Chinese | Fitzrovia, West End London
Sunday Offer: Dim Sum Sunday including drinks £62

The food is still very good but we miss some old dishes like salt fish rice. There seems a definite strategy to move prices up with bits of foie gras (Asian ?) or truffle. And the wine list is not nearly as good as it used to be for wine under £75 (up-selling ?). Staff are still very efficient but slightly impersonal compared to years ago. There is now room for a competitor to unseat Hakkasan: you can tell it is run as a global business and the focus has gone. We have been going to Hakkasan since it opened and for the first time I am starting to lose interest. More

Indian | Chelmsford, Chelmsford

Aji and Fazila came to the UK to continue their studies and work but missed the freshness and vibrancy of south Indian food and had a dream to bring Kerala food to the people of Chelmsford.

They opened the Live Dosa Market Stall in 2013 and it was an instant hit with the locals, who would queue up daily for their dosa fix.

Live Dosa restaurant opened in 2014 and has continued to serve south Indian favourite dishes to the city dwellers. Thanks to loyal locals and the energy of a dedicated team, the restaurant has been a great success, recently described by one restaurant reviewer as serving ‘the best curry I’ve eaten outside of South India.’

The Anchor DanburyThe Anchor Danbury
££££
British | Chelmsford, Chelmsford

The Anchor in Danbury is the epitome of an English Country Inn, boasting beautiful traditional beams, quaint shining brass and a warm welcoming atmosphere which has made this pub a firm favourite for many years.
We have a lovely large garden with a fun children's play area, great for keeping the kids entertained while you catch up with friends and family over a relaxing drink or with some great food.
Four legged friends are welcome at the pub, please ask our friendly staff for confirmation on which areas can accommodate you as we do require that dogs are kept out of the main dinning areas. Please note reservation with a dog is necessary during busy periods.More
