Test Drive

• Test Driving Maison Francois - an instant hit in St James

  

  This modernist French brasserie serves up all the classics and has a very useful downstairs bar too. 

• Test Driving The Windmill in Mayfair - so much more than (excellent) pies

  

  This Mayfair pub, best known for its pies, has been taken over by the team behind the Guinea Grill. We went down to see what changes they'd made.

• Test Driving Noble Rot Soho - honouring the past whilst building a glorious future

  

  Noble Rot have unveiled their new restaurant in Soho, taking over what used to be The Gay Hussar. Will it live up to the louche charm of the original? We went along for a preview dinner.

• Test Driving JAE by Jay Morjaria at Untitled - Korean drinking food to die for

  

  We head to Dalston to check out Jay Morjaria's permanent residency, JAE, at Untitled bar - where the Korean drinking food makes you want to order everything on the menu.

• Test Driving the Burger & Beyond At Home kits - burgers, poutine & more

  

  The Burger & Beyond At Home DIY kits aim to give you perfect restaurant-quality burgers in the comfort of your own home. We gave them a go.
