While eating out and heavy food might be the last thing on your mind after a month of over-indulgence, there’s a place that might be one to consider when your appetite is back on track. I paid a visit to Simpson’s on the Strand - one of the oldest restaurants in London - just before the overkill of Christmas and I was tickled by the eatery’s old school charm. The dining spot, which opened in 1828, oozes with character. Think parliamentary dining quarters crossed with a school library and the kookiness of your grandmother’s house. It was a chilly night when I stepped into the building ...

The attention to detail here is on point and even the tipples of the day are presented in a strokable binder. If you're looking for wholesome comfort food, with a invitingly relaxed atmosphere, then this is the place to pop to. Founded by the same people behind The Shed (Notting Hill) and the Rabbit (Chelsea), the Nutbourne offers the same kind of cuisine using locally sourced ingredients. Oliver Gladwin, one of the three brothers behind the culinary enterprise, i...

The new canteen-style eatery, just a stone's throw from Liverpool Street, offers a simple menu where diners are invited to have a stab at creating their own DIY pasta dishes. First they can choose a base pasta, before selecting a sauce. It's a steal, with generously-portioned plates starting at just £8. So far the restaurant has proved a hit at lunchtime, with hundreds of office workers eager to get their fill. I picked a 'filled pasta' from the dinner menu, stuffed with Ita...

Bodeans is a typical example of a carnivores haven, with mighty dishes guaranteed to bring out the caveman in anyone. I went to a dinner with other food lovers at the Tower Hill branch to sample some of that much talked about menu. The atmosphere is busy, busy, busy which clearly is a good sign (it was only 7pm on a weekday too). I could hear the receptionist every 5 mins saying ‘I’m sorry but it’ll be a 30 min...
