The Regent

Sound the bell! January is officially over so it's time to wheel out the proper grub again, thank goodness.

One good, elegantly laid-back place to do this is Kensal Green gastro-boozer The Regent which has a nicely eclectic Edwardian vibe with a touch of Miami thrown in in the form of potted palm trees and popcorn to nibble on at the bar. Already known for it's no-holds-barred burgers they've just introduced the Retox Range which includes the Double-Stacker (two 8oz burgers, mozzarella, cheddar and streaky bacon) and the Bad Boy (just one burger with stilton, bacon, spinach and red onion salsa). They're not bio-dynamic (watch this space for news on that) but they're organic which is good enough for us.

There are also the kind of beers you'd expect to be on tap in this neck of the woods - San Miguel, Becks and Adnams included - and a garden to drink them in if you're feeling hardy. After one of their burgers you should be.

  • Weekend Eats: Ida

    I can't help wondering whether there would be less street crime if every neighbourhood had its own Ida.

  • Weekend Eats: Princess Victoria

    Shepherd's Bush is not blessed with a multitude of fine eating places so it was a canny move of former Sommelier of the Year Matt Wilkin to refurbish the faded gin house the Princess Victoria and turn it into an above average gastro-tavern.

     

  • Weekend Eats: The Garrison

    The owners of The Garrison must have been listening in when I described my perfect pub as it's as close as darn it.

  • Weekend Eats: The Connaught

    We love it when one of London's grand-dame hotels has a refurb and the Connaught, which is now part of the Maybourne Group (which also owns Claridges and the Berkeley), is no exception.

  • Weekend Eats: The Beehive

    When Claudio Pulze was revamping one of London's oldest pubs, the Beehive, Marylebone locals made sure they had their say: the carpet could go but they didn't want it changed too much and they would appreciate it if he could keep the flowers outside looking fresh to brighten the place up. The accommodating restaurateur obliged.
