Opera at Courtyard 51

The Covent Garden Strings are that rare thing nowadays, a musical comedy act and collective. Tonight Sid Bowfin, who is clearly channelling the spirit of Bill Hall the legendary comedy violinist, leads a crack team of four in a performance that mixes excellent fiddle playing with clever crowd control through smart ad libs and polished comedy routines.

Summer at The Old Brewery Greenwich

The Old Brewery is the perfect place to head when the sun starts beating down this summer. Enjoy a specially created summer menu along with beers that have been individually matched to each dish or go casual, picking up something from the take-away menu to enjoy in the park.

Terminal 5 food. Plane and simple?

Plane Food as a restaurant name is obviously tempting fate. You can imagine the worried discussions around the table when the idea was first mooted – what if the food’s boring? What if it fails to ‘take off’? What if it crashes? No doubt Gordon overruled them all, bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet, chopping one hand into another and saying ‘yeah?’ at the end of every sentence. It’s just part of T5’s first-class food offering for travellers.
