WHAT'S THE DRAW: No-fuss, no frills and with a buzzy atmosphere, Ben's Canteen brings great burgers, daintier small plates and a signature brunch menu to two South West London locations and counting.

WHAT TO DRINK: As well as good craft beers, cocktails are the way to go. In particular, the Rhubarb & Aperol spritz (£9) – an original creation – is excellent.

WHAT TO EAT: Pimped Up Pulled Pork Nachos (£7) are a great sharing starter; burger-wise, the Korean-influenced K-Town burger (£9) with kimchi and pickled cucumber, is an assault on the palate. In a good way.
