I have walked passed Notting Hill Brasserie more times than I can remember, but ate there for the first time on Monday evening.  The food was superb, the service faultless and the informal vibe gave our private dining room, all the comfort of home, but without the washing up – heaven.

I have known the group of 16 friends for three years now  (we met through my son’s nursery) and being in their company made me feel blessed to live in London; a place where individuals from different walks of life come together- Spanish, Irish, Scottish, Jewish, Indian, Greek, American and even an Englishman!
