Dorothy and Marshall
Big, tasty things are putting Bromley Town Hall firmly on the foodie map this autumn. A fittingly British menu will be served in the dining room of the Grade II-listed building, which was once the old courthouse. Local chef Ralph Jones is in charge of the kitchen, cooking up a menu promising treacle for both mains and pud (yes, really!). We’re talking a steaming dish of braised beef short rib with Guinness and black treacle, followed by a dessert of Golden Tate and Lyle treacle tart with raspberries topped with whipped almond clotted cream.
Dorothy and Marshall, 4 Court Street,
Bromley BR1 1AN.
Opening in November, hours TBD.

Rambutan
It’s not usual to serve dessert before mains, but then chef, restaurateur and author Cynthia Shanmugalingam is not striving for normality. Okay, she won’t really be serving pudding before mains, but she did tease her latest Sri Lankan restaurant with a soft serve pop-up this summer, with flavours including Nestlé product Milo, banana and toasted rice. The restaurant proper is due to open on Borough’s prestigious Stoney Street this autumn, with menu highlights including aged mutton rolls, Jaffna crab fried rice with bitter greens, and bone marrow curry.
Rambutan, 10 Stoney Street, London SE1 9AD. Opening date and hours TBD.
