Finally found my way to this place! Dan Keeling & Mark Andrew first created a no nonsense magazine that is going strong for 10 years already. In 2015 they opened Noble Rot Lamb’s Conduit. For me as a sommelier the perfect place. I could spend here hours. A cosy place, an extensive wine list, a broad amount of gems by the glass that change frequently, big smiles on the staff and fun conversations allround in the bar. Can’t wait to go back!

Personal, smart cooking by Sebastian Myers, brilliant wine list. Worth the trip to Haggerston!Such a great and personal restaurant in an unassuming location on a side street in Haggerston. The cooking by Sebastian Myers is fresh, seasonal, sometimes with surprising combinations and flavours but always delicious. Strong wine concept by founder Jonathan Alphandery - you could come here just for the wines. Separate tables and long communal bar table. Love this place!

Residencies and natural wine bar in the heart of London. Unique in its type, probably one of the best pop-up restaurants in the world, now in its new home in Fritzovia.

Mediterranean-inspired plates in a cosy wine barI actually prefer this to the Quality Chop House next door. Really delicious Mediterranean-ish food in a small cosy wine bar with attached shop. Casual and relaxed, but high quality cooking.

Seasonally crafted menu of wine-friendly fare cooked on a custom-made, open fire grill - with open kitchen and fire views. Recent highlights included mutton salami, Cornish sardines, veal sweetbreads and some of the best ribs I have had in my life - Iberico ribs. Some good natural and orange wines, too.

A low-key restaurant and natural wine bar in Soho. Candlelit and lovely with a daily scribbled menu promoting fresh, seasonal and local produce - charred celeriac flecked with salty ricotta and chunks of walnut, or how about hanger steak with cavolo nero? Weekday lunch specials come with a glass of wine for £10 - bloody outrageous!

A small chain of Italian restaurants in Mayfair focusing on its strong wine list (think Barolo and Brunello served by the glass) and northern Italian menu. We enjoyed the crispy fried sage, slow-cooked pork bruschetta with burrata, honey and pistachio and the lamb seared medium with charred chard. Booking essential as it packs out quickly.
