A giant Scotch Egg was rolling towards us. But this wasn't any old Scotch Egg. Instead of standard pork sausage meat, this seductive sphere - swiped with a smudge of mustard - had been fashioned out of venison. But this is what you can expect at the Scottish themed restaurant Mac & Wild: Highland twists on the traditional with a lashing of fun thrown in for good measure. There are currently two outposts in London. One in the heart of Soho and a larger one in the City, by Liverpool Street, which is the one I'd chosen to hit on Pancake Day, lured in by their playful twist on the tra...

Bobby Fitzpatrick, a legendary character whose penchant for rum and passion for gambling is matched only by his love of Formica and brown shag pile carpet, has opened the doors of his 70s- party-pad to the residents of West Hampstead and beyond. The characterful and unapologetically retro venue has cocktails and rum at its core with a playful pizza and burger offering. The drinks list features a jolly selection of rum inspired by Bobby’s travels in The Caribbean – ‘Bobby’s Rum Diaries’. This is complemented by a rum-laden cocktail menu that draws from chapters of Bobby’s personal history...

In fact the lunch part of this duo was so ballsy it has pinned the dinner part to the plate - and they've been there, battling it out for almost a week. In an age where Cronuts (a croissant and doughnut hybrid) are offered for breakfast we no longer have to choose one or the other, this or that, push or pull - we can have our cake (or in this case burger) and eat it. BRGR. CO in London (the home of a tube eating epidem...

It seems like we all want what we ain’t got? BRGR. CO in Soho, whom are Lebanese chain, look to the Upper East Side for their patty styling, with last week’s burger celebrating all things Irish – get your head around that one for an international case of keeping up with the Joneses. Residents of Wardour Street were treated to 7 days worth of the Doubl-in burger, which gave two helpings of the 4oz patty, a l...
