Test Drives

Settling in for a longer stretch on Heddon Street, this sustainable restaurant residency has an ex-Dinner by Heston team creating fireworks in the kitchen.

For London's grouse lovers there are two ways to enjoy the game bird - in restaurants and at home. We gave both a try.

Sollip in Bermondsey takes some of the European cooking techniques that the owners have great experience in and mixes in their Korean background to offer something quite unique to Londoners. We went down to try it out. 

The Hoxton hotel in Holborn has a new restaurant which brings together an ex-St John chef and one of the people behind Quality Chop House. We head down for a look. 

Now there's a new way to start the weekend in London - with fresh waffles and bellinis at the never-knowingly-understated Bob Bob Ricard...

The Ned's epic Sunday Feast buffet is back in action, post lockdown. We went to see how a Covid-era buffet works in practice. 

Gunpowder are known for their excellent Kashmiri chops. Now they have an at-home version of them - we tried it out.

Barely 30 minutes away from central London, this new Hertfordshire getaway is aiming to shake up the UK hotel scene, pitching itself as a hotel meets festival experience. And it comes with a restaurant from Robin Gill to boot. 

What's a two-Michelin-starred delivery experience like? We try out &Home with James Knappett as his Kitchen Table comes to you.  

Bong Bong's have teamed up with meal-kit delivery service Dishpatch for a delivery version of their Kamayan Feast. We tried it out.  

TOU have created an Iberian Katsu Sando kit. So, of course, we had to try it out.  

Scottish chef Nico Simeone has brought his ever-changing six-course tasting menu restaurant Six by Nico to London. We head down to try it out. 

Three years after closing his much-loved restaurant The Dock Kitchen, Stevie Parle is back with a summertime popup at Ladbroke Dock. We went to check it out.

Gizzi Erskine and Professor Green unite post lockdown for this deep pan pizza takeover of Passo in Old Street. We head down for the cheesy, carby goodness.  

Cue Point mix Afghan BBQ techniques with BBQ style from around the world - and then deliver the results to you. We try out some of their nacos... 

Jun Tanaka delivers the best of his menu to your home. We give it a try. 

  Elliot's expands into Borough Market with a summer pop-up alfresco restaurant. We head down to try it out.

While his Muse restaurant is closed, Tom Aikens has created a delivery service called Musette. We got stuck in.

London's La Petite Maison is the group's flagship restaurant. As it reopens, with a new oyster bar, we take a look to see why it's still pulling in the crowds.

  NASI Economy Rice is the next-door spin-off of Sambal Shiok. We take it for a Test Drive takeaway and find it makes for a pretty perfect lunch.
