- The founder of Smoking Goat is opening Kiln in Soho
Updated 13/9/16 with opening date
We've been big fans of Smoking Goat since it opened so hearing that founder Ben Chapman was launching a new restaurant made us sit up and pay attention.
The place is described as a 'side of the road type restaurant' with a short grill menu and a daily noodle dish. It sounds like it'll be quite a scene too with a long stainless steel counter curving the length of the room in front of an open kitchen with the wood

Opening in Soho today is London's latest chicken shop - the second restaurant from fledgling group Absurd Bird.

... - Pitt Cue comes back to Soho with Little Pitt
There's no arguing that the move to the City has brought with it a very big change for Pitt Cue - and one that's very much for the better. However, the original Pitt Cue in Soho had A LOT of fans, many who were more than a little sad when the source of some of the best pulled pork in London disappeared.
But mourn no longer - for Little

There are, of course,
