Went to peyton and bryne for breakfast. i had a very unhealthy breakfast consisting of a hot chocolate and a pink cup cake. The hot chocolate here is amazing i would def recommend you to try it!! also they have the best selection of cup cakes they are so cute and totally irresistible. my boyfriend had the salmon cheese pastry which was served hot with a salad for a bargain 3 pounds. Service was great they had samples at the counter to help you make your choice over all the fab cakes they offer. Would def come back without a doubt!]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:50:18 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1933b8z/peyton-and-byrne/1o4h78346645990 beckyfox 51.521126799073 -0.1348369654246 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1933b8z/peyton-and-byrne/114gq7

I used to work in the offices above The Heals Building and if ever there was a special occasion at work, boxes and boxes of these delightfully, sweet and sensational cupcakes were bought and passed round the office!!

I then went to peruse for myself only to find the dinkyest little old fashioned shop laden with sponge treats.

Yes, pricey but fantastic.

I even found the savory muffins more tempting at times. spinach and parmesan - to die for!

everything from experience, to presentation to first mouthwatering bite.

This place exerts nothing but excellence!!!!]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 00:15:48 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1933b8z/peyton-and-byrne/114gq71169175199 LOVEANDKATE 51.521126799073 -0.1348369654246 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1933b8z/peyton-and-byrne/1o43h7

Peyton & Byrne is a treasure trove of cupcakes and other sweet & savoury delights nestled between Heals & Habitat on Tottenham Court Rd, London. Owned by Oliver Peyton, a Mayo born London based restaurateur, it opened in September 2006 along with Meals in Heals next door. This is not Peyton's first venture, far from it, he started with nightclubs which he proclaimed a means to an end, dallied with the import/export of Japanese beer & absolut vodka and then moved into restaurants with the opening of the critically acclaimed Atlantic Bar & Grill in Picadilly. Since then he has opened Mash, Isola, the Admirality restaurant at Somerset House, Inn the Park at St James Park, The Wallace Restaurant, Peyton & Byrne, Meals, The National Dining Rooms & finally The National Café.

Peyton has always championed the use of quality ingredients and British cooking and this is obvious in his establishments. He is well known as one of the judges on the Great British Menu, a BBC show where top UK & Irish chefs compete to cook part of the banquet for the Queens 80th birthday in the first series and to the British Ambassador to France at the British Embassy in Paris for the second series.

At Peyton & Byrne, the intent is to reproduce old favourites the way our mothers used to make them, specifically Peytons mother whose maiden name was Byrne - hence, Peyton & Byrne. Her recipes are, in fact, the inspirations for the produce at the bakery.

Award winning chef Roger Pizey aims to put a modern twist on old classics and I think he does this quite well. These include savoury staples like tarts, pies, scotch eggs & fresh sandwiches (done well - lancashire cheese & picallili anyone?) and sweet treats like bakewell tart, victoria sponge, chocolate cake and amazing cupcakes, my personal favourite is the frou frou cupcake (raspberry & coconut), but there are 5 flavours in total to try and you should!

It's done so well, it's difficult to fault them. The design of the shop itself is lovely, fronted by a large window with gold lettering displaying their wares with the cakes on charming cake stands, it's all so pretty and inviting. The packaging is also fantastic, pretty pastel cake boxes with bold lettering. It shouldn't matter, but it does.

I've been a few times now, it's a must for the cupcakes alone, and it's been consistently good. It's on the pricey side, mind, at £10 for 5 cupcakes, but they're so good it's worth it.]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2007 18:03:20 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1933b8z/peyton-and-byrne/1o43h7995707829 Niamheen 51.521126799073 -0.1348369654246
