After a six-month stint in Australia, The Fat Duck has re-opened and now employs a ticketed reservation system. “The Itinerary” costs £255 per person, excluding a discretionary 12.5% service charge and drinks and other items that are priced separately. Instead of dish descriptions, the menu presents nostalgic musings such as “Mid-Morning: First one to see the sea... The original Sound of the Sea. Can I have some money for the ice cream van? Then we went rockpooling. The Fat Duck, High Street, Bray, Berkshire SL6 2AQ, 016-2858 0333.

With Som Saa packing up shop at Climpson's Arch to pursue its permanent site (due to open early 2016), a new residency has been announced for this hot Hackney spot in the form of Portuguese chef, Leandro Carreira. Carreira comes via the kitchens of Viajante, Mugaritz, and most recently, Lyle’s. Having been chosen from a list of more than 20 applicants, he started his residency on October 30, taking a simple approach, serving a typically Portuguese menu for sharing. Carreira showcases a mostly Portuguese wine list and collaborating with a local baker to provide breads and pastries typical to his home country. Climpson's Arch, 374 Helmsley Pl., London, UK E8 3SB, no phone.
