Cook your own dinner London's first specialist Chinese Hotpot Restaurant

It's OK, you don't have to do your own washing-up

Where: Shuang Shuang – Shaftesbury Avenue

While we’re usually keen to follow Jay Rayner’s advice on the majority of things foodie, when it comes to Shuang Shuang, we’re going to have to close our ears. You hear that Jay? We’re not listening to you… (this time).

Shuang Shuang brings London its first specialist Chinese hotpot restaurant, which is exciting for so many reasons: here’s just one. Fans of the Salt ‘n’ Shake crisps already know how much fun it is to make your own dinner and Shuang Shuang is simply another version of that. Select your veg and meat and choose your hotpot’s base broth before dipping the fine sliced strips of goodness in and waiting for them to cook. Is it a gimmick? No, it’s awesome.
