Tom Simmons Tower Bridge: MasterChef star cooks up a Welsh ...

Review analysis
food  

If you’re after leek soup, daffodils and dragons, then the first restaurant from Tom Simmons may not be for you.

While much of the pre-publicity behind the launch has focused on it being out-and-out Welsh, the Pembrokeshire-born chef (who reached the quarter finals of MasterChef: The Professionals in 2011) has chosen good food over gimmick.

Served soft enough to make a knife unnecessary, along with pancetta, roast baby onions and a red wine sauce; it is the kind of food made to be enjoyed not evaluated.

Wales can boast some increasingly good wine these days, but the predominantly Old Word offerings on the list here, including an earthy, plummy Chinon, are still a safer bet, while at the small bar downstairs, a short selection of cocktails is also served.

Starters from £8.50, mains from £18.50 and puddings from £7.50.
