PP, Hix is over-rated and not good vlaue. Scotts is absolutely a great shout (if you can get a table for Friday - lunch time?) and you have cocktails before hand at Mayfair hotel. St John is average and constitutes a "working lunch" place at best.

Theo Randal is also very nice - Hit and miss in terms of whether ambiance is going to be the best as not always busy and it is a big restaurant.

Nazomi - Knightsbridge is great on a friday - Get a table for 09:30/10:00 as all night option as well as bar packed before and after, great area for later as well

Ledbury?

Dabbous - Amazing! Different gear and well worth it. The mash is amazing in the set menu (roast chicken and all the trimmings flavour, yet only mash potato)

Langans - Not the best food, however if you want back to the old days all after noon session and busy, its always a shout. Again it is will be difficult to book for a Friday.
