Village Organic Bakery Pizzeria

This west London spot certainly has a fair few feathers to its bow – it’s a bakery, pizzeria, deli, cooking school and café. There’s an emphasis on provenance, and every ingredient they use is organic – an ethos that extends to the beer and wine.

Pizzas prove popular, and are cooked in a traditional fire oven. They’re all named after famous people, so Marilyn Monroe – ‘The Mistress’ apparently – is topped with tomato sauce. buffalo mozzarella, artichokes and mixed peppers. Marlon Brando (‘The Godfather’) features tomato sauce, mozzarella, spinach, free-range egg and porcini mushrooms.

Elsewhere, quality coffee features alongside pastries, cakes, fresh smoothies and creative salads and soups. Home-baked bread is also a focus here, with sourdough a speciality.

Chicken Shop

Once the remnants of the three birds had repaired to their doggy bags, talk at the table turned to the subject of very worst meal the three minors among us had eaten. I’ve no idea why, because generally this chat garnishes only a hideous meal. But after a heated debate the laurels went to “Dad’s pea risotto”. It’s no picnic, this parenting lark, is it? You slave your guts out so that you can treat them to high tea in history’s most happening fast-food joint, and your only reward is derision.

The dishes come within minutes, so it was not long before the puddings arrived to dispel painful memories of that catastrophic risotto. A vast apple pie served in a farmhousey dish was nutmeggy, cinnamony and sensational. A huge slab of chocolate brownie, with vanilla ice cream, was generously studded with hazelnuts.
