• Pick & Cheese brings its cheese conveyor belt to Camden

  

  There are many great places for food inside Seven Dials Market, but the one that understandably gets most of the attention is Pick & Cheese. From the same people behind The Cheese Bar, that's the restaurant that's based around a moving conveyor belt of various cheese dishes. It's quite the thing and worth the trip to the food hall alone to have a look. But soon it won't be the only cheese

• The Dark Horse in Camden sees Le Bab running a pub

  

  The Farrier in Camden closed late last year, but it hasn't taken long for another new pub to spring up in its place. The Dark Horse takes over the site in the old Camden stable area and also happens to come from the same people as Le Bab. 

  The food won't be a repeat of Le Bab or Kebab Queen, however, as it'll instead focus on traditional pub classics. So you can expect their own take on fish

• Boxpark are taking over Buck Street Market in Camden

  

  6/9/24 - updated with more opening details

  Buck Street Market is a huge container village in Camden which has about 40 shops and restaurants contained within its mini maze of containers. However, it hasn't really had the same success as similar venues like Boxpark have seen. Now that's likely to change as Boxpark themselves are the new owners of the site.

• Bangladeshi-inspired Dhakaah is coming to Camden Market’s Hawley Wharf

  

  While the UK’s current heatwave may be giving Bangladesh’s temperatures a run for their money, we know the latter country certainly has more reliability in that department. So, when you undoubtedly need warming up again, Camden Market is going to be the place for spicy street-food goodness at new Bangladeshi-inspired Dhakaah.

  It’s another addition to the Hawley Wharf

The menu, created by the restaurant's Executive Chef Andreas Engberg (La Petite Maison, The Arts Club) sounds great, but we're particularly interested in the limited edition slices and tacos

• El Cenote aims to give Camden folk an authentic Mexican experience with top tacos and margaritas

  

  The idea of opening a Mexican margarita and tacos joint somewhere like Camden definitely seems like it makes good business sense. But what makes the arrival of El Cenote interesting is that rather than being one of those chain restaurants, this is an bar devised and run by two Mexicans.

  Owner Aima Indigo is a Mexican model turned restaurateur who used to work at La Bodega Negra and Mexcalito.

• Gordon Ramsay's York and Albany pub is taken over by squatters

  

  The past few weeks have not been good ones for Gordon Ramsay. Having seen his Camden gastropub closing due to a legal dispute over its lease, the chef is now dealing with squatters at the York and Albany. As first reported in the Sun, a group occupied the 19th century building a week ago but, as squatting is a civil matter, Ramsay's report to the police hasn't resolved matters.

  While the chef prepares to

• The Good Egg comes to Camden

  

  The Good Egg is getting bigger - they're opening their third restaurant in Camden.

  If you're unfamiliar with their current restaurants, either in Carnaby or Margate, their menus are mainly inspired by a combo of Middle-Eastern cooking and classic Jewish delis. As the name suggests, there are plenty of eggs involved and they also do a mean brunch. 

  This new restaurant will have a new dish on offer, the

  Chef Paul Foster already has a Michelin-starred restaurant to his name in Stratford-Upon-Avon, called Salt, but now he's getting ready to open in London too. He'll be taking over a space in Camden's Hawley Wharf for Grassfed. 

  That name refers to the grass-fed beef that will have a big presence on the menu, with much of it cooked over hot coals. On that
