"Core By Clare Smyth is exactly the place to get involved in fine dining if you’re someone who, shockingly, actually wants a proper meal. Headed up by a chef whose CV reads like The Michelin Guide To Planet Earth, this converted townhouse in Notting Hill feels like your quietly fancy friend’s living room (read: candles, books, tasteful foliage, and plush grey seating). The food is a tour of excellent but familiar British produce, tweaked in interesting ways, and combined with the occasional unusual ingredient.
