Food Scene
Holy Cow, to go out on a limb, might be Battersea’s best restaurant. The food is spicy and authentic considered, miles and miles away from any middling mediocrity (and indeed, central London.) The parbat lamb is thick with courgettes and garlic, aromatic and sensuous; the murg dhansak properly fragrant and tangy; the biryanis taste like the ones found just north of Delhi. Holy Cow does Mughlai dining, the dishes of mediaeval India: when people talk of food being ‘worth the calories’, they mean — if you can add reason to such an irksome phrase — this. Exactly this.

Nutbourne is the latest opening from the Gladwins – the foraging, vineyard-owning, Marmite eclair-making three brothers behind The Shed, in Notting Hill, and Rabbit on the King’s Road, Chelsea. Nutbourne is in the teething stage, but the concept, like its sister restaurants, is casual and eclectic, with religious devotion to top produce. The cuttlefish crackers with whipped cod’s roe are close to snack nirvana; the Tamworth pork chop is earthy next to sweeter bits of barbecued cherries and walnuts. Nutbourne is well on the way to measuring up to its elders.

The Latchmere is part of a small chain of South London pubs, most of which lie south of the river. It’s a spectacular building, showing some of the modernity that that has kept real ales and seafood boards relevant. Call it contrived, but you’ll find mighty burgers, steaks, and decent fish and chips – not that you should feel disinclined to go full ‘gastro’ with dishes like porcini and ricotta ravioli with walnut pesto on offer. Meat is sourced from their own farm in Hampshire; the atmosphere is warm and unpretentious. It’s cheery stuff.
