exploring london and finding out what
people are up to and how they've
responded
to lockdown revisiting some of old
favorites and generally just packing in
as much as you possibly can
into one day in true top drawer style

the new
zion crane 2 s for the very first time
so looking forward to getting grips with
that we've got segal with us oh hey sega
oh god you let's say guys it's fine and
get on with it yeah let's crack on with
today
we're will's neck of the woods will
absolutely raise about volcano
richie mentions it at least once a week
during lockdown it started with a hatch
in the wall
serving coffees out on a tray now a
little bit more opened up
still not their full operation but will
and i want to kick this day off
with a coffee made from beans roasted on
site
it is an honor to drink coffee as good
as that
right well next up larry's for some
breakfast
[Music]
we're in peckham for breakfast at
larry's larry just started
in the window
we're in peckham for breakfast at
larry's the guys behind this
started salon and levan which is right
next door and if you haven't heard of
those
you really check them out the two of our
favorite restaurants food here is very
new york deli throwback there's no
particular region of cuisine
just a melting pot of all sorts of
things so you've got
italian stuff on the menu but it's
french lovely sweet
nice bit of fennel coming through
[Music]
giving these guys track record it's
definitely worth checking this place out
for their evening meals
but for breakfast or brunch it's a
fantastic alternative
to the classic it's benedict great guys
doing great food next up one of the
premier bakeries in london town
saint john's
we're now in birmingham just south of
london bridge on this little road here
called druid street
lots of business in the arches but saint
john's is one of the only ones that
actually sells products out the door
incredible bakery founded by the famous
chef
fergus henderson big philosopher knows
to tell cooking
they're huge on their meats their baked
goods and their wines
but we're here for some sweet little
pastries
a vanilla donut an almond croissant
please three pastries
for the lads
[Music]
if you're in this area or even if you're
not great little mid-afternoon
donut from saint john's should
definitely be on your list
it's time for a beer good day
[Applause]
[Music]
little camera where is it
[ __ ] a little take oh you got a camera
[ __ ] you know
[Music]
we've traveled up a little bit to the
heart of shoreditch now we can't travel
this summer
so we're going to portugal by way of
casa de franco
casa de franco set up by two guys so the
first one launched just south of the
river near london bridge
and then this one launched earlier this
year so kind of three months before
lockdown
they got straight on the deliveries like
two days after lockdown
bang on the delivery hype sending out
portuguese grub to the masses
also banging out those free nhs meals
straight out the gate
nice crispy sort of char grilled skin on
it a period of flavors
i'm all about that boy didn't we
[ __ ] oh no oh no
the worst oh what's he got there mate
three pails for the males okay so we
left casa de franco
on our way to call jobs yard but we
thought you know what sun's out
it's probably time for a little pale
it's pub
old king's head in the heart of
shorelines you've been here since 1792
and it was first called king's head in
1811 so my question is
at what point did he become old like
when
he's chilling it's done
we're here at cold drops yard this is in
kings cross in sort of north
central london it is victorian
industrial conversion at its finest
will it's sunny i quite want a beer on a
terrace
and maybe some spanish tapas you're
feeling me hell yeah
we are in parian this is the sister
restaurant of baratheon
which we featured in our 48 hours in
london film
we love it spanish tapas diner
beautifully
and it smells divine this here is a
banderilla
never heard of it before but it's a
quail's egg ruxin anchovy
this is their heritage tomato salad with
cooked chew on top
this is the escala veda escala vida
escala vida roasted peppers escalada
this is escalada roasted veg with crisp
breads and aioli
it doesn't sound that much but attitude
bangs in your mouth
and they're all famous ham croquettes
you could not come
to barathena or perylene and not have
ham croquettes oh look at that
this veg has been obviously smoked on
their grill so you get that sort of
smoky
almost like baba ganoush flavour with a
creamy aioli
that is awesome that was the
wonderful korean good all year round but
especially good when
sun's got his hat on like today
they've been busier and had more sales
through lockdown than when they were a
restaurant earlier
might be because they've been open 10
months it might also be because
it's summer now however
cheers mate cheers man he was just he's
what he's doing didn't he
right there there are sandwiches we all
eat him we all know him
but then there are sandwiches sandwiches
that make you
stop and think about what a sandwich
can really be
sons and daughters doing very familiar
sounding sandwiches right
however these are in a league of their
own they're taking sandwiches
to the next level egg mayo sandwich
truffle crisps
miso mayo cress chicken sandwich
roasted chicken soy cured parmesan gem
lettuce
pickled cucumber little toasted white
luma
jesus we got strawberry mojito use the
collards ladies and gents
oh yeah yeah you can change that soy
cube palm down

license but obviously during these
lockdown times
it is just an off license one of the
most beautiful
array of canned beverages you will ever
see especially in london

cheltenham

best parallels
available right here right now and then

[Music]
hey we're top jaw we make food and
travel films around the world
i'm jesse and i'm in front of camera and
i'm will i'm the filmmaker behind the
camera and today we're using
the brand new zion crane 2s
decent beer kit
so this is one of our normal setups for
a top drawer shoot we've got black magic
pocket 4k and the sigma art
1835 lens the new zion has absolutely no
issues with the payload works amazingly
like straight off the bat and then
you're away
[Music]
super tidy feature is that you can have
the new axis lock
so once it's locked it's nice and safe
to work with doesn't bash about so with
the led display you can change all your
settings when you're actually out on set
i've got a super slow tilt axis to get
really cinematic shots
first day out with the crane 2s and it's
been absolutely banging can't wait to
use it on more top door sets thanks for
watching
head to topjaw.codk for more of our
films
