6 new set menus just added to All Set
Six new sets, from theatreland to Borough Market
Six fresh London set menus have just landed in the app this week, and together they cover an awful lot of ground. A velvet Soho jewel-box, a sunny Theatreland flagship, a Borough Market glasshouse, a Notting Hill Greek classic, a steakhouse a minute from the Savoy, and Firmdale's tucked-away brasserie behind Seven Dials.
Prices start at £21 for two courses and top out at £40 for three with a glass of sparkling on the house. Here are the six worth booking first.
01 · Jamie Oliver Catherine St
Covent Garden
A Theatreland flagship, two courses £26 / three £29.
A step from Theatre Royal Drury Lane, this flagship dining room is the obvious move before a matinee. The set menu runs all day Monday to Saturday from 12pm to 5.30pm, at £26 for two courses or £29 for three, with the likes of a coal-roast chicken, a steak Diane and a chocolate brûlée. Easy, generous, sunlit room.
02 · Dear Jackie
Soho
Crimson velvet Italian basement, set menu £30 / £35.
Tucked into the basement of Broadwick Soho, Dear Jackie is all crimson velvet, chandeliers and gilt frames. The set menu is £30 for two courses or £35 for three, served Monday to Saturday until 6.15pm and again after 10pm, built around fresh ricotta agnolotti, roast cod with Amalfi lemon and an amaretto tiramisu. The room alone is worth the booking.
03 · Mazi
Notting Hill
Modern Greek small plates on Hillgate Street, £24.95 / £29.95.
The long-running modern Greek small-plates spot on Hillgate Street that locals quietly love. The weekday set lunch is £24.95 for two courses or £29.95 for three, Monday to Friday, with crispy calamari, courgette cakes and a mandarin sorbet to finish. Tucked, neighbourhoody, very Notting Hill.
04 · Roast
Borough Market
Floral Hall glasshouse above the market, two courses £35 / three £39.
Up in the Floral Hall above Borough Market, Roast cooks British produce at the source. The Market Menu is £35 for two courses or £39 for three, Monday to Saturday from 11.45am to 10pm, with dishes that rotate with the stalls below. As Borough as it gets without doing the queueing yourself.
05 · Brasserie Max
Covent Garden
Firmdale's brasserie off Seven Dials, set with sparkling £35 / £40.
Inside the Covent Garden Hotel a step from Seven Dials, Brasserie Max is Firmdale's tucked-away weekday brasserie. The set menu is £35 for two courses or £40 for three (each with a glass of sparkling on the house), Monday to Friday from 12pm to 6pm and again from 9pm to 10.30pm. Summer minestrone, Devon White chicken schnitzel, ricotta cheesecake.

Pink-lit steakhouse inside ME London, pre-theatre from £21.
