Ever since I moved south(east) of the River I get very excited when anything new and/or cool comes this way. So imagine my happiness when I saw Blackheath as an option on Time Out’s Local eats competition. Huzzah! We’ve made it guys. I had the same reaction as when we saw our first millennial with a beard… Continue reading Hand Made Food, Blackheath
Roka Roka Roka. I’ve been trying to get to you for ages. The other week I finally managed to get through the doors as a ‘Goodbye, thanks for the hard work’ lunch with my boss and it was everything I had hoped it would be: i.e. AMAZING.. Roka is an award winning Japanese and sushi restaurant… Continue reading Roka, Charlotte St, London
I just started working in Soho, so suddenly I have no idea where to get a week day lunch. I’ve started exploring… Vital Ingredients is a great alternative to Chopped, Eat or Pure if you’re in the Golden Square area of London. The salad bar is really nicely stocked, with a few more ‘unusual’ ingredients; artichoke,… Continue reading Vital Indredients, Golden Square
Ladies’ lunch date? Trying to eat healthily? Often a conundrum when I’m going out with friends…. how I can suggest somewhere that means we avoid a gallon of wine or the “well, we could share chips” conversation? (But not be that person who makes everyone eat a salad). Well The Detox Kitchen could be the answer… Continue reading The Detox Kitchen, Soho
A not-so secret: I love ceviche. So as soon as I heard about Señor Ceviche, a new Pervian place which opened in London, I made a beeline for it. Based in the buzzy Kingly Court in Soho, Señor Ceviche is Wahaca in its style – simple, fun, inexpensive and accessible to everyone. Great stuff. You… Continue reading Señor Ceviche

The one things I keep hammering on about to people when I talk about Clean Eating is that it is a lifestyle, not a diet. You will not be able to eat clean every single meal,… Continue reading Bleeker St. Burger, food truck
Ah Soho. I’m there mid-week. It’s 6.30 when office workers think “I’ll pop for a quick bite rather than brave rush hour”. And I’m looking at a the most popular vegetarian restaurant in Soho that doesn’t take reservations. So went it last week as we ventured out to Mildred’s, the vegetarian/vegan/organic/superfood that people have been… Continue reading Milred’s, Soho
Lyle’s, the first restaurant from James Lowe (1/3 of the Young Turks), opened its doors in Shoreditch in April. Simple British nosh, the daily menu changes based on the food available, and is only posted on their website at 11am the same day. Could be stressful if you like to forward plan your meal like I… Continue reading Lyle’s London, Shoreditch
If there’s one thing Shoreditch probably doesn’t need it’s another Vietnamese Street Food restaurant. Head over to the Kingsland Road and you can have your pick of restaurants, or stand on the Old Street/Curtain Road cross road and turn your head right to find Cay Tre, or left to see Banh Mi. Or look slightly ahead… Continue reading Cyclo, Shoreditch
Like bikes? Check. Like brunch? Check. Like organic locally sourced sausages with your gluten free bread? Check check. Look Mum no Hands! a hipster place. But what do you expect from a bike cafe underneath workspace The Trampery in London Fields. I like it. And really, what’s not to like. Awesome food (sausage and avocado… Continue reading Look Mum No Hands! – London Fields
