‘The Sierra Leonean cooking at Shwen Shwen is unforgettab... Chef-owner Maria Bradford has brought thrillingly contemporary West African flavours to the Kent commuter belt

Back with another @theobserveruk.bsky.social restaurant review. Rich aunty energy, rambunctious West African seasoning and dropped limited-edition Magnums at the truly brilliant Shwen Shwen: observer.co.uk/style/restau...

‘Solina Pasta shows how far Bath’s dining scene has come ... It’s an elegant, accomplished, buzzy operation and there are a few other equally attractive places nearby

Back with another restaurant review in this weekend’s @theobserveruk.bsky.social. Heinz for grown-ups, exceptional tiramisu, and memories of distressed All Saints t-shirts at Solina Pasta, a Bath-based Italian canteen built for both comfort and speed. Lots of fun: observer.co.uk/style/food/a...

‘The food at Gina’s is made by people who really mean it’ Chef couple Ravneet and Mattie practice their love language to superb effect at their new Chingford restaurant

Latest restaurant review for @theobserveruk.bsky.social. Life-changing chocolate cake and Flinstonian pork at the exceptionally good Gina: observer.co.uk/style/restau...

Thank you!
