BEST LONDON BRUNCHES PART 1/2

Ah, brunch. That magical, mid-morning affair where breakfast has a lie-in, lunch wears sequins, and prosecco flows like London rain. But this summer, London’s bottomless brunch game has taken things up several notches – from sushi and sake in Shoreditch to line-dancing cowboys in Holborn. Whether you’re a die-hard foodie or a bruncher who lives for the drama (and the glitter), here’s where to sip, feast, and repeat this sunny season…

All You Can Sip at @sticksnsushi.uk

Best for: Sushi lovers and sake sippers

If your dream brunch involves chopsticks, Champagne and a cheeky DIY bellini, Sticks’n’Sushi Shoreditch is calling your name. Their All You Can Sip brunch is a luxe parade of Beef Tataki, Karaage chicken, Tuna Tartare, maki rolls, skewers and a sorbet trio finale. But the real clincher? Ninety minutes of bottomless English Spritz, Asahi, Mio Sake and fizz – with juices to pimp your prosecco into a mimosa, bellini or rossini.

100 Shoreditch High St, E1 6JQ
£70pp – Saturdays, 12–4pm

Asian Market Vibes at @ubalondon

Best for: Pan-Asian street food feels

Forget the eggs benny. At UBA, the brunch menu takes you on a whistle-stop tour of Asia, with small plates like Korean Fried Chicken and Salmon Hirata buns, followed by Donburi bowls or stir-fried noodles. Add 90 minutes of bottomless cocktails, prosecco or wine for the full far-flung flavour fantasy. Think of it as Tokyo-meets-Bangkok, but with fewer passport requirements.

61-67 Great Eastern St, EC2A 3HU
£25 for food, +£40 for bottomless drinks – Sat–Sun, 12–4pm

Bhangra Brunch at @thecinnamoncollection

Best for: Spice, sparkle, and a side of bhangra beats

Turn your Saturday into a dance floor with Cinnamon Kitchen’s high-energy Bhangra Brunch. Nestled under the Battersea arches, this feast-meets-festival affair includes nine flavour-packed dishes – from masala scrambled eggs to tandoori chicken and saffron kulfi – plus bottomless prosecco or champagne. Expect DJs, dhol drums and a full-blown brunch rave.

The Power Station, 4 Arches Ln, SW11 8AB
Food priced individually – Bottomless prosecco £29pp / champagne £59pp

London Foodies’ Guide to Happenings in July - Part 3/3

ORIGIN CITY’S OYSTER ODYSSEY @origin_city

Oysters are having a glow-up at Origin City in Farringdon. The family-run, nose-to-tail restaurant with its own Scottish farm has launched a rotating oyster tasting menu – different varieties every week, paired with all the right condiments and a printed tasting sheet so you can pretend you’re an expert. It’s the seafood equivalent of a wine flight, and we’re here for it. Also worth noting: their hogget shoulder with anchovy dressing might just change your summer.

THE DARK HORSE TERRACE: PINTS, PIZZAS & MUSIC IN CAMDEN @darkhorsecamden

Upstairs from one of Camden’s most effortlessly cool new pubs is a sun-drenched terrace slinging pizzas, loaded fries and strong opinions on vintage pub food. The Dark Horse has quickly made a name for itself as the local for music heads and pint lovers alike, and now it’s bringing those vibes to its rooftop space – minus the chaos of Camden Market below. Come for the snacks, stay for the vibes, and maybe catch a surprise DJ set from Tape London’s sonic wizards.

APERITIVO HOUR AT CHIAVE, SHOREDITCH @chiave.shoreditch

Aperitivo hour should be a legal requirement. And at Chiave – the musically obsessed, moody little bar on Redchurch Street – they’ve nailed it. Order a cocktail (they’re excellent) and you’ll get three free snacks: think olives, cured meats, cheese, perhaps a surprise or two. DJs spin low-key sets upstairs or underground, the crowd is stylish but unpretentious, and the soundtrack is heavy on groove. Aperitivo, unlocked.

PINTXOS & SGROPPINI AT ORIOLE @theoriolebar

Is there a better sentence in the English language than “complimentary pintxos with every cocktail”? Oriole doesn’t think so. Between 3–6pm daily, order one of their dreamy Ice Cream Union-powered Sgroppinis – sorbet + liqueur + Moët = genius – and receive tapas-style bites straight from Spain: Pan con Tomate, Gildas, Spanish Tortilla. Sit on the terrace. Sip something bubbly. Pretend you’re in San Sebastián. Repeat.

ARCADEx RETURNS TO BATTERSEA POWER STATION @batterseapwrstn @batterseaharleysfoodhall

The food, drink and party juggernaut that is ArcadeX is back, taking over the Coaling Jetty with burgers from MANNA, baos from BAO, New York-style slices from Gracey’s and tequila-soaked tacos from MEXA. Add Casamigos cocktails, frozen margaritas, riverside views, live DJs and screenings of Glastonbury, Wimbledon and the Women’s Euros. Essentially, this is your summer – all 12 weeks of it – planned. You’re welcome.

COLBERT X MANUEL CANOVAS: PARIS BLOOMS IN CHELSEA @colbertchelsea

Colbert has gone full Parisian summer fantasy, teaming up with luxury fabric house Manuel Canovas to drape its terrace in technicolour florals, French elegance and Champagne. Literally. Sip a Daisy Spritz or a glass of Pommery under floral awnings and imagine you’re in Saint-Germain-des-Prés (but with fewer tourists and more real estate envy). Très chic, très Chelsea.

London Foodies’ Guide to Happenings in July - Part 1/3

July in London is shaping up to be deliciously chaotic, fizzing with aperitifs, omakase artistry, terrace takeovers and noodle-fuelled friendships. Whether you’re a Lambrusco lover, a rooftop reveller or someone who just wants a solid excuse for a spritz at sunset, here’s our round-up of the capital’s must-know happenings.

HUMBLE CHICKEN: THIRD TIME’S A MICHELIN CHARM @humblechicken_uk

Chef Angelo Sato’s Humble Chicken has entered its next, unashamedly ambitious phase – chasing that elusive third Michelin star. Gone is the yakitori counter of yesteryear; in its place, a sleek 13-seat omakase temple of taste, carved from cherry wood and fuelled by local produce and rare Japanese ingredients. Expect 16 precision-crafted courses, hand-carved chopsticks from Niigata, Herefordshire-blown crockery, and a sake list so deep it requires scuba gear. This is a sensory pilgrimage – less dinner, more transcendental experience.

NOODLES, CHILLI AND CHUMS: FRIENDSHIP LUNCH AT NOODLE & BEER @noodleandbeerltd

Is there anything more bonding than a fiery bowl of Sichuan noodles and a shared cocktail-induced sweat? The answer is no. Noodle & Beer’s new Friendship Lunch aims to turn lunchtime into quality time, offering 50% off a second main dish and drink when you bring a friend (sorry, solo noodle lovers). Must-tries include the Xian Jiao Niu-Rou – spicy, beefy, peanutty joy – plus a roster of soups, sides and a Lychee cocktail you didn’t know you needed. Upstairs, it’s all light woods and chilli-red accents; downstairs, moody bar vibes for long lunches that become dinner.

TEN YEARS HIGH: SKY GARDEN X APEROL SUMMER TERRACE @sg_skygarden

Ten years above the clouds calls for a birthday bash with a view – and Aperol’s stepped in to bring the fizz. The Sky Garden’s summer terrace is back, 35 floors up, with spritz trees (£50 for four), sunset soundtracks and a one-night-only party on 11 July complete with DJs, live music and enough orange-hued cocktails to dye your soul. Book now or regret it as you sip flat prosecco in your garden with the neighbours.
