      <description><![CDATA[Restaurateur Roberto Costa is entering the bourgeoning pizza space with a new brand that he says will challenge the dominance of ‘London-style’ pizza. Opening in Exmouth Market at the start of next month, God Save the Pizza will occupy the building that was formerly a site of Costa’s meat-focused restaurant Macellaio RC and is described as being on a mission ‘to flip the script on pizza-making orthodoxy’. The menu will be split into three tiers of pizza - Original, Revolution and Rebel - all made to a Roman-style of thin and crispy sourdough bases available as an 8-inch pizzetta, a 14-inch pizza to share, or a 12-inch gluten-free base, with every pizza sliced into eight to share. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Tom Seller’s search for a London pub and country house hotel Heckfield’s new bar, are among this week’s top news stories. - Tom Sellers is on the hunt for a London pub, asking David Rawlinson’s Restaurant Property to find a site with full extraction. The search is focused on Soho, Covent Garden, Marylebone, Notting Hill and Chelsea, although he is also open to ‘wildcard’ locations across Zones 1 and 2. It’s not the chef’s first foray into the pub world. In 2014, he took on the Grade II-listed Lickfold Inn near Petworth, West Sussex, alongside a local private investor. He is understood to have stepped away from the project shortly before the pandemic. Sellers is best known for Restaurant Story near London Bridge, which he opened in 2013 at just 26 and which now holds two Michelin stars.  
- Luxury Hampshire country house hotel Heckfield Place has opened a new bar inspired by the atmosphere of a traditional British pub. The Workman’s Bar ‘reinterprets’ the pub format, drawing on Britain’s industrial heritage through its use of ‘honest’ materials and understated design, while aiming to recreate the ‘warmth and conviviality of a neighbourhood local’. The bar is open to both hotel guests and non-residents, with a collection of paintings by Malcolm Teasdale and a food menu alongside drinks focused on local craft beers, fine wines and modern takes on classic British drinks from the 1950s including: the Heckfield Shandy, made with Surrey brewery Hogs Back’s Hogstar Lager and a zero-waste lemon cordial; a whisky and ginger ale infused with lapsang tea for a subtle smoky character; and a Babycham-inspired serve combining apple, pear and Champagne. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Barworks founder Marc Francis-Baum is to reopen The Peasant in Clerkenwell as George & Dragon in collaboration with Tom Brown and Brad Carter’s Island restaurant. The 1889 Grade II-listed pub on St John Street will reopen next month as a 110-cover venue spanning two floors. The ground floor will operate as a pub serving elevated classics while the first floor will be the new home for Island, Brown and Carter’s King’s Cross restaurant that recently announced it would be relocating.
Island, which launched at Mare Street Market King’s Cross in June 2025, will occupy a new 60-cover space in the pub and will continue to serve a surf and turf menu inspired by British produce and the chefs’ travels, with wild day-boat seafood and rare-breed meats on the menu.]]></description>
