• James Knappett's two-Michelin starred Kitchen Table starts delivering - and gets ready for a big refurb

  

  Changes are afoot at The Kitchen Table.

  The two-Michelin starred restaurant is essentially one big kitchen counter for communal eating. That's been great up until now - but doesn't quite work with the new socially distant age. So the restaurant is not only getting a big refurbishment, but it's also expanding into the Bubbledogs space, where they'll be adding a

• Michelin-starred Kitchen Table reinvents itself as a deli

  

  Yesterday's announcement by the government that restaurants could reopen was welcome news to many. But not all restaurants fit even the 1m plus rule. One such place is Kitchen Table. The two Michelin-starred restaurant in Fitzrovia is all about the counter dining experience - and that's clearly going to take them a little longer to work out how to reopen safely.

  Lima, the Peruvian restaurant in Fitzrovia, is the latest restaurant in town to kick off a delivery service - but not just one. They're launching two different offerings at the same time.

• Clipstone has reopened, preparing meals for Fitzrovia (and delivery too)

  

  The Woodhead Group are already having big success with the Quality Chop House delivery service (even though we're experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms from going so long without one of their pork pies). Now the same group have reopened another restaurant - Clipstone in Fitzrovia. 

  They're both open as an online shop, but also as a shop providing food for the locals. If you're nearby,
