Fifteen (15 Westland Place, London, N1 7LP)

With the Oliver connection I was expecting inspirational but got average. We booked in the trattoria so cannot comment on the restuarant. The service was good with friendly staff, and the menu sounded good. It was a pity that the food didn't live up to the promise. The steak was offered as medium rare but looked more rare than medium, was stone cold and had a very strange stringy texture. Quite unlike any steak I have had before and I have had a few, from Kobi in Hong Kong to all sorts in upmarket reatuarants from New York to Australia. The same was repeated throughout the dishes served at our table.

My recommendation is try it once and if you don't like it go to your local Italian (with a real Italian chef). It will be cheap and probably better.

Le Champignon Sauvage (24-26 Suffolk Road, Cheltenham, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL50 2AQ)

Hard to review when the best was great and the worst was very poor. Plenty of space and pleasant decor. The serving staff were attentive without being too obvious. Many of the dishes were a little over complicated with a bit of this and a bit of that. The bread was excessively crusty and the brioch solid (even crunchy). We were told this is how it was supposed to be. The zander was over-cooked and “tough” but the partridge good. Things inproved with the dessert, the petit fours were great and the coffee ecellent.

Most of my eating out is done in London, the home counties and in foreign parts where I would expect and usually get better aspecially at the price.
