Hereford Road, 3 Hereford Road, London

If this restaurant is not already earning itself a place in London’s culinary arsenal then I'll go and eat at fast food joints from now on. The restaurant’s chef, Tom Pemberton, former head chef at St John Bread and Wine, has a fantastic, unequivocal approach to cooking: keep it simple. Brilliantly simple.

Having eaten there three times now it's a pleasure to see almost completely different menus everytime within the period of no longer than a month. This is a restaurant suited for adventurous eaters that offers British delights. My girlfriend had calves liver with mash, sage and bacon and I can honestly say that it was the best calves liver I've had since visiting The Spotted Pig in New York this time last year.

The restaurant itself is minimalism meets Manhattan featuring red-leather booths for parties and intimate tables for two overlooking the animated open plan kitchen.

It's a great little neighbourhood eatery but it does resemble St John's style. Who can blame Tom Pemberton for replicating what he has learnt and transferring it into his own concept - it's going to be successful so all the best to him!

Bread - Winter warming, brown with good butter.

Staff - Eager to please, simple but effective style of service.

Overall - If you live in or around Notting Hill Gate make it your local.
