"Launched with high hopes but ultimately closed permanently in November 2020, this small restaurant struggled to translate glowing early reviews into steady footfall. It underwent a modest reinvention with a refreshed makeover and menu in late 2019 but, as a compact site, became unfeasible under pandemic social-distancing rules. The founding chef issued an emotional farewell, calling the workspace a “tin can of a kitchen,” and fans are hopeful that signature snacks such as a crab and beef-fat chip offering might reappear in some form as the chef returns to London." - Adam Coghlan
