Plus, add in truffled roast potatoes, pigs in blankets and buttered deep-fried sprouts for dipping, finish with an apple strudel and go home, full and happy.

You know what makes a Monday better? Pasta. And where better to go for pasta than Padella. The pasta connoisseurs serve up plates of happiness, coated in parmesan. Not sure what to choose, we recommend the Pici Cacio e Pepe, it’s also one of the most Instagrammed dishes in London.

Cheesy Scotch Eggs
OMG! If you love Scotch eggs and cheese then you need to thank the person that decided to smoosh them together. Beara Beara Cafe has created these macaroni cheese scotch eggs and, quite frankly, we’d put these exquisite artists up there with the likes of Picasso as a result.
Ok, maybe we’re getting slightly carried away, but that’s what happens when food looks and tastes this darn good. Check them out here…

Bad Egg
Hip, informal eatery Bad Egg is by no means a bad egg on the food front. How do you like your eggs in the morning? Well, here you can have them however the hell you want and they taste darn good to boot. The eclectic all-day diner is a brunch hot-spot but prepared to get the fingers working out on that camera button.
