Reys, restaurant review: This posh chicken shop is the long-awaited ...

So why have I made the trip to Cambridge for lunch in this particular posh chicken shop?

Behind the open kitchen, ranks of chickens rotate soundlessly and smell-lessly on spits.

Unlike Soho House's Chicken Shop group, which offers just rotisserie chicken and a handful of sides (at slightly lower prices), Reys' menu is a smash-and-grab of deep-fried wings, nasty open sandwiches, pulled-chicken buns and some Asian-inflected sides.

Deep-fried wings – disagreeable mouthfuls of fat, bone and batter –rapidly surrender their crispness to this one-note salsa; it masks any other flavour in a pulled chicken bun, and is slathered over – the horror – deep-fried battered sprouts, a dish which prompts my friend to hiss "who ordered the testicles?"

If they'd stuck to doing rotisserie chicken brilliantly, with a few solid sides, I could see it succeeding as a modern, slightly more upmarket rival to Nando's.

Restaurant Review: New Summer Menu at Pizza Express (The ...

It is a busy branch located close to Trafalgar Square so full of tourists as well as “yocals” but a fast turnaround with GLUTEN FREE options.

This includes their new Risotto Fresco, described on the menu as “Oak-roasted peppered salmon fillet, garlic and parsley in a creamy white wine risotto.

I would say the real food compares well with the “picture” which features on their Spring Collection marketing all around the restaurant and on the tables.

It is good to visit Pizza Express and not have a pizza (even if it is GLUTEN FREE: April 2014 Pizza Express Review and November 2013 Review) they now offer a risotto option that’s GLUTEN FREE.

I hope other “flavours” and more risotto dishes make it to their Summer Collection menu?!

review of London pizza restaurant Santa Maria by Andy Hayler in ...

Santa Maria opened in February 2010, and along with the original Franco Manca in Brixton market it redefined pizza in London.

Before Santa Maria London had progressed through the chain offerings of Pizza Hut and its rivals, with Pizza Express seeming the height of sophistication.

Santa Maria brought Naples style pizza to the capital in a serious way, educating the locals that a pizza base could be pliable and not rock hard.

The other was Santa Caterina (£8.95), whose toppings were mozzarella, tomato sauce, Naples salami, chilli and Parmesan.

According to the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletano, a pizza guild based in Naples that sets down rules for what constitutes an authentic Naples pizza, the ideal temperature should be 485C, but various accredited pizzerias have ovens that are a little less (or occassionally a little more) than this target.

Radici, London: restaurant review | Jay Rayner | Life and style | The ...

Meal for two, including drinks and service: £40 to £120 There is one dish on the menu at Radici, a new Italian in London’s Islington, which sums up the restaurant.

Over the years, I’ve actively overlooked the large matter of price because of the profound joys of his cooking, which is always right and always encouraging.

Or you could come for an £8 bowl of that soothing pasta, or for a sourdough pizza, with a rim of blistered edges at a price to rival the cookie-cutter high street.

There’s that list of pastas – a seafood fettuccine here, tiny ear-like shells filled with ricotta and fresh herbs there – and then the pizzas.

■ Santo Remedio, the Mexican restaurant reviewed so admiringly here, and which had to close due to premises problems, has a new London site.
