long aperitivo festival and the food sounds every bit as amazing as the drinks they'll be serving to go with them. They've roped in Michelin-starred Head Chef Matteo Baronetto of Turin’s Del Cambio, one of Italy’s oldest restaurants. Matteo has, in turn, worked with LUCA

• Quality Chop House is expanding with a new cafe

  

  Not content with a restaurant, bar and deli, Farringdon's Quality Chop House is now adding a cafe too. If you've been to the deli there recently - and we have many times for arguably the best pork pies in London - you'll have seen the wine shop that's next door (previously run by Noble Wines). It's that area that's becoming their new cafe. 

  There you'll be able to sit down and work your way through as many of those pork pies as you can (and we

• Poons is back - iconic restaurant returns as a Clerkenwell pop-up

  

  A Hot Dinners exclusive

  If you've lived in London long enough to remember the days before pop-ups, when fine dining was French dining and we were all clambering over each other to get past the clipboard nazis at one of Oliver Peyton's gaffs, then the name Poons will have some meaning to you. Back in the day (the day in question being the 70s, 80s and 90s), Bill Poon built up a mini empire of Chinese restaurants across London, even gaining a

  Updated 23/9/17 with pictures and more details

  Clerkenwell has a new pop-up from luxury Brit brand Burberry which has temporarily extended its West End restaurant (which we're rather fond of) to support the photography exhibition it's putting on by Clerkenwell Green.

• Palatino in Clerkenwell is doing carbonara for breakfast

  

  Londoners, welcome to the next level breakfast hitting our streets from today. Palatino, Stevie Parle’s latest opening on Central Street, will be serving up Buccatini carbonara for breakfast.

  If, for some unknown reason, the thought of breaking your fast with a bowlful of top pasta doesn't entice you, maybe the other dishes of salt cod, potatoes & broken eggs or maybe onglet steak, egg, sage & chilli will do the trick. And there's also
