Battersea and Nine Elms Favorites

In her home neighborhood of Battersea, Haugh recommends Caravela at 145-149 Battersea High Street (SW11 3JS). This independent Portuguese restaurant run by a husband-and-wife team serves traditional cod cakes, an octopus dish, blood pudding, and a Sunday roast featuring multiple meats.

Also located nearby at Arch 65, Queen's Circus, Nine Elms (SW8 4NE) is Archway. Run by chef Alex Owens, who previously worked at the River Café, the romantic candlelit venue is known for its veal ragu pasta, flatbreads, and simple sharing plates.

Clapham and Soho Recommendations

Just off Northcote Road at 97 St John's Road, Clapham (SW11 1QY), wine bar Ploussard offers small plates such as scallops, oysters, taramasalata, sweetbreads, and a signature dish of girolle mushrooms with egg yolk.

For ingredient-focused cooking in Soho, Haugh highlights Mountain at 16-18 Beak Street (W1F 9RD). The restaurant serves items like mutton chops and Spanish sausage.
