Test Drive

We head over to Hackney to try out the supper club turned restaurant from James Ramsden and Sam Herlihy. 

Patty and Bun is well worth the trip at the best of times, but if the queues at James Street aren't your cup of tea, we think you should head east for their latest, The Arch in London Fields.

Last week, we popped by to see how things were going at the recently re-launched Blackfoot Bar and Backroom Dining.
