We vistited when they first opened and absolutely loved the 70s inspired menu (that chicken kiev!). So when we heard whispers of a new menu celebrating British producers and seasonal ingredients we couldn't wait to get down there. In particluar, the all day dining spot is now serving up everybody's fave, the Sunday Roast. We stopped in last Sunday to check it out and the menu did not disappoint!

DIVINE PROPORTIONS: A delicious female-led sensory food, drink and theatrical experience

tagged in: , , , , ,

It instructs guests to ‘wine, dine and celebrate life’ and the steamy atmosphere of the place certainly enables this. I popped to a showing on a Friday night and everyone nervously waited in the bar area for the show to unfold. To ease the nerves, I delved into the fabulously themed cocktail list.

On walking into the venue, there is a cosy conservatory area at the front, and then you immedia...

Meet The Dreams - a young, talented trio - Effie, Lorrell and Deena - singing their way through the turbulent 1960s, a revolutionary time in American music history dominated by the civil rights movement, the assassination of US President John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King. A style era that gave us drainpipe jeans, capri pants and plaid down shorts; Beehives, Afros and The Pixie. Yes, we're talking big hair. And on stage, more than one million Swarovski crystals, adorning 275 costumes and three crystal curtains. Wall flowers, take care. This is amount of soulful dazzle and shine will vibrate...
