Cash For Gold

"This huge three-storey pub and dining room in Notting Hill might not have a Gary Kemp lookalike serving its seasonal small plates, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t excellent. Although you’re looking at bigger prices than your average pub situation, dishes like wood-roasted whole sea bream and chargrilled squid are worth the extra spend. Gold's upstairs dining room is all exposed brick and linen banquette seating, but the downstairs area with its palm trees and glass ceiling is where you really want to be." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"Gold is a three-storey townhouse in Notting Hill hiding a light and modern conservatory with palm trees, a rooftop terrace, and more terracotta linen than your rustic dining room Pinterest board. In summer, blood orange negronis are clinked politely and drinks stream out from the sleek, spritz-ready bar. The food is modern European, which means seasonal tarted-up vegetables, zesty raw fish numbers, and hearty wood-roasted meat and whole fish dishes." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna, daisy meager
