## Get Out Of The City 

### Yoxman 

  

 

First, a last-minute option that deserves serious consideration: Yoxman at Wilderness Reserve is back for its 2025 season in Suffolk. From Friday 7th to Monday 10th March, guests are invited to the 8,000-acre estate for a dining experience laid on by some of the world’s best chefs. This time, Simon Rogan, Nathan Davies and Dan Cox are in charge for an immersive weekend of extraordinary gastronomy. Your ticket unlocks a full programme of events – from champagne reception and lavish gala dinner to meeting the chefs. Expect Michelin-level meals and luxury downtime at the Wilderness Bamford spa.

## Try Somewhere New 

### Pyrá 

  

 

Joining local favourites like Milk Beach, Carmel and Don’t Tell Dad, Pyrá is the latest star in Queen’s Park’s ever-evolving dining scene. At the helm is head chef Mattia Caddeo bringing a bold, fresh spin on Mediterranean cuisine. Inspired by the flavours of Greece and Spain, he blends fire-grilled specialities with tapas-style sharing plates, all served up in a warm, stylish setting. Expect dishes like grilled octopus skewers, veal chop with a rosemary crust, paella arancini, pil pil prawns, stuffed peppers and Basque beef short rib. And for a show-stopping centrepiece? Choose from a whole leg of lamb (pre-order 24 hours ahead), whole sea bass baked in a salt crust or a mighty 1kg Galician ribeye on the bone. Desserts are just as indulgent and made for sharing — think Ferrero Rocher baklava and a rich Basque cheesecake for two.

## Escape To The Cotswolds 

### Calcot &amp; Spa 

  

 

Hearty food, refined drinks and indulgent wellness are the key pieces at Calcot &amp; Spa. The spa itself has a sauna, an outside fireside hot tub and a steam room. The gym offers excellent equipment and classes from HIIT to yoga. And finally, there’s a modern stretch pod for recovery – a UK hotel first. On the Epicurean side of life, the Brasserie offers breakfast, lunch and dinner with views overlooking the grounds, and you’ll find a cosy fire-warmed café and cocktail lounge in the Hive.

## Eat Differently 

### Tasca X Câv 

  

 

Chef residencies may be popping up all over the capital, but this is a must-know. Câv – the brainchild of Chris Tanner (Dram) and Edwin Frost (Oranj) – opens this weekend, taking over the former Japanese Canteen space. Blending cocktail bar cool with a rotating kitchen residency, it promises a bold, ever-evolving dining experience. First up is Tasca, a nod to Portugal and Spain led by chef Josh Dallaway (of Bruno and Oranj fame) and sommelier Sinead Murdoch. The menu offers playful twists on Iberian classics, including the jambon beurre gilda, pork and prawn cachorrinho (Porto’s classic hotdog) and the indulgent bikini – a Barcelona-inspired brioche sandwich stuffed with tomme de chevre cheese and Iberico ham, drizzled with smoked maple syrup and served with salted goat’s milk ice cream. Half the bottles on the forward-thinking wine list hail from Portugal and Spain. Sinead champions female-founded businesses and winemakers who use sustainable farming methods, with natural and low-intervention wines taking centre stage.

## Meet The Boys 

### The Knave of Clubs 

  

 

Shoreditch has a new local worth raising a glass in. James Dye (Camberwell Arms) and Benjy Leibowitz (JKS, The NoMad NYC) have brought back to life this Grade II-listed pub on Bethnal Green Road. It’s a proper pub at heart – pints, crisps, pork scratchings – but the food’s a cut above. Think French market flair: rotisserie porchetta, oozy cheese, leek and red onion toasties, and venison sausage rolls.

### Dear England 

  

 

James Graham is a powerhouse of British theatre, and his latest hit, *Punch*, is making the leap from Nottingham Playhouse to London’s Old Vic. But if you want to catch one of his most career-defining works, *Dear England* is back at the National for a limited run. For those who didn’t catch it the first time, the play follows Gareth Southgate and the England team in the run-up to the Euros. With the worst penalty record in the world, Southgate knows it’s not just about tactics – it’s about confronting years of hurt and finding a new way forward.

*Olivier Theatre, National Theatre, South Bank, SE1 9PX; 10th March-24th May*

## Get A Culture Fix 

### The Face Magazine: Culture Shift 

  

 

This exhibition celebrates the ground-breaking fashion photography and portraits from [*The Face*](https://theface.com/), the influential youth culture magazine that shaped British creative scenes. Published from 1980 until 2004, The Face propelled musicians and models like Kate Moss to fame and launched the careers of leading photographers and stylists. Relaunched in 2019, the magazine continues to champion new talent. The exhibition showcases over 200 images from more than 80 photographers, many of which are being displayed off the page for the first time.

*St Martin's Place, West End, WC2H 0HE; until 1st June*
