We are a family business group operating within a number of industries including construction, security, technology consultancy. In July 2019, we landed the opportunity to turn around the historical Fusilier public house. The property needed a lot of work to regenerate it and, coupled with our approach of doing things right first time, we invested a significant amount of resources to turn this place around.We wanted to give customers a restaurant that they can come dine in that offered quality food, as well as local watering hole. Given the close proximity of the restaurant to Wembley Stadium, we decided to name the restaurant the 'Arena Lounge'.Today, we are pleased to provide our customers a comfortable, stylish and cosy environment that they can sit back in, socalise and have a tasty Kenyan, Indo-Chinese infused meal in.Please join us at the Arena Lounge.

• Contemporary indian • Castelnau

Indian Zing restaurant in Hammersmith has won rave reviews its modern, light yet robustly-flavoured Indian food. Indeed, it’s one of Fay Maschler’s Top Five Indian restaurants. Formerly Deputy head chef at Chutney Mary and Head Chef at Veeraswamy, chef-proprietor Manoj Vasiakar has got the traditional / contemporary mix right on the money. Deciding what to have is agony – so make your mates promise to share, then start with Prawn and Aubergine Kharkhatla and move on to the delicately-spiced Fish Shirale (cooked in coconut milk and finished with onion and tomato masala) or the crackingly good Duck Chettinad. With spot-on service, elegantly relaxed surroundings and very reasonable prices, this Indian will make your heart Zing.

I visited Copper Chimney yesterday with my partner and had a lovely experience overall. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were incredible. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality of the food made it worth it. The only downside was that it was very hot inside the restaurant. There was no air conditioning, and they put one portable fan, which wasn’t enough to keep the place comfortable. A special thank you to our waitress, Pripti, who was so friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. Her excellent service made our experience even more enjoyable. Overall, despite the issue with the temperature, we had a great time and would happily come back for the amazing food, drinks, and wonderful service.
