Founded in December 2018 by former BBC MasterChef finalist Tony Rodd and freelance food writer and gluten-free baker Becky Cummings, Copper and Ink describes itself as a modern British restaurant with influences from classic French and Scandinavian cuisine. As well as a monthly changing à la carte menu, this Blackheath Village restaurant has a five course taster menu, with vegetarian and pescatarian options. It changes monthly also, which encourages diners to return regularly.

Each dish has a completely different style and is quite down to earth rather than ornate and pretentious. Although the fermented tomato salad, tomato consommé and lovage pesto I tried was a tad underwhelming, the tuna tartare and spicy Iberico presa, spare ribs, slaw and hasselback potatoes better presented the individuality of Tony’s dishes. Coupled with the two puddings, white chocolate sponge with lemon curd yoghurt and raspberry sorbet, and baked peach cheesecake, this taster menu did seem good value at £40.
