Fay Maschler's week in food, from The Wells Tavern to Mortimer House Kitchen

Dinner special of aged rump steak with green peppercorn sauce, watercress and chips for £15.75 at The Wells Tavern in Hampstead. I love my sister Beth’s pub and don’t visit enough.

A quarter-century of the Smithfield restaurant St. John was celebrated as only Fergus and Trevor know how, which means heaps of suckling pig sandwiches.

After A Day in the Death of Joe Egg at Trafalgar Studios, perfect post-theatre food at Kerridge’s Bar & Grill, for example, chicken liver parfait with fig and cherry chutney and almond jelly.

I am a “guardian” to Emily Turner Friedman, whose first birthday lunch at Mortimer House Kitchen was completed by a profound ginger cake from Claire Ptak.

Following the repetitive Hustlers at Everyman King’s Cross, a Negroni at Vermuteria, Coal Drops Yard.
