176 Drury Lane, WC2B 5QF; jarkitchen.com

Nearest Tube: Covent Garden

WHAT'S THE DRAW: A cosy refuge from Drury Lane's manic bustle, Jar Kitchen dishes out fuss-free modern British grub from chef Dominik Moldenhauer.

WHAT TO DRINK: Red, red wine – the list may be small, but it's spot-on. We plumped for a plummy Argentinean Finca Las Moras malbec, which went down a treat with our ox cheek and cheddar croquetas.

WHAT TO EAT: Juicy pork belly, served with smoked cabbage and a hazelnut crumble. Save room for dessert though: the cinnamon-sugared mini donuts and fluffy vanilla cream are the perfect amount of naughtiness.
