In October 1976, the London restaurant world was turned upside down when Michael Caine, celebrated chef Richard Shepherd and Irish entrepreneur Peter Langan opened Langan's, a celebrity hangout that would revolutionise the capital's dining scene. This soon became the most celebrated restaurant in the city, and helped turn London into an internationally recognised culinary hot spot. Inheriting its status from Mr. Chow and St. Lorenzo, Langan's was soon joined by Joe Allen, Le Caprice and L'Escargot, making London the most vibrant restaurant capital of the age.

London never looked back. In the five decades since, the city has become the global culinary petri dish, a multi-cultural hotbed of super chefs and gastronomic ingenuity, of monstrous egos and appalling kitchen behaviour, bad reviews and scabrous critics (AA Gill, Giles Coren and Michael Winner), dictatorial maître ds, inter-restaurant feuding (Jeremy King v Richard Caring, Jamie Oliver v Marci Pierre White, Gordon Ramsey v Gino D'Acampo, Marcus Wareing and Mario Batali), ridiculous trends (everything from nouvelle cuisine and kimchi to tasting menus and wine pairings), scandals (Gordon Ramsey, Boris Becker, Jamie Oliver), difficult customers ("What do you mean I can't have Table 3?"), financial shenanigans, global media attention and more.

Written with Dylan Jones's trademark glamour and wit, Table Hopping reveals all you need to know about the fine dining world of one of the greatest cities in the world.©2026 Dylan Jones (P)2026 Little, Brown Book Group Limited
