Review of Ginger Pig
08 Sep 07, 08:54
Meat at its very best 
In a modern middle-class world obsessed by food provenance and quality, Ginger Pig is one of those places everyone should have in there Little Black Book.
Tucked away in a side street off Marylebone High Street, it restores your faith in local butchers. Run by authentic-sounding Londoners, you can pretty much any cut of pork (as the name of the shop would suggest), but they also do great lamb, beef and chicken, plus top notch sausages and some demon pies in their charcuterie section.
Maybe it's all a little expensive, but then we are talking top-quality meat here, not scrag ends.

Review of Michael Moore

A charming top-notch dining experience
First things first - this has nothing to do with the controversial American film-maker: let's get that straight. I booked this for my partner's birthday on nothing more than a couple of things I'd read in newspapers, so was a little worried about what it would be like. I needn't have worried. An intimate little restaurant on a popular Noho street, the chef and owner has worked all round the world and has an eclectic, yet fantastic cooking style to match. The food was stupendous, the service attentive without being over-zealous and, a nice touch, Michael Moore himself came out at the end of the meal to introduce himself to all the diners in turn and ask them what they thought of the experience. He's kinda like Ainsley Harriott without the cheese and a better chef! Price: £40 per head I'd go there again like a shot.
