Planning notes for London

Must-try foods in London

• Sunday Roast with Bone Marrow Gravy
  Sunday Roast with Bone Marrow GravyA quintessential British tradition reaching new heights in 2026. While classic beef and Yorkshire puddings remain, the trend has shifted toward 'elevated' versions featuring 45-day aged beef, duck-fat roasted potatoes, and rich bone marrow gravy. Top spots like The Harwood Arms and Hawksmoor continue to dominate.
• Hand-Pulled Biang Biang Noodles
  Hand-Pulled Biang Biang NoodlesThe obsession with regional Chinese cuisine, specifically Shaanxi-style 'belt' noodles, remains a London staple. These wide, flat noodles are hand-stretched and doused in a signature mix of chili oil, black vinegar, and garlic. Hotspots like Huo in Belsize Park and the ever-popular Master Wei are the go-to for this spicy, chewy comfort food.
• Venison Scotch Egg
  Venison Scotch EggA sophisticated twist on the picnic classic. London's gastropubs have turned the humble Scotch egg into a gourmet starter. The version at The Harwood Arms, featuring a perfectly runny yolk encased in rich venison sausage and a crispy breadcrumb shell, is considered the gold standard and a must-try for any local or visitor.
• Pasta with Nduja and Pistachio
  Pasta with Nduja and PistachioItalian food is as popular as ever, but the 2026 focus is on specific regional ingredients like spicy Calabrian Nduja and Sicilian pistachios. New openings like Tiella Trattoria and the expansion of Padella into Soho highlight a city-wide demand for 'slow-cooked' sauces paired with daily-made silk-handkerchief pasta.
• Sri Lankan Hoppers
  Sri Lankan HoppersThese bowl-shaped fermented rice flour and coconut milk pancakes are iconic in London’s South Asian scene. With Hoppers opening a massive new flagship in Shoreditch in early 2026, the dish—served with spicy 'sambols' and 'karis'—has solidified its place as a trendy, vibrant alternative to the traditional curry house.
• Mince on Toast
  Mince on ToastOnce a humble home-cooked meal, 'Mince on Toast' has become a darling of the modern British bistro scene. High-end versions, such as the one served at The Pelican, use premium grass-fed beef and rich reductions on thick-cut sourdough, tapping into a nostalgia-driven trend for 'unpretentious' British comfort food.
