Bar Brutal at Brawn | | | Sept 11 | |  | | | This has us excited. Bar Brutal, one of our favourite spots in Barcelona (if only for their epic natural wine list) will be heading to London for a one-day takeover at Brawn – another UJ fave. Celebrating La Fiesta de la Diada (Catalunya’s national day), this dream team collaboration will include a special Sunday sharing lunch menu, plus an exclusively Catalan wine list for the day. Although lunch ends at 4pm, expect to keep going into the evening, fuelled by salty snacks and fast flowing vino and vermouth.

Lunch: 12 – 4pm, £25/head. Book: 020 7729 5692

| EAT:
KILN | | | Opens Sept | |  | | | Another favourite. Ben Chapman of Smoking Goat is set to open his highly anticipated second restaurant, Kiln – a ‘side-of-the-road-type restaurant’ with a grill focus. Think lamb skewers served with chilli, cumin and fresh Szechuan pepper, roast suckling pig, curried cockles, roasted goose… the list goes. Plus, there’ll be a daily noodle dish, such as the impressive-sounding pressed duck gravy noodles, made by the juices of roasted duck carcasses crushed in a custom-built press. Serious.
