WHAT'S THE DRAW: Taking residence at the buzzy new Hoxton Hotel in Holborn, H&B could just as well stand for hustle and bustle. Get ready for a whole lot of meat, prepared simply and cooked exquisitely.

WHAT TO DRINK: Make sure you try the shrub cocktails, each with a different foraged infusion.

WHAT TO EAT: With categories like 'pig', 'cow' and 'bird', the mains shouldn't take you by surprise; the real creativity comes from sides like ricotta toast with fig and mint, and there's an unlikely star of the show in the fantastic brussel sprouts with bacon and sour cherry.
