I'm going to say something positive. London might be the worst late night City in the world but I would say it's probably the best long, pissed lunch City. Although Paris has the sort of places to compete, London has the world class drunken punters needed.

Best government hospitality guideline has to be the max 8 table size. Fuck off with your table of 22, “i only had a coke”, separate bills please,why is our order taking so long?, bring your own cake nonsense. Hope it becomes permanent law

So if you worked in restaurants you probably spent 4 lunches and dinners working and 2 of your nights off out to dinner. Is anyone else fucking amazed at 7 days of washing up every day? It’s never ending

When a restaurant succeeds there is no better feeling but when one fails it's devastating. It's a truly addictive business which thanks to totally being shit at school I luckily fell into. Love this industry

It's like putting the family dog out of its misery after 22 years. You remember when it ran around chasing the tennis ball but at the end it just shit in the living room. Sad, but glad it's over.

A sad day but it wasn't working. Good news is that we managed to keep all staff employed so zero redundancies. We very much live to fight another day!
We would like to thank all of our guests for supporting us throughout this year. Tomorrow, on Friday, we are closing our doors at Zelman Meats StPauls.
You are always welcome at Zelman…

Genius move. A fantastic opportunity for some people to experience a great restaurant that might not have been able to afford it before.
Hawksmoor restaurants will take part in Eat Out to Help Out by offering 300g rump steak, chips and sauce for £20. Anyone taking part in the scheme gets 50% off. The Best Steak and Chips in Britain for £10 will be Mon-Wed throughout August
