"There is a whole lot to enjoy from the daily blackboard menus at this relaxed, understated operation. Both the décor and the cooking have a rustic edge to them, with the latter British-based, seafood-centric and guided by the seasons. Both individual and communal seating are available to enjoy the flavoursome dishes from, as is the kitchen counter, while the attentive team deal well with the buzz of a permanently busy restaurant. Quality sourdough is provided by their sister operation Jolene and while other dishes may come and go, the rum baba remains a constant." - Michelin Inspector
"Wine and small plates is a thing. Most people know this nowadays so, to be honest, it’s quite long saying it over and over again. So from now on we’ll refer to these restaurants as WASPs because it’s easier. Westerns Laundry is a WASP restaurant, from the same people as WASP OG Primeur. Its focus is on seafood plates—but not solely so—with the menu changing daily and according to what’s in season. The food here is really very nice, as is the setting of a slightly hidden old garage in Drayton Park. It’s a great and romantic spot for a date or for a catch-up with a friend. Just don’t go with more than one person, because small plates." - jake missing
"For mums who like a different kind of laundry We hope you’re past the point of your mum washing your clothes, but this place is for all the years she did. And even if she didn’t, she deserves it anyway. The Westerns Laundry hype has calmed down a bit now, at least we think it has, and it’s a great spot to take your old dear. For starters it’s got a very interesting natural wine list. Also for starters, it’s got some cracking jamon croquettes. It’s mostly fishy sharing plates, so as long as your mum hasn’t got a problem with things from the sea, it’s happy days." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"You can now get a set ‘pre-theatre’ menu from 6 to 7pm starting with one course for £18, and 2 courses for £25 at this seafood restaurant and wine bar in Highbury. They also have a four course set menu from 7.30 onwards for £35." - rianne shlebak
"Easily one of London’s nicest restaurant spaces, Western’s Laundry have switched from their covered lockdown market into covered lockdown dining now that restaurants have reopened. Their full seafood-leaning menu is back on the board, so expect things like baked cuttlefish fideo pasta and aioli or turbot and pink fir potatoes with butter sauce or. There are a couple of meat bits too, but you come here for the fish and the funky biodynamic wine list." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
