The one to order off the fire

The clay pot baked glass noodles with pork belly and brown crab, then a grilled skewer or two

Where to sit: No bookings at the ground-floor counter, which faces the grills: go before 6pm or after 9:30pm for a stool. Groups can book downstairs.

What it burns: Wood and charcoal: a kiln oven, grills and clay pots on the coals

Ben Chapman's Thai and Burmese-leaning counter cooks almost everything on wood and charcoal in front of you; it was named the best restaurant in Britain within two years of opening.

Clay pot glass noodles with pork belly and crab

40 min · 2 people. Kiln's best-known dish: glass noodles steamed in a clay pot over the coals, soaking up the pork fat and soy as they cook, with crab folded in. A clay pot or a small Dutch oven on the stove gets very close.
