The Ship Tavern, Holborn

The Ship Tavern, Holborn

Despite the fact it's been there since 1549, you'd be forgiven if you've never seen or heard of The Ship Tavern in your life - even if you work in or around Holborn. Tucked away down a side street off of Kingsway, The Ship Tavern has a pretty standard pub exterior and a consistently busy bar area (they have loads of proper ales I gather, alas I was on Sicilian Lemonade). But, journey upstairs and a charming little dining room awaits you; you could almost believe it was kind o

The Lighterman, Kings Cross

The Lighterman, Kings Cross

The latest in a seemingly endless list of (mostly excellent) new restaurant openings in the Kings Cross area, The Lighterman is an all day pub, dining room and bar type place hovering just over the canal on Granary Square. There's a promising looking terrace and lots of outside bench seating happening that wasn't quite ready when I visited last week during its soft launch, but I'm already lining it up for waterside summer drinking. We visited for breakfast on a grey March day

Duck Wraps

Duck Wraps

Things in wraps are always a good idea, but for a midweek quick easy dinner, most people's go-to wrap of choice - fajitas - aren't as healthy as I'd like.

Blixen, Spitalfields

Blixen, Spitalfields

Blixen, in the corner of Spitalfields market, is the latest excellent venture from the owner of The Garrison, Village East, Riding House Cafe etc. and is probably the prettiest of the lot. On the market side, there's a lovely little terrace (check out some pics here, scroll down to about a third of the way down the page) which is enough to tempt anyone in and the interior doesn't disappoint either; lots of palms, greenery and brightly whitewashed rustic chic that is still war

Spanish Chicken

Spanish Chicken

I debated what to call this one, as 'Spanish Chicken' is pretty generic (not to be confused with this Spanish Sherry Chicken I did for The Pool), but it sounded slightly catchier than 'Chicken with Chorizo, Sherry, Lemon and Parsley', which is what it is. It's a quick, easy one pot that requires little to no skill or faff. Here's what you'll need: Chicken pieces - I used 3-4 thighs (which I boned out) and 3 drumsticks A thumb sized piece of chorizo 2 cloves of garlic 100ml of
