From Shoreditch lunches and pizza collaborations to Mediterranean spring plates and a Central European set menu built for pre-theatre drinks, these are the latest offers shaping the wave of new menus in London. Here are five of our faves:

1. For a Set Menu: The Delaunay Bar

What:The Delaunay Bar introduces a new set menu, a polished, Central European-leaning offering that wraps a full dinner-and-drinks experience into one neatly packaged, martini-laced deal.

Eat: For £25, it’s a tightly edited trio: choose between a crisp, golden chicken schnitzel or superfood salad, both paired with pommes frites and a bracingly cold No. 3 Gin Martini. An absolute bargain. The Delaunay Bar is still one of London’s more reliably chic spots to perch, sip, and pretend you’re en route to somewhere far more glamorous.

2. For a  Chef Residency: Rho at The Pilgrm

What: A slice of the Cyclades lands in Paddington, as The Pilgrm’s guest chef series welcomes Marios Miliorellis and his Greek island concept, Rho, for a summer-long chef residency.

Eat: Expect dishes that feel rooted in Chef Marios’ Greek heritage and childhood food memories: slow-roasted lamb Mastelo with smoked mackerel mash and crisp vine leaf; Tonos Lountza, a delicately dressed tuna tartare with wine must and violet; and golden Metsovone cheese croquettes. Kotopoulo Kontosouvli, herb-marinated chicken skewers with a punchy hit of spicy feta, while dessert, Aphrodite (Greek yoghurt ice cream sculpted into the goddess herself), brings a playful, honeyed finish.

3. For a Spring Menu: Hg 

What: As London shifts into spring, we may not be blessed with sunshine and blue skies every day, but we sure do deserve a daily dose of sunshine on the plate. Enter Honest Greens (known as Hg over here) with a host of brand new seasonal dishes designed to bring brightness, texture and depth to breakfast, lunch and dinner, and everything in between.

Eat: Among the new dishes is the Crunchy Tuna Tartare, a layered, textural plate combining fresh tuna with yellow chilli and soy, balanced by passion fruit and finished with coriander, leek and tajín. The Green Harissa Bowl offers a deeply satisfying plant-forward option. A base of kale, spinach and lettuce is paired with seasonal asparagus, black rice, beans and a wide mix of seasonal greens including fennel, broccoli, celery and sugar snap peas.

4. For a Dip Menu: Pizza Pilgrims

What: Pizza Pilgrims goes all in on the nation’s crust obsession with a new limited-edition set of dips, teaming up with a handful of cult-favourite British brands for The Great British Crust Comeback.

Eat: The Double Dip menu brings four sauces, each riffing on flavours that will feel instantly familiar. There’s Dishoom’s punchy chilli chutney, Honest Burgers’ rosemary chips-inspired dip, Pho’s rich peanut sauce and Sweet Dee’s Jerk BBQ bringing a smoky-sweet kick. It’s all designed to solve a very British problem – how to make pizza crusts worth finishing – and, frankly, it’s a winner with us.

5. For a Set Menu: Bun House Disco 

What: Bun House Disco leans into the lunchtime rush with its new Disco Express menu – a tightly priced, high-energy set designed to lure you away from sad meal deals and predictable desk lunches.

Eat: For £18, you get the full line-up: one bun, one snack, one main and a drink (for a small top-up). Buns are filled with either chicken, lamb, beef or veg, while snacks come in the form of smacked cucumbers, MSG fries or prawn spring rolls. Get involved, stat.
