"Despite the seafood focus at this friendly wine bar and sharing plates restaurant just near the Clock Tower, it’s their frankly enormous lockdown-era takeaway-only cajun buttermilk chicken burger with som tam and sriracha mayo that haunts our dreams. Other standout menu options include a punchy and perfectly cooked pile of garlic and ginger prawns swimming in a smoky chilli sauce that you will 100% be licking off the plate, and a lobster fennel, dill, yuzu, and lemongrass bisque that we wouldn’t think twice about ordering. There’s also a good choice of oysters (both dressed and, um, naked) as well as a great selection of wine for both drinking in and taking away. Or, ZapZaa’s crispy chicken wings and pork belly with chilli and basil leaves are go-to orders, while Through The Woods is a small 16-seater that does a £40 set menu and many-part meal kits for those nights when you want to go on and on." - oliver feldman
