St Leonards
The brilliantly named Jackson Boxer of Brunswick House has teamed up with the beautifully bearded Andrew Clarke to open St Leonards in Shoreditch named after the street it resides on.
Taking over Eyre Brothers, the focus at St Leonards is on fire and ice via an ice bar and open hearth cooking, so expect lashings of raw fish and flame-licked meat with a wine list championing boutique labels curated by Donald Edwards.
The pared down dining room seats 70 and serves the likes of wood-fired turbot with shrimp head butter and purple basil; smoked eel and foie gras; mackerel, soy butter and dandelion; and pork jowl with birch sap caramel.
