Now, here are two things that are nice to hear when you’re sitting down for lunch: “We can open any wine you like from the bottle shop”, and “a kumquat frangipane tart has just come out of the oven.” P&V’s wildflower-lined courtyard is a feel-good hit on a warm afternoon, whether you’re keen to simply sit on a glass of something chilled and red, or lock in for a longer session with the menu, still evolving (as we go to print) under new chef Leila Khazma. Snacks and share plates could include fresh anchovy and broad bean pilaf; sea bream crudo on a bed of green harissa; lamb neck salad; mussels and spigarello on toast; and spiced Persian red lentils cooked in burnt-onion broth.
