There is a reason The Independent is frequented by celebrity chefs. The food is off the charts good. It's got the best vegan offering anywhere in the hills (in fact it has its own vegan menu) and it's always packed, so booking is essential. Honestly in the top 5 meals of our lives. (And we once ate at Per Se).
