"Okay, so it’s 10pm and you’re all shuffling around Soho, tipsy from those pints at The Coach and Horses, and wondering whether it’s socially acceptable to just offer everyone a tinny and a single Marlboro Light as their dinner so you can finally sit down. Stop. Breathe. And now make your way to Old Compton Brasserie, which, aptly, is on Old Compton Street. A huge modern, glossy brasserie, this place is open from lunch until late every day of the week and although none of the food here will change your life, it’s a great shout for some big booth dining and an even bigger menu that has something for everyone. Think vegan curries, a classic sirloin with steak frites, and salads for that mate who claims to be eating Keto again. Oh, also there are £10 cocktails throughout the night." - heidi lauth beasley
