Song Bird was fantastic last night. We started with the lobster/scallop spring rolls, prawn wontons in black vinegar with chilli and then the must have duck. All of them were 10/10 as were the crab omelette and steak. The drinks were all spot on as was the great service. A couple of my guests hadn't been there before but will be regulars now. See you soon.

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve been to soupzen, but honestly every time has been good. My favourite is actually Angus Karubi and not the Wagyu varieties. The only thing I miss is the Vita Lemon Tea box, please bring it back?
