Unforgiving June has never been much for restaurant openings; the promise of a city empty owing to holidays, or one stifled by heat, means few are willing to gamble on a big opening.

Jackson Boxer, meanwhile, continues his run of new projects, as does Jeremy King, while the Four Legs boys have turned an old chippie up in Finsbury Park into the sort of place you might stumble across on the Spanish coast. Now there’s an idea — opening a holiday spot at home. July might yet see a few last-minute ideas appear yet.
