Buried in the north London ’burbs, a trip to Bang Bang involves remaining on the “misery line” until two stops from the end: Colindale. The commune there is famous for a particular type of cheese known as fossa, meaning “pit” – pecorino sheep’s cheese placed in… well… pits in the ground on one particular day each year to mature. Add to that the location of the restaurant – La Locanda dell’Ambra – which overlooks the green farms and small villages of Emilia-Romagna and is based inside a medieval stone building; plus a table full of friends, local red wine and a €30 nine-course tasting menu and you’re pretty close to the perfect meal.
