Hidden at the bottom of a dark lane in the shadows of the awe inspiring Shard there is an…read moreindustrial unit like no other. A former tannery, this winter season it has been transformed into London's foremost Scottish pop up restaurant. For several years now the lads at Dram & Smoke have appeared on a seasonal basis in various locations around the city providing some delicious Scottish inspired dishes. This winters menu is something pretty special: - welcome whisky cocktail in the form of a warm hot toddy - duck donut with irn bru chilli jam - Gin punch bowl - potted mushrooms and dunsyre blue cheese - lobster broth - roast rack of pork, chargrilled plums, black pudding, chestnuts and a BUCKET OF CRACKLING!!! - whisky bread 7 butter pudding So having come here as a 2 we were on a table of 10 so lots of new people to meet, fear not by the end of the night it was as if we were all old friends, contact details were exchanged and further nights out planned. The hot toddy on arrival was a welcomed thing, coming in from a cold wet night, naked grouse with honey and lemon. A tried and tested classic. Duck donut.....irn bru chilli jam. Genius. A proper savoury donut with a sugar coating filled with confit duck meat. The irn bru chilli jam carried the flavour of the famous Scottish soft drink with a really nice heat. Surprising and delicious way to start the meal. mushrooms and blue cheese, again a tried and tested match, with the lovely crisp bread it was an unremarkable but delicious course. Lobster broth, every day 10 large Scottish lobsters are sacrificed to make this delicious soup. Well sized as apart of a five course meal it was a joy to eat and served in an innovative way. The cream top really cut through it and yeah it was gooood. NOW, when the menu say rack of pork expectations as to what is going to be delivered are pretty high, they were surpassed. This giant piece of meat arrived at the table on a massive block with carving knife and fork. Alongside a plate of veg + black pudding and a BUCKET OF CRACKLING. I mean I know I keep typing this in capitals but it feels deserved because I mean crackling...by the bucket. This forever should now be the measuring unit for crackling. The meat was succulent and tasty, so well cooked. The veg lovely, the black pudding and plums and great match and the crackling just topped it all off. A large jug of good gravy also passed around made for a satisfying main course. Desert, the British classis that is bread & butter pudding, again does as a large table serving we then split between the table. It was plentiful, it was whiskyful it was delicious! On our table happened to be a whisky journalist who managed to secure the table each a rob roy and then a bottle of the lovely naked grouse which added to our erm merriment. If you manage to grab a ticket for this go and be happy! If you miss out make sure you don't next time! For £40 it is incredible value! I mena crazy good value!!

I found Deeney's at the Regent's Plaza food market that occurs on the first Thursday of each month…read more They're full on Scottish and they make a selection of toasties with a Scottish flair. The first time I had the sandwich with everything. I can't remember the name, but it was The "something" Macbeth. It has haggis, bacon, cheese, rocket, mustard and onions. On some amazing bread. And it was delicious. I had another one today. With my good friend Isabel. This time I just got The Macbeth, which is the sandwich above without bacon. Mostly because while I love bacon, it seemed like it wasn't needed with the Haggis. At least for me. And it was also really tasty. Because Haggis is amazing. Thank you Scotland. And they were totally down on Isabel spending her Scottish pounds. Because Scotland! So that was also fun and exciting. Which led to a conversation with the guy on the grill about Northern Irish money and pound notes. So fun was had all around. If you want a delicious, cheesy gooey haggis sandwich, hunt down Sweeney's! You can definitely find them at the Regent's Plaza market, and their website has other locations you can find them! Go find them now!

However, I felt a little gypped since it was just served with some lettuce leaves and a slight drizzle of dressing. This 'salad' was practically a throw away item. I'm glad they cut the egg in half, because this is not the easiest thing to eat as street food. Also, the sausage could have been warmer. The good points were that the egg looked good with a rich, orange, soft yolk and had a crunchy outer surface. I think I'll stick to Scotch eggs in sit-down establishments though.

We've been more than a handful of times now and I can say without a doubt that they have the best selection of beers and the most tasty Porn Star Martinis. Our bartender was so amazing my drink was perfectly frothy and flavorful, I wish I was drinking one now. They do have a pizza menu, but if you're an American expecting some really good craft style pizza, this is not the place for you. The pizza felt more like those dollar pizzas you get a target and bake in your oven. Not good at all, they have to bake the pizza from the pie shop across the street, weird but it just came out crappy. I would still come and drink here, but I would definitely have to get Nandos around the corner to satiate my hunger.

Here, the service was scattered and confused. We ordered our starters and mains together, but didn't receive our main course until after requesting it...nearly 15 minutes after finishing our food and drinks. The food was good, but the expediency of our service was less than impressive. Between the time it took for us to receive our mains and the time to finally get our checks, we were hungry again. From Monday - Saturday, I'm sure this hippy, free-spirited adventure of a location is perfect for youngsters; however, if you're hungry for a Sunday Roast, I suggest you head to Blacklock instead.

The service was good as well. The servers were friendly and attentive. So why was I disappointed with Mac and Wild? The Venimoo burger! I'm unsure who voted the Venimoo as London's Best Burger 2016 because it's not even close to being in the top 10 burgers I've had in London. My burger was literally cold, not just room temperature, but actually cold. It might just be me, but something about a cold venison patty is unpalatable. The burger itself is served on a tray (why?) and when it comes out, the sight of the squished bun on a large metal tray is just sad. To top it off, it's just bland. On the up side, we did enjoy two things: the haggis mac and cheese and cheesy chips. If you do come here, I would highly recommend the haggis mac and cheese! (It's probably the only reason I would consider coming back.) It's incredibly rich and hearty; perfect for a winter's night. To summarize, maybe I visited Mac and Wild on an off day, but I really wasn't impressed with their burger. If you do pay them a visit, definitely order the haggis mac and cheese!

This bar room is absolutely gorgeous, and while the martini was tasty and would have been great in any setting, I'm sure it was all the more better for its surroundings. After not too long of a wait we moved into the light filled and airy dining room. Some of my party ordered from the small prix-fixe menu (I think it was 3 courses for 28 gbp) and some ordered a la cart, which was great that the whole table didn't have to pick one option. Every dish was very good, you really can not go wrong! I had the tomato tart to start, with the sole as my main, and a piece of cake for dessert. I think I sampled most of the dishes and would recommend the prix-fixe menu, as it is very reasonably priced and had the best dishes (celeriac salad, mushroom vol-au-vent, creme caramel).
