Josper Grilling @ Caxton Grill, St Ermin's Hotel, St James's

Caxton Grill is one of very few restaurants in London to feature a Josper Grill (the second ever in town according to the folks there), thus providing all sorts of omnivorous excuses to pay an empty stomach visit to this restaurant located within the four star St Ermin’s Hotel .

Of Spanish origin and all the rage with a number of US chefs at the moment, the Josper is a charcoal based “ closed barbeque operated by a system of adjustable draughts ” that cooks super fast at incredibly hot temperatures and (as the argument goes) more thoroughly than any other option as the heat is distributed evenly from above, below, left and right of whatever’s been placed on the grill. And at £17,000 per grill, it’s an expensive piece of kit.
