London East Sheen Restaurant Guide

Proximity to Richmond Park – a large terrace for sunny days – and a comfortable, attractive interior help justify the ongoing inclusion of this eighteenth-century Fuller’s pub, near Sheen Gate. In other respects, its ratings remain resolutely ordinary.

Really top-class Indian cooking hits the spot at this offshoot of suburban superstar Dastaan (see also), on a busy stretch of road where the South Circular passes through East Sheen. Any suspicions that they “may be resting on their laurels” were allayed by an uptick in the ratings this year. Top Menu Tip – “perfect lamb chops”.

“An original greasy spoon on steroids” – this yearling in East Sheen is “the perfect venue for breakfast when you have the builders in your kitchen”, or whenever you just fancy a “fab English breakfast” featuring “out-of-this-world bacon”. Founder James Packman was inspired to create his signature ‘bacon & egg butty’ while working for French chef Bruno Loubet, and spent 10 years selling them from an old ambulance at street markets before opening his first bricks-and-mortar caff in his home suburb.
