## Drink Like A Pirate 

### Rhum Tavern 

  

 

Gin and tequila have had their moments. Now it’s rum’s turn. Rhum Tavern, a theatrical new hotspot in the West End, is the brainchild of Gabriel de-Vere – whose pedigree includes Sketch, Lounge Lover and Mr Fogg’s. His first solo venture is a deep dive into the golden age of piracy, featuring a gold-cast pirate coin bar and custom glassware. The drinks menu boasts London’s largest rum collection, alongside select spirits, surprises and a well-crafted non-alcoholic offering. To soak it up? Small plates including grilled salt beef, baby back ribs and corn ribs. The venue is also home to a rum bottle shop if your supplies are running low.

## Hit Your Sweet Spot 

### Pastaio X Ana Da Costa 

  

 

Carnaby’s lively pasta spot Pastaio has called on with supper club host Ana Da Costa for the latest instalment in its tiramisu series. Inspired by Ana’s famous Pandan Crack Pie, this twist on the classic features coffee-soaked savoiardi, pandan mascarpone cream and a dusting of pink raspberry powder. For every tiramisu sold, £1 goes to World Central Kitchen.

*Pastaio, 19 Ganton Street, Carnaby, W1F 9BN; until 28th February*

## Tee Off 

### Pitch Wharf 

  

 

Fusing golf, dining and entertainment, Pitch is due to arrive in Canary Wharf this month with a promise to redefine the traditional clubhouse experience. Whether you want to perfect your swing in one of its 11 state-of-the-art Trackman bays, unwind with a drink at its two bars, or grab a bite at 18 Greens restaurant, Pitch delivers on all fronts. Its Trendy Golf concept store can kit you out in the latest gear, while a riverside terrace, shuffleboards and live music set the tone for a vibrant social scene. Until it opens, there are always its sister spots in Soho and the City.

## Eat Well 

### La Môme Berkeley 

  

 

La Môme, the Cannes hotspot from Ugo and Antoine Lecorché, has landed in London at The Berkeley, bringing some of the glamour of the French Riviera to Knightsbridge. Samy Chams's peach-hued interiors (in the former home of Marcus Wareing’s Michelin-starred Marcus) set the scene for a Mediterranean menu packed with tableside theatrics. Truffle lovers should dive into the rossini fillet steak draped in Périgourdine sauce, foie gras and black truffle shavings. Alternatively, opt for the grilled seabass, bathed in a white wine vinegar marinade with tomatoes and pine nuts. There are 170 seats inside, 30 on the terrace, and a ten-seater bar shaking up cocktails.

## Get Out Of Town 

### Updown Farmhouse 

  

 

If London’s grey skies and winter chill have you craving a countryside escape, Updown Farmhouse near Deal in Kent has just the thing. This spring, Ruth Leigh and Oli Brown’s hotel and restaurant is putting on another guest chef series, featuring some of the UK’s most exciting culinary talents. Kicking things off on 28th February, Shuko Oda of Koya will bring her signature fusion of authentic Japanese techniques and seasonal British ingredients. Her one-off menu promises bold yet delicate flavours. On 15th March, Jeremy Lee of Quo Vadis will take over the kitchen with his unmistakable British cooking. Expect a menu of comforting classics, with each dish shining a spotlight on the best produce Kent has to offer. Dom Fernando of Paradise Soho will bring fiery Sri Lankan flavours to Updown on 26th April, while Rose Chalalai Singh of KOYN Thai will round off the series on 10th May with a menu inspired by her Bangkok childhood.

## Watch The Rugby 

### The Loft 

  

 

This Saturday, Wales face off against Ireland, then England and Scotland enter the fray in one of the biggest rugby clashes of the year. Naturally, you’ll be looking for somewhere you and your mates can cheer – or commiserate – in good company. For a rowdy, high-energy atmosphere, The Loft at Old Spitalfields Market is the place to be. The East London hotspot screens every match live on its mezzanine-level big screen – no matter the weather. Whichever team you’re backing in the Six Nations, count on a top-tier viewing experience and an electric atmosphere to match.

## Fill Your Boots 

### Senza Fondo 

  

 

Senza Fondo lands in Shoreditch this Thursday offering bottomless lasagna (£20 per person) and more. Owner Joe Worthington and chef Michael Bagnall helm the kitchen, dishing out one of East London’s most indulgent menus in a sleek space. Start with family-style mortadella with pistachio before diving into Italian-American fettuccine alfredo, lasagna-style pizzette, and specials like aubergine parmigiana and grilled wing rib on the bone with beef jus and apple mostarda. Off-menu bites, including burnt lasagna ends, are available on request. Finish strong with tiramisu, wood-fired apple pie or olive oil gelato.

## Sunday Funday 

### The Blue Stoops 

  

 

The Blue Stoops was one of the coolest openings of last year. Now, the pub on Kensington Church Street – from the team behind Allsopp’s Brewery – is redefining Sunday lunch with exceptional wines and an indulgent menu. Partnering with renowned Bordeaux specialist Tuggy Meyer of Huntsworth Wines, Sundays are all about uncorking rare bottles like Château Patache d'Aux, Château La Tour Carnet and Château Angludet – all of which are served by the glass, carafe or even magnum. Executive chef Lorcan Spiteri and head chef Jacob Farley have put together a seasonal British menu – small plates include anchovy toast with shallots, pressed potato with mussels and pork, rabbit, and chestnut terrine; while mains feature Hereford beef and Allsopp’s Ale pie, old spot porchetta with swede; and rotating specials like half roast Sutton-Hoo chicken with bread sauce or a grand Côte de Boeuf. Crisp roast potatoes and braised red cabbage round out the feast, with desserts such as forced rhubarb crumble tart, sticky date pudding and meringue with chocolate sauce to finish.

## Have A Party 

### Close Ties X Shoreditch Arts Club 

  

 

Close Ties is returning to Shoreditch Arts Club for an extended late-night edition, blending top-tier food, natural wine and a killer DJ line-up to see out fashion week in style. This time, founders Joshua Bratt (Carousel) and Jake Norman (Trullo) welcome guest chef Angus Kitchin, fresh from his much-loved Chap Bistro, for his first kitchen takeover since its closure. Expect his signature bold, ingredient-led French bistro cooking – think rich sauces, deep flavours and comforting, no-nonsense plates made for pairing with a great bottle. Drinks come courtesy of Close Ties’ longtime collaborators Newcomer Wines and Moët Hennessy, keeping glasses filled with natural wines and house-made cocktails. Arrive early for a complimentary happy hour with Möet and canapés from 7-8pm before the party rolls on until 3am, where industry meets house party and the crowd knows exactly how to have a good time.
