Chez Bruce
Perfectly positioned overlooking the leafy expanse of Wandsworth Common, Chez Bruce is a high-end brasserie with a well-deserved star.

The menu is based on classic French and Mediterranean cuisine, and specialities include home-made charcuterie, slow-cooked braises and offal. Its cheese board is legendary.

The Latymer, Pennyhill Park
Under head chef Steve Smith, The Latymer takes on traditional combinations and gives them a modern twist.
