Leicester Eats & Sips The Punch and Judy pub in Covent Garden is a real hidden gem with so much history behind it. The pub is named after the famous Punch and Judy shows, which have long been part of Covent Garden’s cultural heritage, and you can really feel that sense of history when you are there. It is part of the Greene King chain, but it does not feel generic at all. The drinks are reasonably priced, especially for such a central London location, and the food looks absolutely delicious. There is also a great selection of beers on offer. One of the highlights is the balcony seating where you can sit, relax and watch the entertainment and atmosphere of Covent Garden below. There is not a huge amount of space on the balcony, but that just adds to its charm. It really feels like a place you would miss unless you know where to look, as it is slightly tucked away and easy to walk past. A brilliant little addition to Covent Garden, especially in the summer, with character, history and good value for money.

Y M We had a fantastic evening at Hawksmoor Seven Dials and everything came together perfectly — great food, excellent wine, and genuinely warm service. We started with the beetroot salad, which was fresh, light, and full of flavour. The highlight of the meal was the 450g Chateaubriand, cooked exactly as requested — beautifully tender, rich, and clearly top-quality beef. The sides were just as enjoyable: the beef dripping chips were crisp and indulgent, the spinach with lemon added a lovely freshness, the garlic mushrooms were full of flavour, and the Tunworth mash was wonderfully creamy. The bone marrow gravy tied everything together perfectly. The seasonal pavlova was light, balanced, and a delicious way to finish the meal. A special thank you to Scott, the sommelier, who recommended a superb Rasteau Bressy Masson wine — a fantastic pairing with the steak. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and very professional. Our waiter Adam was also excellent throughout the evening: friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and made sure everything was just right. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience with outstanding food and service. We will definitely be returning.

Alessandra Scotti We had a wonderful experience at Vasinikò. Despite it being a busy Saturday evening and us arriving without a booking, they still managed to find us a table straight away. I mentioned that I was feeling a bit cold, and they immediately adjusted the air-conditioning so it wouldn’t blow directly on me — such thoughtful service. I ordered a gluten‑free Margherita and it was absolutely outstanding. The tomato sauce was excellent quality: sweet, rich, and full of flavour. The pizza base was honestly the best gluten‑free one I’ve ever had — soft, elastic, light, and not heavy at all. You could really taste the quality of the extra virgin olive oil, and the fresh basil on top made it perfect. The service throughout the evening was courteous, quick, and genuinely caring. Our waiter checked on us often and made sure we were comfortable and happy. Overall, it was a really lovely experience. I would definitely recommend Vasinikò, especially if you need or prefer gluten‑free options.

Natasha We walked in without a booking but this didn’t matter as we were immediately welcomed by our wonderful server Anuja. I had the chicken Pad Thai and duck spring rolls as a side, both tasted amazing! Would definitely recommend a visit here!

Christopher Villegas If you enjoy eclectic, odd, unconventional places in London, this checks all the boxes. Starting from the street, you can already tell this place is going to be special. When you open the door, your first reaction should be WOW! It reminds me of being on stage and backstage all at once. If there is room in one of the box seat tables, ask for them as you get a fantastic vantage point of the entire restaurant. The food is delicious and does follow the Mediterranean inspired menu. Some of the items are large enough to enjoy on their own without having to do the preset course. The bathrooms have explicit and sexual visuals so if you’re bringing kids, be ready to do some explaining. There are usually live performances daily and typically in the evening hours. Plan accordingly. They also cater to large parties so depending on time/date, they might be completely booked. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful when it came to ordering items off the drink and food menu. There is a tribute area to Richard, who seemed to be the spirit of the restaurant. If you have some time, be sure to look at the tribute area near the entrance.

Simon M Great place, tucked away inside the Law Society. Ive had breakfast, lunch and after court drinks; good quality food, nicely presented, very clean and excellently waitered. Free WiFi, they manage my Celiac dietary requirements and theres a loyalty card you can apply for that credits you 10% of your spend every time. Its a little gem actually.
