The Royal Garden Hotel will remain forever young this summer thanks to being the official hotel partner for the inaugural performance of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. Until 30th August the hotel will play host to a series of Peter Pan inspired tributes, including themed cocktails, through to pre and post theatre menus inclusive of tickets to the show, all of which will guarantee that you too take a trip to Neverland.
The Old Crown restaurant
The Old Crown in New Oxford Street is one of the older buildings. It probably wasn’t designed to be a pub, perhaps originally a shop, and it is in estate-agent parlance ‘bijou’. That means small. In the summer, though it has floor to ceiling windows that open wide, a corner location and tables outside that look like they were made from old railway sleepers or similar. Chunky chic.

The Hampshire Fare runs the whole month of July with over 200 food, drink and craft businesses involved, from pig farmers and wine makers to farm shops and hotels.

Another top recipe from our friends at Filippo Berio
Lesely Waters Devon Cream tea
Another great British gastro gift to the world here adapted slightly but still finger licking, chin totally covered in cream and jam good!
