The best restaurants in Islington | Spectator Life

That’s not to say that you won’t find the odd bit of cod thrown in and the takeaway menu (a good shout for fancy fish and chips) isn’t quite as out there.

The small menu changes according to what’s available on the day, on tap are a good run of independent, often organic beers and in the cellar all the wines are either organic or biodynamic.

As you might guess from the name, The Pig & Butcher is quite a carnivorous place but the menu does have a good choice of vegetarian plates too.

Just across from The Elk in the Woods (and equally impossible to find a spot in come the weekend), the second opening of The Breakfast Club team is a worthy spot for brunch.

They just dusted down the 1940s sign they found on the premises and got on with serving similarly no-fuss food: good toast, good muesli and good breakfast sandwiches.

Lunch at Great Dixter: cooking with the fruits of Christopher Lloyd's ...

Midday in the kitchen at Great Dixter and the vegetable  gardener, Aaron Bertelsen, uncorks a bottle of cold white burgundy.

Designed by Edwin Lutyens (he combined two houses, one from the 15th and one from the 16th century and added to them), Great Dixter, in Northiam, East Sussex, was home to one of Britain’s most loved gardeners and writers, Christopher Lloyd.

'This is exactly what Christo would have done,’ says Bertelsen, pouring generous glasses.

But this is not a house and garden set in aspic.

A constant stream of people – gardeners, office staff, friends – drift in and out.
