what the critics say
Friday, July 16, 2010 - The chef, New Zealander Miles Kirby, formerly headed the kitchen at the Providores and Tapa and knows his fusion fare. If there's a cheerful irreverence about mixing and matching cuisines, there's seriousness about flavor. When I visited, there was a good butternut squash, ginger and coconut soup, balancing sweetness with a hint of spice. The goat's curd, tomato, lentils and a sumac cracker is light and fresh enough for summer, without being bland. If you're going for bigger flavors, there's salt-and-Sichuan squid with chili mayonnaise...The weekend brunch is particularly popular.
Wednesday, March 24, 2010 - The hectic list of ingredients hints at the dreaded fusion but it generally acquits itself pretty well. There are simple things too, such as a perfectly ripe avocado, cubed, set on top of grain toast and dressed with olive oil, lemon and chilli flakes; doesn't get easier or much nicer. Granular cornbread, studded with sweetcorn kernels, comes with a pat of jalapeno butter that sinks into it to make a sticky, savoury cake. Falafel are light and fluffy, glamourised with a drizzle of tahini and some lovely apple and pepper jelly.

This place is magic. Service, food and ambience are all spot on. Best for dinner or weekend brunch. Can't wait to get back there.

I would have expected better service in a central London restaurant. The waiters and managers were both rude and not accommodating. The food was a sort of Middle Eastern fusion and a bit too complicated.
So if you fancy a bit of 90’s service this is the place to go. We are not going back there again!

Caravan (Exmouth Market)
Having read previous favourable reviews, I chose 'Caravan' for brunch with four friends at the weekend. It turned out to be a good choice.
Service from the attractive, young staff was friendly, informal but also attentive; the dining room is relaxed with, on the sunny day we visited, the doors and windows open - creating a pleasant airy room; finally, the food was delicious, well-presented and arrived quickly.
Overall, we couldn't fault anything. Everyone in the party agreed it was an excellent 'find' and is looking forward to returning soon.
Congratulations on establishing a great new venue on the London Brunch Scene.

After ducking into Caravan for the odd coffee when I can, I invited friends to brunch there two weekends ago - and general consensus was brilliant. Service was lovely- super friendly and open (only in the way antipodian's can be). May I also add how lovely staff are in general, attractive, well presented and knew the menu. So refreshing.
Love the pick and mix menu- great combinations and always feels good that you can create your own brunch/lunch or dinner feast, just as you like it.
Oh and the coffee was perfect (a rarety in london)
I have to say it is my number one place to reccomend to friends and work colleagues as a place to dine, and no one has complained about my suggestion yet.
Well done - I'll be back for more.

what the bloggers say
Gourmet Chick - 8/10
Friday, September 17, 2010 - Goats curd with butternut squash was a great pairing with the creamy curd cutting through the sweetness of the roasted squash. The peppered tuna was seared and then thinly sliced to reveal the delicate rosy pink flesh of the fish and the dish had a contemporary almost Japanese feel to it...The gypsy bun was the stuff of fast food dreams. Filled with spiced pork it was almost a riff on a dim sum style pork bun but with a honey glazed crispy bun. The knock-out dish though was the oxtail which had been slow cooked to the point it almost dissolved at the slightest touch and was served on top a pool of creamy polenta.

Wednesday, April 21, 2010 - Daughter thought this was the best breakfast she's had. Although labelled as a fry up, it's not strictly so - where are the goddamn sausages and beans? She was right though, her platter was very good. My two poached eggs on grain toast with a side order of an abattoir favourite. I'm a fussy grump but the otherwise perfectly poached eggs were served too cold. The smoked black pudding was an awe-full sight; quite the best thing I've had for a long time.

Sunday, February 21, 2010 - You see, new restaurants can get it right...The prices reflect the use of superb ingredients and the hiring of a top-notch chef. The fry up comprised a thick slice of sourdough toast topped with meaty mushrooms, slow roasted tomatoes, thin and deliciously crisp bacon and two perfectly fried eggs, which despite being flipped as requested, still retained a soft runny centre. Perfect short order cooking and only the inexplicable absence of a good sausage on the menu stops me from calling this one of the best breakfasts I have eaten in donkeys years.
