Life’s too short to stay in; there’s tons of fantastic events in London this week, if you only know where to look. Here’s 5 events in the capital you can’t miss this week:
1. For a Feast: Bruno Loubet x Shaun Hill
What: Grain Store and Bruno Loubet have partnered with Shaun Hill of the Michelin starred Walnut Tree Inn near Abergavenny for a one-off ‘Spring Feast’ happening tonight! If you’re in need of a delicious plan this evening, head down to Granary Square for a menu that like no other.
Why: The special four course menu pays homage to their mutual love for the highest quality produce. Kicking off proceedings is the vegetable patch, cooked by Bruno – a celebration of Bruno’s favourite ingredients; veggies. The next two courses will be cooked by Sean – sauteed monk fish tail and new season lamb fricasee with asparagus, leeks and potato. Bruno will finish off the dinner with his tonka bean tart and champagne sorbet. Tickets here

2. For a Special Pop-Up: Little Red Door x Callooh Callay
What: If you’ve become tired of the same bars, menu and people – head down to Callooh Callay‘s JubJub Bar from Wednesday (20th) to sip on new cocktails created by Remy Savage and his team from Parisian bar, Little Red Door. The pop-up is only running until Sunday – get down there as soon as.
Why: The menu explores the evocative nature of flavours and whether we all share similar feelings when exposed to different sensory stimuli. Composed of 11 works of art created by international painters, sculptors and creatives, the menu offers visual representations of the emotional imagery evoked by each of the 11 distinctive cocktails. If that’s too much for you to handle, neck an array of heady cocktails.
