Living in South London, whenever something new opens I'm usually one of the first to be excited about it. So with the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station meaning that many new restaurants are opening, I was more than a little excited to see it! When I heard that Vivek Singh had opened a new Cinnamon Kitchen Battersea, Andy and I were really looking forward to visiting. ... read more
Birthday Celebrations at Sorella Clapham
Waking up on my birthday looked a little something like this... Champagne for breakfast, pastries from the local patisserie and a newspaper in bed. Happy birthday to me! Every year I vary as to whether I want to do something big or just a small celebration for my birthday, and this year I opted for a small lunch with friends. Unusually, I was a little late in organising...anything... But I knew exactly where I wanted to go, Sorella, the latest restaurant from Robin Gill, who also owns The Dairy. ... read more
A Weekend of Eternal Sundays at The Pig on The Beach
That Sunday feeling: the feeling of being totally relaxed, having nowhere to go and nothing pressing that needs done. That sense of calm. I thought it was a feeling reserved purely for Sundays, but it turns out, that you also find the same feeling at The Pig Hotel (part of Mr & Mrs Smith Hotels), specifically at The Pig on the Beach, as I discovered when Angie and I visited for a weekend last month. ... read more
Fish Kitchen Comes to Outlaw’s At The Capital
Tucked away in Knightsbridge, a short shopping-laden wander away from Harrods, live The Capital Hotel, a member of Small Luxury Hotels. The Capital Hotel, as well as being a boutique hotel, is also home to Outlaw's at The Capital, a Michelin star restaurant serving impeccably cooked British seafood. But Outlaw's at the Capital isn't the only jewel in Nathan's crown: with a two Michelin Star restaurant, Restaurant Nathan Outlaw, and one Michelin-starred Fish Kitchen both in Cornwall, it's little wonder that I jumped at the chance to visit Fish Kitchen - and to meet Nathan himself - a couple of weeks ago as Fish Kitchen traveled from Cornwall to London for the night. ... read more
Lunch at Le Chef et Moi, Bruges
The best part of our short weekend in Bruges was discovering lovely little places: restaurants with simple but delicious food, the most beautiful Hotel de Tuilerieen and chocolate box little streets... Oh, and chocolate... One of the restaurants we stumbled into was Le Chef et Moi, a restaurant serving simple, perfectly prepared cuisine in a perfect location. ... read more
Mothers’ Day with The White Company
I'm not sure about you, but I absolutely love gift giving. Thinking about what to buy, shopping to pick something really special, personal and often beautiful, wrapping it up and then giving it. There's something so nice about being able to celebrate friends and family no matter what the occasion - and Mother's Day is no exception! ... read more
An Enchanting Stay at Hotel De Tuilerieen Bruges
As someone who usually meticulously plans every holiday, weekend away and long-haul adventure, I'm not normally one for last minute trips! But before Christmas, Andy and I booked a day off in the first week of January (because I wasn't sure I would be able to handle a four day week...) and a couple of weeks ago we packed our bags and headed to Hotel de Tuilerieen for the weekend! ... read more
Christmas at The Dorchester and Festive Wreath Making
After our stay at The Dorchester last summer, I've completely fallen for The Dorchester hotel in London. The afternoon tea, our amazing suite, the gorgeous spa and restaurants and all topped off with the most wonderful service... You can see just why! And with it all lit up and decorated, I couldn't wait to go back for a little Christmas at The Dorchester! ... read more
Italian in the Sky at Il Tetto
Many years ago, in a school in Glasgow, Scotland, two girls became friends... Despite going to univeristy in different cities, in different places in the UK, they still ended up talking most days (okay, pretty much every day) and when they both ended up living in London and working in the city, they still spoke most days and met up for wonderful long lunches at the weekend. One of those lunches was at Il Tetto Selfridges, a delightful Italian restaurant with a view. ... read more
London’s Cutest Winter Pop Up: The Winter Terrace at The Churchill
There's something a little bit special about winter; about getting all dressed up and cosy and braving the snow (she says hopefully) for a little Christmas shopping. In London, it also means a selection of cute and cosy pop ups, including the very special special Winter Terrace at The Churchill! ... read more
