Finally after months of anticipation, the great Tom Kemble has unveiled his next move in his culinary career. As you know, I was a loyal fan of Bonhams Restaurant, and in a state when Tom decided to leave the restaurant (and London) in the Summer…

It looks like the critics called this correctly. I’m certainly encouraged with the last couple of visits to new London tables, JC at EC3, BM at Perilla and now this. After years of trendy concepts, it looks like the market is maturing in 2017, with…
