For those that like their steaks, burgers and ribs American-style, head down to Bodean’s on Westbourne Grove. Some of you may know the chain from its original location in Soho, but those that have never been will enjoy what’s on offer at this “BBQ smoke house”. Well, unless you’re a vegetarian, that is. Try the pulled pork or baby back ribs – both highly recommended (by me!). And no, I’m not being paid to say any of this!

Time Out gave Bodean’s (its Soho branch) a good review in its 2009 Eating and Drinking guide: http://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/reviews/4737.html
