Bright dishes enliven the usually dull November. 

Heading towards the end of the year and time to let you see our Favourite Delicious Dishes 2025 (so far!!!). November, the month of the dead, saw a series of delicious plates mostly from city centre restaurants: ORSO's Aubergine Fritters,  Isaac's Chocolate Saint Emilion, rotisserie expertise from Spitjacks and Bakestone's Hot Nashville Chicken.
