She said: Gutted to miss the soft launch 50% off by a day (a rare exercise of poor planning) we headed to this new fancy pub/restaurant in the once vast Middlesex Hospital near Goodge Street. The space is impressive – a fancy All-Bar One-like interior but with designer furniture. They were only doing a brunch menu when we went so I opted for a salmon salad with a martini both of which were very good. The prices are fine for where we are and what they do but more importantly, this is a great new hangout space for a relaxed meal and drinks in a trendy but comfortable setting. I can already see this being a fantastic Christmas spot and a see-and-be-seen space in the Summer.

He said: Percy and Founder was genetically-engineered to be successful. The space is vast, which is still rare for that part of London, and hits the boho-chic mark right on the head. It’s central yet off the main drag, so you get that feeling of discovery. Cocktails are under £10, and the food is British-ish, and really well executed. The only false note is that one of my dishes was served on something goofy, not a slate or a rock (I can’t quite remember) but something other than a plate, which is trying a little too hard and so last decade. I really enjoyed the vibe there, and pretty much everything else. This would be a great place to hang out with a bunch of mates. But, dear readers, now is the time to go; don’t delay! P&F is inside a really expensive new development, with offices and apartments about to be handed-over. It might not be long ‘til it’s teeming with blowhards, so go there while the going’s good, and I’ll see you there!
