Mojitos, Mindful Eating and General May Madness

We’re already loving the surfeit of activity going on in May and we’re only on day 4, but don’t worry – there’s so much to come for you to get in that diary for the month.

Eat

All the cheese you can dream of at the Urban Cheese Festival

No you’re not dreaming, Camden will be playing host to a brand new cheese festival brought to you by the London Cheese Project! Seriously though, all day on 6^th – 7^th May you can talk to top cheese makers, taste dishes from some of London’s biggest street food traders and try out innovative cheese pairings all while listening to live music and drinking cocktails. The best bit? It’s free to enter, although some of the talks require a small payment and booking.

Incredible Indian food at Alchemy

 For a whole 10 days this month, explore the creativity and culture borne from the UK and India’s shared history. Of course the food is our biggest excitement, but there’s everything from music to fashion, literature and film in the form of talks, shows, tastings, installations and much more.Running from the 19^th – 29^th May at the Southbank Centre it will be open every day from 10am – 11pm. See all the details on the events right  here, and book for the ticketed events here.

Drink

Your favourite summer drinks (even if the sun’s hiding)

We know the sun hasn’t properly come out yet (actually it’s hardly come out at all) but that doesn’t mean we’re going to wait any longer for that pale rosé or mojito. Speaking of summery cocktails, we’ve got some uber cool tipples coming to several of our bars in a couple of weeks time…keep your eyes peeled for next week’s blog which will give you the low down.

Prosecco galore at Prosecco Springs

 Considering the rising obsession with Prosecco over the last few years, it’s amazing there hasn’t been a Prosecco festival yet – particularly given how many there are every other sort of beverage. Well, London’s first Prosecco festival has arrived; Prosecco Springs will take place in Oval Space near Cambridge Heath over 4 days (11^th – 14^th May) featuring Italian food, live music and masses of Prosecco over a series of master classes and talks. Wer’e sold!
