The first additional project from the cool Public House group behind The Pelican and The Bull in Charlbury. This little Italian restaurant sits on the former Pizza East site on Portobello road and remains an Italian restaurant thanks to the amazing wood-fired ovens left behind that the team couldn’t bear to part with. Head chef, Jessica Filbey, is a River Café alumni and her daily-changing pizza toppings (tallegio, girolles and thyme; mortadella, ricotta and lemon zest) are a good place to start. Next up, might be pumpkin ravioli with sage butter or gnocchi with sausage ragu. It’s walk-ins only so arrive at 12pm to get a table, and stay for long enough that you can head straight upstairs to The Fat Badger for supper.

Calluna stocks a large selection of beautiful flowers, vases and indoor plants. Whether you are looking for the perfect bouquet for your wedding or simply want one for home, at Calluna you will find yourself in flower heaven. 

Run, don't walk to Layla Bakery. From their seasonal specials - including a blood orange pistachio danish, or an earl grey meyer lemon - to the classics, Layla Bakery is the neighborhood spot of Ladbroke Grove. Sit on the patio on a sunny day and watch the people go by. 

For some of the most colourful and beautiful bouquets we have ever seen we always head to Absolute Flowers & Home. Here, no bouquet is too extravagant. Grab a present for a friend or family member or one for yourself.
