OK, I’m not being mean, but why do so-called Londoners go to Pizza Express? This is a question we ask ourselves frequently. There are tonnes of greater (and cheaper) restaurants, it’s not 1998… Continue reading
Are you a girl? Do you like pink? How about cocktails? Or cupcakes? Or make-up? 99% of females are going to say yes to all of the above which is why Benefit Cosmetics… Continue reading
We never need an excuse to visit Shake Shack in Covent Garden. But when we found out The ShackMeister was making its UK debut we were there in a flash. The ShackMeister is… 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
London Beer Week 2015 (16-22 February) is a celebration of craft beers, ales, lagers and ciders alike, set against the backdrop of the capital. With pop-ups and parties, masterclasses and self-guided beer tours… Continue reading
When the email came round at the day job that the Walkie Talkie (or 20 Fenchurch Street to give it its proper name) was opening up its top three floors to the public, there was… Continue reading
We’d heard that HotBox, the latest BBQ restaurant to hit London, gets pretty loud (it certainly was on the launch night). So we rushed through any conversation on the way there, anticipating shouting over/at… Continue reading
What do get if you take a run-down East End pub and let Charlie McVeigh (of the Draft House group) work his magic? You get the Draft House Birdcage! The pub is by… Continue reading
Get not one, but TWO loops on the London Eye with a wintery Sipsmith cocktail in hand at the Winter Cocktail Experience as ‘Frostival’ returns to the London Eye this Christmas. Now THIS is… Continue reading
Now don’t get me wrong, I love Forest Gump. It’s one of my favourite films. In fact it’s one of those movies that even when flicking through the TV channels at 1.06am, you… Continue reading
I don’t think I’ve ever visited Herman ze German sober. The Villiers Street branch is in staggering distance of Charing Cross station and certainly beats a McDonald’s on the way home. Now they… Continue reading
There are a few fundamental things we look for in a restaurant: good customer service, pleasing decor, plus great cooking with a varied and reasonably priced menu. It’s staggering the amount of places… Continue reading
A Sunday roast is best eaten either at someone else’s house, a pub or a restaurant. For me, it’s far too much faff with too little reward when I cook one, plus the… Continue reading
Sometimes, but not often enough, we try something and think ‘why has this not been done before?’ like when we discovered the Potato Dog (a hotdog encased in fluffy potato) or most recently… Continue reading
For us, going to The Diner is like visiting a good friend. This seventh site in Spitalfields Market is subtlety different. It’s almost as if this good friend has had a year out,… Continue reading
This is the second time we’ve hopped (no beer pun intended) off the train at Greenwich to visit the Old Brewery for a beer pairing session. Our first visit was more of a… 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
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
Firstly I’d like to apologise to all concerned for my tardiness in writing this post. Christmas, illness and a very busy January has kept me away from my keyboard! The reason I’ve mentioned this… Continue reading
Last year, when Saff was invited along to review the newly refurbished Rib Room, I was gutted! Not only had the iconic Knightsbridge restaurant been given a makeover by designer Martin Brudnizki but… Continue reading
