Bucking London's no-bookings trend, Old Tom & English is a reservations-only restaurant from co-owners of The Arts Theatre Club, Costas and Maria Constantinou. Hidden beneath Wardour Street, it has been designed by the critically acclaimed Lee Broom - responsible for the décor of The Nightjar - and brings together old Soho and new Soho, with the name referencing the 18th century British 'Old Tom' gin recipes. To gain entry guests must ring the doorbell of a heavy slatted wooden door and, if a reservation has been made, they will then be welcomed through a hidden hatch into an intimate dining space. Broom's concept is a contemporary take on a 1960s home, with low lighting, a post-modern fireplace, sleek grey wool sofas and a vibrant red carpet. Served from bespoke decanters and glassware, the vintage cocktails are not to be missed. The menu includes two takes on an Old Fashioned, a smoked version and a barrel aged gin option; a Coffee Cocktail, made using fresh ground coffee and Tia Maria; and a Champagne Float, topping Cornish ice cream with gin and Pol Roger N/V. The food menu, meanwhile, consists of a number of small plates that allows guests to create their own tasting menu. Options include confit smoked guinea fowl, crispy cider braised pig cheeks and deep fried popcorn cockles.
