With its buzz, bonhomie and fairly priced food, Rebecca Mascarenhas and Craig Gordon's hugely popular all-day diner is ‘the epitome of a good local restaurant’ run by a ‘truly great bunch of people’ who go out of their way to meet and greet everyone who comes through the door. As for the decor, chesterfield banquettes, bentwood chairs, a long bar, covered terrace and a conservatory to the rear all help to create a fresh, modern look. What dazzles is the simple, well-prepared comfort food with its penchant for flavour – seen in classic nibbles such as cauliflower cheese croquettes or miso- and sesame-glazed Padrón peppers. The full menu covers a lot of popular ground, from gazpacho and tuna tataki with alphonso mango and chilli salsa to almond tart or strawberries with clotted cream. In between, expect the likes of glazed slow-cooked pork cheeks with grilled hispi cabbage and XO butter sauce, shrimp burgers with sriracha mayo or fillet of Cornish se...

In between, expect the likes of glazed slow-cooked pork cheeks with grilled hispi cabbage and XO butter sauce, shrimp burgers with sriracha mayo or fillet of Cornish sea bream with butter bean ragù, datterini tomatoes and basil. There are also mighty dry-aged prime ribs of Scottish beef to share.

Home’s all-inclusive neighbourly offer extends to brunch, Sunday roasts with duck-fat roasties and a penny-saving ‘scrap and scarper’ set deal (Mon-Fri lunch and early evening) with dishes created using leftovers from the previous day. The well-considered list of predominantly European wines is arranged by style, with a focus on mid-priced options; otherwise, check out the list of creative cocktails. 'The name says it all – this place really is Home,' concluded one regular.
