Review: @boroughbrothcompany by Editor In Chief @ellenpope

"There’s something so comforting about having a proper bone broth on hand… and these little cubes from Borough Broth have completely changed the game for me.

I’ve always loved their broths, but as someone cooking for one, the pouches were sometimes a bit much.

These frozen cubes are such a simple fix. Just pop one out, add it in, and suddenly your stew, sauce or gravy has that slow-cooked depth without the wait.

I’ve been using both the chicken and beef cubes in everything, and even started having a cup in the morning for a little collagen boost. (the wrinkles are wrinkling). It’s become one of those easy habits that actually feels good.

What I love most is how clean and thoughtful it all is. No unnecessary extras, just proper organic bone broth, slow-cooked and reduced down into something really convenient.

It’s one of those small swaps that makes a big difference."

Is anyone else a bone broth fan, or is this your sign to start? by @chattingfood

💌 There is just something so special about a handwritten note… it instantly makes everything feel more personal, more thoughtful, more loved. More of this please.

And this one came with something I am very excited to try 👀

I still very much have my L plates on when it comes to kombucha, but this MOMO Kombucha collab has completely caught my attention. Blood orange, but make it seasonal, small-batch and seriously beautiful 🍊

This limited edition Carmelo’s Blood Orange Kombucha is made using Sicilian Moro blood oranges (the really good ones), blended with raw, unfiltered kombucha, plus a little hibiscus and elderflower to round it all out, sounds exactly like my kind of drink.

Also… can we talk about how good this looks? 👉

I cannot wait to try this one and report back.

Anyone else a fan of @momokombucha by @chattingfood

Dom Chapman — the talent behind kitchens at The Fat Duck and Michelin-starred The Royal Oak Paley Street — joins forces with restaurateur Nigel Sutcliffe to launch @thejackonewbury this May.

Set in the Berkshire countryside, this restaurant, pub and rooms concept feels like a true passion project. Expect bold, flavour-driven British cooking rooted in seasonality, with dishes that celebrate both local produce and classic technique.

Think wild venison faggots, roast Cornish seabass and proper British puddings — all served in a beautifully restored village inn with serious destination appeal.

With @domchapman pedigree and Nigel’s decades of hospitality expertise, this is one opening firmly on our radar for 2026.

Lita has officially appointed @kostas_papathanasiou_ as Culinary Director — and it’s a move that signals serious intent.

With experience spanning some of the world’s most celebrated kitchens including The Fat Duck, The Ledbury and Restaurant Frantzén, Kostas brings a quietly confident, ingredient-first approach that feels perfectly aligned with Lita’s modern Mediterranean identity.

Think seasonality, simplicity and live fire cooking — but elevated with precision and a refined, contemporary edge.

Having been leading the kitchen since late 2025, his influence is already clear, with an evolving menu that feels both thoughtful and instinctive. And the proof? Lita has retained its Michelin star in the 2026 guide — no small feat.

This is a restaurant continuing to grow in confidence, and with Kostas at the helm, it’s only getting more exciting.

. @chefdomtaylor is back — and this might just be his most exciting chapter yet.

At @thegoodfrontroom__ , the acclaimed chef brings a more confident, stripped-back energy to Caribbean fine dining. Gone is the need to prove anything, what remains is precision, flavour, and a clear sense of identity.

Set in #Dalston, this is Caribbean cooking reimagined. Expect small plates that honour tradition while leaning into modern technique. Jerk chicken arrives refined and delicately spiced, while dishes like fried seabream with escovitch take you straight to Jamaica, just with a sharper, more elegant edge.

Standouts include the Ackee & Saltfish croquette, a clever, contemporary take on a national classic, and sides like baked three-cheese mac that deliver all the comfort, just elevated.

Weekend brunch shifts things again, with dishes like lobster French toast and goat sausage beans on toast bringing a playful, globally influenced twist.

At £85 for three courses, this is firmly in fine dining territory, but for something this unique in London, it feels justified.

A confident, flavour-led return from a chef who knows exactly what he’s doing.

Tucked inside @hotelindigo Bath, @brasseriebeaubath is the kind of place that quietly wins you over.

Set within a beautiful Georgian townhouse, it strikes that perfect balance between elegant and relaxed. The atmosphere feels grown-up but never formal, with a dining room that invites you to settle in, whether for a long lunch, a celebratory dinner or a Sunday roast.

Led by Executive Chef Bruce Theobald, the menu champions British produce at its best. Expect simple, confident dishes that let quality ingredients do the talking, with flavours that feel both comforting and refined. It’s thoughtful cooking without the fuss, and all the better for it.

Add in a strong wine list, a lively cocktail bar and a terrace made for sunnier days, and you have a restaurant that feels as suited to locals as it does destination diners.

If you’re planning a Bath escape, this is one to book.

Potato lovers, this one’s for you. @billsrestaurant has teamed up with the internet’s favourite “Potato Queen” @poppy_cooks to launch a limited-edition menu celebrating all things crispy, golden and seriously indulgent.

Landing nationwide from 13 April to 8 June, the collaboration brings Poppy’s viral comfort food creations into restaurants for the very first time. Expect dishes like a loaded burger topped with crispy smashed potato, golden tater tots piled high with bold flavours, and her signature crispy smash potato salad.

It’s nostalgic, flavour-packed and exactly the kind of feel-good food Bill’s does best.

Available at all Bill’s locations across the UK for a limited time.
