London restaurant Le Cercle
Le Cercle keeps a low profile, but the standard is consistently high and its ability to offer reasonably priced, streamlined and stylish food particularly at lunchtime is welcome. The people around Sloane Square may not be that strapped for cash, but those shopping around for bargains can always avoid cutting culinary corners by going to Le Cercle.
Black Cherry and Amaretto Gourmet Puddings
Cole’s Traditional Foods are launching a new pudding range that looks set to further consolidate their position as the UK’s leading supplier of gourmet puddings made with traditional and authentic British recipes.
L’Etranger london restaurant
L’Etranger, I imagined, had been a destination joint in the 1980s, still humming on a Monday night in the noughties. This, I dreamed as D and I were led to our seats, was where Duran Duran might have been taken on the cusp of a record deal, or where Docklands’ mandarins with flinty eyes seeded the City’s birth.
The Bread Factory
Up in The Bread Factory main office, where it’s warm cosy and smelling deliciously of, what else but, freshly baked bread, the staff are gently taking the mickey out of one of the accountants. ‘Every morning, first thing, he’s goes off to the baking floor for his fresh cakes and croissants!’’ they laugh. He smiles, acknowledging their banter, and then his eyes go all misty and unfocussed. ‘Look,’ his colleague says,’ he’s dreaming about those cakes again!’
Sam’s Brasserie London
Our visit to Sam’s Brasserie in Barley Mow Passage, Chiswick, which is situated just behind Chiswick High Road, had us wandering out of Turnham Green tube station, and along the High Road. It quickly struck us that the locals have a huge choice of places to eat, and that Sam’s must have its work cut out to stand out from the crowd.
Chelsea flower Show
The Royal Lancaster Hotel is celebrating this year’s Chelsea Flower Show with a decadent floral Afternoon Tea served in the hotel’s Lancaster Lounge. The tea will include a range of sandwiches, floral pastries and cakes and a selection of fine teas. Guests will also be treated to a complimentary glass of Perrier-Jouët Champagne in true Chelsea style.
Hail Fellow, well met!
A bit of Shakespeare for you there to announce a new Pub and Dining Room in the heart of the bustling regenerated Kings Cross area. This new modern pub and dining room says it is offering exceptional food alongside a quality selection of ales and wines, a retro cocktail lounge and intimate private dining room. The Fellow, named after the triumphant French racehorse that won a cluster of titles in the 1990’s, is situated a stones’ throw from St Pancras and the media hub of Kings Cross.
Nature’s Pleasure
Is it us or is there something rather naughty sounding about Nature’ s Pleasure? Yes it is just me I suppose because it is in fact a range of breakfast cereal from Kellogs. A range of baked muesli with honey and raw cane sugar. Add a touch of Simon Rimmer’s vegetarian magic and you have some fresh and tasty recipes
New range of Tea from Ridgways
Especially created for Queen Victoria in 1886, these teas are all very elegantly packaged and yet only £1.99 a pack, which means you can have something stylish on your shelf whilst still credit crunching your shopping!
