    Welcome to a corner of the French Mediterranean. Nestled between London’s St James and Soho, Whitcomb’s serves modern interpretations of classic dishes found along the sunny stretches of the French and Italian rivieras. Simple yet elegant cuisine, prepared à la minute.
    As a West End restaurant, Whitcomb’s is ideal for pre- and post-theatre dining, set just a stone’s throw away from theatres such as the London Coliseum, Gielgud Theatre, Duke of York’s Theatre, and many more. Whitcomb’s also serves a delicious Express Lunch menu, perfect for business lunches or a break from shopping on the nearby Regent Street and Bond Street.

    Located in the heart of London's bustling Chinatown district, Plum Valley is a sleek Cantonese restaurant that stands out along Gerrard Street for its minimalist style and smart wooden, slate and stone interior. Perfect for business lunches, pre-theatre meals and post-sightseeing snacks, Plum Valley Chinese restaurant is conveniently located near Piccadilly Circus and the West End without being touristy, and the restaurant boasts its own conference facilities well suited for private events and meetings. Dumpling lovers will go gaga for the scallop dumpling, whisker black cod roll, and we also recommend the pillowy cream custard bun, Mongolian fillet steak, and the grilled sea bass with ginger and spring onion. Or just take your waiter's advice and make a survey of the sublime dim sum or the excellent a la carte. Smart enough for dates, yet friendly to groups, Plum Valley is a great must-try restaurant in Chinatown.

    We went to Hawksmoor Seven Dials as a surprise for My Mother’s birthday. My Mother has coeliac disease and other food allergies so eating out can sometimes become difficult. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with such kindness and compassion. A restaurant with a very speak easy vibe, we knew we were in for a treat. From the hostess to our waitress, I don’t think we could have asked for better service! I had left a note in my booking that it was my mother’s birthday, and they followed the note perfectly. We went with the Pre-Theatre menu option (as I had booked online, however you can still order from the standard menu) and had 2x mains and 2x Deserts. The food came out promptly and our waitress answered all questions and provided recommendations whilst always keeping the glasses full, she was so attentive!. As mentioned, my mother has coeliac disease and other food allergies, and we were able to make substitutions from the standard menus if needed to ensure we still paid for the Pre-Theatre menu. The food was Devine! We ended up sharing both of our mains but naturally ate our own desserts. Will definitely make a return when we make the trip from Australia again.
