As if setting off culinary fireworks at Fargeot (and scooping Le Fooding’s Biggest Crush 2026 along the way) weren’t enough, the ever-charming Elsa Marie and Julian May have now fired up the flames at Donna – just a hop, skip and a choo-choo away from train station. Inside this pocket-sized, counter-dining joint dotted with wooden stools, it’s all about the poetry of pizza: blistered, crusty-edged rounds of naturally leavened sourdough made with organic flour from Navarre, parading past and topped to the seasons with whatever’s winking at them from the local market. Take, for example, the one with a tomato sauce base swaggering beneath spicy sobrasada, roasted onions and smoked provola, or a bianca layered with mozzarella and scamorza, tangled with mushrooms, kale and garlic. The antipasti game is strong – Cantabrian anchovies, a plate of coppa – while the featherlight tiramisu with a homemade biscuit base seals the deal. A flame-licking spin-off that lands bang on cue! · Saga West
