"The issue with trying to make your birthday look effortless is that it, well, requires quite a lot of effort. The Plimsoll can help with that. Booking your birthday dinner here says “I am a cool, casual person” while also saying “I am in the know about London’s best cheeseburger”. This Finsbury Park boozer will even pop a candle in their outstanding piece of beefy, buttery craftsmanship for you, and we’d pick the Basque cheesecake over a bog standard birthday cake any day." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
