"A meal at an ocakbasi grill is arguably London’s most crowd-pleasing group feast. There are plenty of options to choose from around north east London (especially in Green Lanes), but it’s Mangal 1 that we often find ourselves returning to. Sweetbreads are the speciality at this bustling Dalston institution. This Turkish spot is BYOB too, so bring a bottle of something nice." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
