Last week was National Afternoon Tea Week (14-20 August). As always we are willing to jump on a trend and join in the fun and where better a place to have fun than… Continue reading
Since mid-December I’ve been waiting. Every Monday to Friday I was teased by the huge ‘opening soon’ signs on the façade of the new Novotel in Canary Wharf, well Marsh Wall to be… Continue reading
Fancy something sweet and a little light-hearted this V Day? The infamous googly-eyed teacakes served at Hoi Polloi‘s afternoon tea have had a bit of a Valentine’s Day makeover. They’re said to be great… Continue reading
It never really occurred to us that high-end restaurants do set menu deals for certain websites. Yes, we get bombarded with offers in our inbox but to be honest, we don’t usually have… Continue reading
Just when we thought we couldn’t love The Shard any more than we do already, aqua shard has been temporarily transformed into an English country garden to celebrate the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.… Continue reading
I’m going to start with the opening sentence from the menu. ‘Inspired by the Café Royal Cocktail Book compiled in 1937, the Green Bar at Hotel Café Royal is a vibrant cocktail destination’.… Continue reading
I commute to London every day, Monday to Friday and have done so for nearly two decades. But there’s still so much of this great city that Saff and I haven’t experienced. Yes,… Continue reading
By some weird coincidence we revisited the revamped Cucina Asellina at the plush celeb haunt ME London hotel exactly two years after the first visit. Although when I say we, I mean my… Continue reading
Boutique hotelier Urban Villa opened their first UK hotel in Brentford last month (that’s Brentford, not to be confused with TOWIE territory Brentwood in Essex). Think serviced apartments/aparthotel but with more attention to… Continue reading
Staying the night in the Shangri-la at the Shard – the UK’s first elevated hotel was only ever going to be incredible. The Shard is one of our favourite buildings, despite my doubts… Continue reading
If you’re not a) A woman or b) Planning a hen night you probably stopped reading this at the headline. The Mad Hatter’s afternoon tea at the Sanderson is largely full of groups… Continue reading
Nestled up high in the rather faded and archaic looking Royal Garden hotel is Min Jiang. A proper old-fashioned yet luxurious Chinese restaurant that boasts stunning views over Hyde Park. Layers of lush greenery… Continue reading
We must have walked past The Andaz Hotel hundreds of times and we didn’t know it was there. Even when we were looking for it the task wasn’t any easier. We passed it… Continue reading
At least once a week I see a tweet asking for recommendations of where to go for a family meal. There are usually fussy parents involved, who’ve travelled down from a far away… Continue reading
If we told you the invite said something along the lines of ‘come to a hotel restaurant, stand at the pass and listen to a bloke talk about pickles’, then you’d probably think… Continue reading
I am officially now an afternoon tea convert. Past experiences haven’t been that spectacular or impressive, I didn’t really get the whole fuss, until now. My little sister chose to have afternoon tea… Continue reading
It’s funny how certain spaces give off certain vibes. As we entered the lobby via some revolving doors I was none the wiser. Even when I noticed one restaurant to our left and… Continue reading
Rooftop bars are the place to be this summer, now that we’re actually having one that is. With the sun beating down and a craving for that holiday feeling, I headed to Rum… Continue reading
January has come to an end, the ‘pay back’ month is over. New year resolutions of healthy living/eating have been washed away by torrential rain. So we thought we’d cheer ourselves up with… Continue reading
On paper STK was everything we dislike in a restaurant. Starting with the name. There must be a few dodgy keyboards out there in the restaurant world at the moment that are missing their… Continue reading
