Brick walls in London

“We used Hiding in the City for our London wedding in February 2019. Sarah and team were so lovely and easy to work with. She listened to our ideas and brought them to life with a ‘can do’ attitude and approach. We gave Sarah creative license to deliver something truly special. The result was a dream wedding with the wow factor and a contemporary, cool feel. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for something unique and impressive. Thank you Sarah and team!”

“I really love this concept. This was my second time in London and eating at Flat Iron this year and they didn't disappoint. Once you walk in, they get you seated, bring you a cup of popcorn immediately while you're waiting for the service to make your order. The steak is delicious and once you're paying you'll get a small "coin" for an exchange for the ice cream at the bar as you're leaving. I love this concept! No extra charges for the popcorn and ice cream. Good job!”

“It was the best Omakase experience in my life. Start with the clam soup which had already made me super satisfied!! Highly recommended!”

“Has this place shut down somone said it had a for sale sign. I had lovley goddards pie and mash out of there not long ago”

“Lovely people serving, had a friendly chat and a tasty breakfast.”

“Went for the Jeremy Shada concert and it was an amazing experience all around and staff where so lovely and welcoming, brilliant!”

“Incredible food, amazing atmosphere and a cool beer garden. Local graffiti artists have created a really unique interior. I would absolutely recommend visiting if you are ever in East London.”

“The food tastes very authentic, rare for a good Chinese restaurant.”

“Stokey Records Bar is in the basement under Trattoria Da Luigi. You enter through the restaurant and head down the stairs at the back.”

“Visited the store in Greenwich Market, did not know the brand before, but the staff was really friendly and professionally explained the materials of shoes and their stories. I bought a pair of shoes, and enjoyed the whole shopping experience.”

“This place is amazing. Food, wine, decor, ethos and service impeccable.”

“Commer coffee is amazing, still the best coffee I have ever tried and I’ve tried a few, love getting the low down on what’s going on locally, cakes are pretty awesome too. You’ll always getting a smile and some friendly chat even on the gloomiest days.”

“I had sandwich here, my husband had noodles...very natural, I have not tasted noodles quite like this when i tasted my husband's noodles... my husband kept telling him that his noodles was great. I love the ambiance...welcoming, home and family feel. He treats everyone with respect and we enjoy our time our as a couple. There are novels for rent as well.”

“This place is a secret gem! Marcelo has been a serving up delicious sarnies and seasonal soups for the local community for a while now and it never disappoints. Highly recommend the sausage sandwich!!”

“Yum food served by the gem of staff. Fresh and delicious food prepared with lots of care, we tried most of the vegetarian items on the menu and loved them all - Tortelloni Al Funghi was an absolute knockout. If in doubt between other restaurants and this one when in Borehamwood, don't think twice.”

“One of the best lunch spots for a hearty and delicious satay chicken and rice! Always go for the large even though the standard portion is pretty hefty. The pickles are amazing and the rice is always perfectly cooked. I get it at least once a week and the staff are always friendly! Highly recommended!”

“The Momo was excellent, I would definitely recommend trying the chilli if you like it spicy! The owners are great people with very friendly chat and big smiles, truly a hidden gem! Will definitely be going back to try some more authentically cooked Nepalese food!”

“Love this place, great food and really good atmosphere. Quick service and really nice vibe on the street. Also Guinness on tap so happy days!!”

“Welcoming staff and a very warm environment with a brill view of the park :) ! Absolutely love your ethos too :)”

“As you maybe aware I’m a big foodie who loves dining out in the finest of restaurants. But when it comes to choosing wine we either go for the countries that we know or we leave it to the recommendations of the sommeliers. So with this in mind we wanted to broaden our horizons let’s say by learning more about wine in general ie taste , smell , tannins , acidity etc. with the additional knowledge of knowing what wine wine is good value for money and which style of wine goes with which style of food. So we gave it some thought and approached our good friend and drinks expert Alison Taffs at the Hop Inn Hornchurch our local micro pub to see what she thought and because it was only going to be the two of us if it would be worth her while. But after a little chat we discussed a budget so it would make her time and effort worthwhile. We gave her a couple of weeks to put together a format and gather some wines to taste and talk about. This led us to sunday when our tasting would take place. We arrived at the Hop Inn and our table was laid out in the corner. You could see straight away that Alison had put a lot of effort into this to which we were very grateful. She had laid out tasting note sheets , an iPad screen displaying various information and a list of the six wines we would be tasting. She decided that we should keep the discussion to european wines and in particular Portugal , France , Austria & Germany. Her knowledge was incredible as she guided us through the different stages of tasting wine. This begins with appearance which will include the colour. This is followed by smell , condition , intensity and the character. Then it’s time to taste to find out if the wine is sweet or dry as well as how much acidity , length , body and tannins. To finish you would decide what type of food you would match the wine with. We followed this by talking about pricing and what wines from specific regions when you look at a wine list are good value for money. This information really was invaluable and will certainly help us in the future. We’d personally like to thank Alison for a fabulous wine tasting afternoon. To listen to her knowledge and passion really was a pleasure and we definitely got more out of this than we first thought. I would highly recommend if your interested in wine to arrange a session yourselves whether your a couple like us or a larger group you will certainly benefit from her vast experience in the industry. We’re certainly looking forward to booking another session with her soon”

“totally recommend, very nice staff and great work, I had my first piercing here and they explained everything to me and were very nice to me, just a great atmosphere and professionalism from everyone”

“Our favorite local Italian. Gianni is a great gentleman - he always greet locals/regulars with a big smile and nice gestures. We’ve loved this place from our fist visit in 2018 and continue to do so. Needless to say their Neapolitan pizzas and pastas are exquisite! It’s casual and family friendly too. Go, relax and enjoy company with beautifully cooked dishes by skilled Italian chefs.”

“We got the Mezze and Tagine. It was so good. Couldn't fault a thing. Very good value for money. Particularly recommend the Chicken Roll Pastry, and the Baba Ganoush!”

“This was our first visit as we were just visiting the area for a few days. It was absolutely fantastic. The ambience of the place is amazing and the food is so delicious, fresh and authentically Lebanese/Arabic. The portions were very generous and we just could not stop eating. The bread was freshly baked and so tasty. Amazing service from the lovely staff Levi and Ali who were very welcoming and professional. A very special thanks to the chef, Hani. We wanted a couple of things changed on the dishes we had ordered and we did not mention this before until we were served with our food. However, the chef gladly accommodated this and brought back our dishes exactly like we wanted and with a smile. Couldn't have had a better meal. He even made a special dessert for us which was just so tasty and mouth watering that we ordered another portion to take away with us. Please make sure you add this to your menu? Highly recommend.”

“The tasting menu was amazing. Truly great food and lovely staff. Great wine pairings. I normally hate mushrooms, but their mushroom buckwheat popcorn dish was a winner. Our party had a lovely time.”
