Suffolk chicken with leeks and prunes sounds particularly good as London heads into November. It’s on the menu at Bistro 1922, which opened at Sloane Place on 5 October. Chef George and his team champion British suppliers, with Cornish sardines served with preserved lemon and Aberdeen Angus skirt steak with fries. The cooking favours familiar dishes, with seasonal ingredients determining what goes alongside them.
There’s a changing dish of the day for those dropping in regularly, plus Sunday roasts for lunch with friends. The wine list offers straightforward pairings, so choosing a bottle needn’t become a project. For anyone staying at Sloane Place, the new bistro makes an evening at the hotel a tempting prospect in its own right.
