Henry Root

Situated near the former residence of William Donaldson – author of The Henry Root Letters – this airy bar/restaurant comes with eclectic ‘living room’ interiors & lots of cute touches. Set up by the masterminds behind Covent Garden barnstormer Terroirs, it takes a similarly enterprising approach to food & drink – so expect a menu of small plates plus a constantly changing list of organic, biodynamic & natural wines (ask the clued-up staff for guidance). Start with a charcuterie board or potted black pudding, move on to crispy fried veal belly with celeriac rémoulade & finish with a Cox’s apple & sherry trifle. At lunchtime, a burger plus a slice of cake & a glass of wine will set you back just £12.50, while French windows make it an attractive proposition for summer brunch.
