## Soak Up The Sun 

### Café Mission’s Rooftop Oasis 

  

 

Tucked away above Fashion Street in Shoreditch, Café Mission’s rooftop terrace is now open for the season – and it’s looking better than ever. This hidden spot blends warehouse cool with bohemian charm. Count on parasol-covered seating by day and a relaxed buzz come sunset. Chef Chris Golding – formerly of Sachi and Dinings – is behind the menu, which includes standout brunch plates like shakshuka with smoked chilli, and poached eggs with avocado on grilled shokupan. There’s also a concise list of sandos, salads, natural wines and classic cocktails. Ideal for a low-key day in the sun or a laid-back evening above the city.

*3rd Floor, 7-9 Fashion Street, Shoreditch, E1 6PX*

## Enjoy An Easter Feast 

### The Connaught Grill 

  

 

The Connaught Grill is doing Easter properly. Helmed by executive head chef Ramiro Lafuente Martinez, the Mayfair restaurant is serving up a milk-fed lamb roast for the long weekend. Expect leg and slow-braised shoulder, both cooked over the Grill’s signature wood-fired flames and served with traditional trimmings. Don’t skip dessert – the chocolate brioche with buckwheat and chicory ice cream is a decadent finish, but the crêpes suzette, flambéed tableside on a silver trolley, is the real showstopper. Start with a martini from the silver tray and raise a toast to a bank holiday done right.

## Eat Well For Less 

### Market Tuesdays At Burger &amp; Lobster 

  

 

Burger &amp; Lobster’s cult-favourite Market Tuesdays are back – and they’re bigger and better. Every Tuesday from 5pm, all London restaurants will be serving up 1.25lb whole lobsters at the day’s Borough Market rate. That means buttery, grilled lobster for around £26. Perfectly cooked, exceptionally priced and made for pairing with fries and a cocktail, this is one of the best-value seafood nights in town.

*Various locations*

## Take The Kids 

### National Maritime Museum 

  

 

Think pirates are all parrots, peg legs and buried treasure? Think again. The National Maritime Museum’s latest blockbuster exhibition is setting the record straight. Just a short stroll from Deptford’s St Nicholas Church – whose eerie skull-and-crossbones gateposts are rumoured to have inspired the Jolly Roger flag – *Pirates* delves deep into the myths and realities of life on the high seas. From Captain Pugwash to Jack Sparrow, the show explores how pirates have been depicted in pop culture over the centuries, while revealing the brutal truths of the real men (and women) behind the legends. Expect rare artefacts, immersive displays and a global story that spans past and present – including the piracy threats still facing modern-day sailors.

*National Maritime Museum, Romney Road, Greenwich, SE10 9NF; until 2026*

## Meet The Boys 

### Between The Bridges, South Bank 

  

 

As warmer days roll in, London’s outdoor venues start coming into their own. Between the Bridges is one of the city’s most exciting riverside spots to have on your radar. Reopening for the season on 17th April, this space tucked between Waterloo and Westminster bridges is laying on a packed schedule of live music, DJ sets and themed club nights. Add in sweeping Thames views, an array of street food vendors and plenty of spots to sit back with a cocktail, and you’ve got one of the best places to soak up spring. To mark its return, the team is handing out 500 free drinks on opening night – arrive early to get involved.

*The Queen’s Walk, South Bank, SE1 7NA*

## Fill Your Boots 

### Seed Library’s Chocolate Toastie &amp; Shot 

  

 

Easter isn’t just for the kids. At Seed Library – Mr Lyan’s sultry subterranean bar in Shoreditch – the holiday gets a grown-up twist with an indulgent pairing made for late-night snacking. Available across the long weekend, the Chocolate Bunny Toastie features smashed-up Maltesers bunnies melted into sourdough and toasted until golden. On the side? An egg-cup shot of milk bourbon, cacao and pine honey – a boozy little chaser that balances sweetness with a whisper of woodland smoke. Pop in for a pre-party pick-me-up or finish your evening with a decadent bite.

*100 Shoreditch High Street, E1 6JQ; until 21st April*

## Up Your Hosting Game 

### Made in Oldstead’s Easter Feast 

  

 

Easter feasting doesn’t get more luxurious than this. Chef Tommy Banks – of Michelin-starred The Black Swan – has created a stunning Easter Lamb Feast box, available nationwide via Made in Oldstead. Designed to serve four, the centrepiece is a whole Yorkshire lamb leg, surrounded by seasonal sides like roasted savoy cabbage with herb oil, whipped ricotta-topped turnips, and – for pudding – a show-stopping rhubarb crumble with hay ice cream.

*Delivered 19th April; £150 for 4*

## Cook Up A Feast 

### Richard Corrigan’s Springtime Supper via Dishpatch 

  

 

If you’d rather keep things cosy this Easter, let Richard Corrigan bring the restaurant to you. The award-winning Irish chef has created a three-course seasonal supper, delivered nationwide via Dishpatch. Start with grilled mackerel and gooseberry compote on sourdough, followed by lamb rump and a slow-braised lamb croquette with pickled courgette, whipped basil ricotta and black olive crumb. Dessert is a silky chocolate mousse with boozy cherries and a dollop of yoghurt – the perfect balance of richness and tang. Ideal for two, it arrives fully prepped and ready to heat. All you need is a bottle of red and a candlelit table.

*Order by 4pm, 16th April for delivery on 17th April; £90 for 2*
