Their Soho venue has been closed throughout the lockdown but now that Bar Swift (ranked 41 on the 50 Best Bars in the World list last year) are back, they're already getting ready to open a second bar in Shoreditch (where Floripa used to be). 

This venue will be an all-day affair, opening at 8am on weekdays. Of course, you won't be able to pick up a cocktail then, so they'll shift to coffee and brunch dishes in the mornings. There will be Neal's

We've been without Tomos Parry's excellent Brat restaurant for a few months - but now it's returning in not one but three different incarnations. 

First up is the Brat x Climpson’s Arch residency which sees Parry going back to his roots as he had previously been in the kitchen there from 2013-2015. Brat will be there all summer

They've already opened Smokestak for Saturday delivery/pickup - now it's the time of David Carter and Chris Leach's Manteca. However, this isn't Manteca served from their Soho restaurant - instead, the team has headed east and are also using Smokestak as a base

They may not be back completely, but Smokestak will be returning every Saturday for the next few weeks and they're doing it in style. After a trial run last Saturday, they'll be back every week with a menu that sees them going back to basics with old-school barbecue action.  

Here's what's on the menu. The first four meats are by the 100g and we want all of it, frankly.

The Lockdown isn't stopping new restaurants from starting up in London, as seen by the latest addition to the Coqfighter family.

Here's what you can order right now if you're in Uber Eats range from Shoreditch (they're currently

Over the past year and a bit, the Big Mamma restaurants Gloria and Circolo Poplare have become huge hits in London.

During lockdown, both restaurants are being turned into a mix of deli and pizzeria as a
