Located 30 miles to the South East of London we heard about The West House restaurant via various good reviews and chef Graham Garrett’s performance on The Great British Menu. It’s a small family-run restaurant in a 15th Century weaver’s cottage. They have 1 Michelin Star and but unfortunately they have no disabled toilet except for…
Update 1 Aug 2013: We’re reducing the rating to 2.5 BBS Ticks following the teams recent visit. The service in the courtyard brasserie was awful. It was slow in coming and surly, however the upstairs bar and restaurant is still good. So go to the courtyard if you want to be seen but upstairs is…
Bistrot Bruno Loubet is a modern french Bistrot within the Zetter Hotel which if you read my previous post I gave the hotel 3BBS Ticks. I haven’t dined there yet but given that Bruno Loubet has worked for some of the best chefs in the world I expect it to be good if not sensational?! I do…
The Claude Bosi Oyster Bar is worthy of a separate entry to that of Bibendum building, Restaurant just because it’s a great place to go if you’re out shopping or just want to be ‘trendy’ in Brompton Cross. You can’t book you have to queue for a table but it’s worth it as the seafood…
I went to Bibendum (named after the Michelin man), a while ago when I walked with sticks so I’ve had to call about wheelchair access.

Bumpkin I have been told by Lieutenant No1 and The American Lieutenant are worth a visit. Owned by the same group that owns one of my favourite bars – Bar Eclipse – I will definitely be trying them soon. There are 3 Bumpkin Westfield Stratford City, Bumpkin South Kensington and Bumpkin Notting Hill. They all…
The Shaftesbury is a Youngs pub between kew and Richmond. I’ve put this on my list as they have just refurbished and have made a good job of access and facilities. The food was OK and it’s a bit formulaic and there is a courtyard/garden. The Shaftesbury gets 1.5 BBS Ticks
Bentley’s is a favourite place as it has a lively atmosphere and as you would expect from a Richard Corrigan venue, excellent food. I don’t like oysters but the smoked salmon is exceptional as is the rest of the menu. It is very much a bar but there are tables to sit at and there…
Benares is a modern Michelin starred British Indian restaurant and bar. They are located in Berkeley Square House and there is access via a lift. They have informed me that there is a disabled toilet. As you can tell I haven’t been there yet but the food sounds exceptional. So if anyone reads this and has been,…
