The Bira Moretti Gran Tour

Italian food just got even more exciting as the Birra Moretti Gran Tour returns for a second summer of great food, beer and company. Kicking off at the Summerhall in Edinburgh on the 9th July, the tour will then move to London and end in Leeds in August.

Jar Kitchen

Chef Dominik Moldenhauer has earned his stripes through stints at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal and also at The Greenhouse in Perth, Western Australia. The killer combo of a rigorous Blumenthalian attention to detail and an Aussie lightness of touch was evident in many of the dishes we tried.

Jones Family Project, Summer Picnic

Jones Family Project are hosting a picnic in their ever excellent upstairs bar, complete with fake grass rolled across the floor. Fortunately, you get to sit on proper chairs, not cross-legged on rugs waiting for your legs to go dead at the knees (how old am I?). To this, they bring a hamper, filled to the brim with small boxed goodie and a few bottles of elderflower infused gin and perry mix.
