As such, it’s a highly defensible castle, with two defensive walls and a moat, so it feels very castle-like.

"A delivery, Deliveroo-only kitchen — so proceed informed — which adds a regionally diverse option to a share of good Cantonese options in west London.

"Mukaddes Yadikar’s acclaimed Uyghur restaurant, is Walthamstow’s finest neighbourhood restaurant. It remains open for takeaway and is delivering through Deliveroo. A great option both for smaller and larger households with dishes such as chaomian, a stir-fry of short, cut lengths of noodle wokked with chunks of of beef, spring onion and tomato; and the trademark da pan ji (‘big plate chicken’): a remarkably deep, savoury, and spicy chicken and potato stew, teeming with Sichuan peppercorns, served with flat hand-pulled noodles."

Must tries include the aubergine and tofu in black bean sauce, the three mushroom fried rice, char siu pork and panko prawn balls snack starter."

"The Red Duck officially opened in the pre-Christmas period when the long winter lockdown was imminent. As a result, the majority of its growing customer base have only been able to sample its modern Cantonese specialties via home delivery. The Balham restaurant is the first solo venture of chef Chi San, who has worked in the industry for 30 years with a stint under the formidable British-Chinese restaurateur Alan Yau."
