"Two or three courses: £22/£26 The longstanding gold standard of set lunches, Noble Rot offers one of London’s best deals at their restaurants in Bloomsbury, Soho, and Mayfair. If you’ve got £30-ish knocking about, this is where you spend it. You won’t get better-value fancy-ish restaurant cooking anywhere else. The set lunch menus change daily but expect lovely, light-touch, European-leaning things like braised chicken leg with beans and aioli before finishing with some kind of tart." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
