Shaken Cocktails – Become champion of the bar in your own home
Everything is available on subscription these days and I do mean everything. Coffee, razors, beer – life’s essentials.
All of these services offer a hassle free delivery of a commodity product and a hassle free extraction of cash from your bank account. It’s a ‘life hack’. An efficiency saving. One more thing to tick from the never-ending to-do list.

Turtle Bay does the sort of things that make a chain restaurant seem attractive. Bright colours, clean tables, friendly (and far too attentive) staff and well-priced dishes that will see £20 cover three courses. It’s the reason I’ll visit Pizza Express. Nothing attention grabbing, just inexpensive food, located in a city centre and usually well placed for a pre-cinema dinner.

EatFirst – Fresh meals in a flash
Takeaways aren’t renowned for their quality though and they’re usually limited to a couple of ‘traditional’ choices of Asian origin. Step forward EatFirst – a service that provides lunch delivered straight from a kitchen overseen by a top chef. That’s Jane Tran to be precise, a Canadian born chef with a CV from kitchens on both sides of the Atlantic.
The Joint – Marylebone
Reviews of their Brixton original restaurant have been uniformly of the AMAYZZZEEENG!! Kind, but this branch needs some work to get it right, until then you may well want to bogart this joint.
