The icing on the cake is that they are both excellent cooks, Martin brings a Swiss flavour to the table and Isabella brings her French flavours which is a very interesting combination of influences. I've had their mackerel sandwich which is really tasty and healthy. Their coffee is really great as well as the many other options on the menu, from breakfast and lunch to cakes! They always have a selection of daily newspapers which are great to have a snoop over. Keep up the good work guys.

Overall, the meat filling was delicious. I was nervous about the eating cold aspect but this was quite pleasant. The pie crusting was a bit thick for my taste, but worth the try. And the pie itself was huge, definitely only needed one.

Hand raised hot water crust pastry enclosing juicy local pork in a delightfully delicate jelly. They make a small range of other excellent cold eating pies like game pie and pork & stilton. They have also recently started making hot pies - steak, steak & kidney, and lamb which are as tasty and moreish as the pork pies. Have been known to buy them Saturday and heat them and eat them mid week with lashings of mash, pots of peas and a smear of ketchup. Just gorgeous.

We got a pasty - there were so many varieties but we settled on the traditional Cornish pasty. It was filled with beef, potatoes, and onions in a gravy. We weren't expecting much but we were sort of floored by how delicious it was. I know that locals go there because a Londoner was scolding a tramp who kept asking for money just ahead of us in line and I could hear his accent pretty thick. It was convenient to grab it and eat it on the bus on the way to our next location. We felt that this huge pasty was certainly worth the price. We were both sated for a long while from sharing one together.

You get a real taste of Cornwall being in this smuggler's den like venue and having the smell of Cornish pasties wafting up the stairs from the pasty shop below. You have to hunt out this place through the market stalls and crowds of people enjoying the street acts but once you've found it you won't want to leave! Its balcony looks out over the performance area of Covent Garden and it gives off a really friendly vibe that makes you want to go back again and again! It's a fabulous place at Christmas as well when they put the huge Christmas tree up outside in the market.

I came here for a friend's birthday and whilst we didn't stay long (we were doing a bit of a pub…read morecrawl!) I liked this place. It was more the atmosphere that struck me than the drinks. It was an interesting layout that made the place feel very intimate and not spread out and sprawling like many pubs. You could have a private conversation whilst tucked away in your own little corner of the place. We tried to go out onto the balcony, but it was a bit too crowded so we stayed inside which was just as well since it was a bit chilly.

Come to meet friends or to chill by yourself. You can sip tea served in lovely vintage silver tea pots and casually flip through Bond & Brook's extensive library of fashion photography books. This place is both stylish yet casual and relaxed, and a great spot to catch your composure from the mental Black Friday/Shambolic Saturday chaos happening outside. There's also afternoon tea, coffee, hot chocolate, desserts, cakes and cocktails, as well as more substantial breakfast and lunch meals on offer. A very lovely elegant cafe.

I wanted to book somewhere luxurious that didn't break the bank (Claridges and The Ritz look like the ultimate experience but very pricey!). So after a lot of reading I decided on Bond & Brook. The reviews I'd read where right, it's a beautiful small restaurant, very quiet even though it is in the centre of things. There was a lot of food, we couldn't finish the scones. There are no refills, but for us it didn't matter. I asked for a refill of our tea pot, I could see the waitress was ready to launch into "we don't do refills" before I'd even finished speaking! I ask if we could just have some hot and she obliged kindly. All in all great value for money.
