  • TWG Tea, Leicester Square, London

    Afternoon tea in that centre of the London tourist scene - Leicester Square. TWG Tea is a mix of glass, marble, golden metals and wood giving a feeling of opulence and heritage as you head upstairs to the restaurant - but is it real or an illusion?

  • God's Own Junkyard, Walthamstow, London

    The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the sweet chorus of the A406 played in the background. God's Own Junkyard in Walthamstow seemed the perfect spot for afternoon tea.

  • Rules, Covent Garden, London

    We celebrate our second anniversary at Rules, who celbrated their 220th in 2018. It's an amazing experience to dine in the restaurant that hosted HG Wells, Charles Dickens and Clark Gable.

  • Blixen, Spitalfields, London

    Open the doors to Blixen, an independent situated in a former bank and surrounded by the standard chain restaurants, and you will be surprised by the space here. Not to mention delighted by the treats on the menu.

  • Balans Soho Society, Westfield Stratford

    Balans do a great line in brunch options as well as a set menu and an all-day menu. Lots of choices, too many in fact as we were left rather confused...

  • IG9 Brunch & Cafe, Buckhurst Hill
    IG9 Brunch & Cafe has recently had a bit of facelift, and very fresh and invigorated it's looking too. It now has a book exchange and comfy seats by the window. The layout is comfortable and not over-crowded, always a temptation when space is at a premium. And importantly, the welcome is warm and friendly.

  • Green Owl Canteen, Loughton
    Sunday = Brunchday in our house and when we heard that one of our favourite cafes had opened a sister eatery, Green Owl Canteen in nearby Loughton, the temptation to try it out was too much to resist.

  • Sarastro, Covent Garden
    If you've walked up Drury Lane chances are you'll have noticed a corner with lush and extravagant greenery, where the building has extended tentacles of foliage right across the pavement. Venture inside and you'll find Sarastro, where Arabian Nights meets shabby chic, the perfect setting for some great Turkish food.

  • Cortijo del Cura, Freila, Spain
    On our wanderings in the wild west countryside of Almeria, we were lucky to find this gem of a restaurant, Cortijo del Cura, on the shores of Lake Negratin. A perfect spot to swim, relax and enjoy the stunning scenery; a real find.
