"At Sweetings, two slices of buttered brown bread will be placed in front of you within a minute. An order of prawn cocktail isn’t mandatory, but it would certainly help what’s in front of you. Despite being open for more than 130 years, time at this lunch-only City institution seems to stand still. A heady mixture of pewter tankards, white tablecloths, and courteous waistcoat-clad waiters makes this seafood specialist truly one-of-a-kind." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
