A Bunch Of Brunches
Brunch; it’s that time of day we rid ourselves of last night’s debauchery by downing Bloody Mary’s, and feast our appetites and Insta feeds on avocado on toast like it’s going out of fashion. Knowing that there’s a bunch of brunch addicts in every single one of us, we’ve kept our peepers out for the best new brunches of the moment. Here’s what we found:
The Orrery
With our ever-growing love affair for Barre sweeping the city, it’s no surprise a brunch and barre has parked up at The Orrery. If you’re all about brunch boozin’ then this might be one that won’t peak your interest as much, but it’s definitely one that should. Barre & Brunch runs every Sunday and sees an Xtend Barre class followed by brunch and a goal setting masterclass with lululemon. For those who don’t know, barre can leave you weak at the knees and hankering after gallons of water (and gallons of food)!
Not to fear, The Orrery put on quite the spread with a menu curated by Chef Patron Igor Tymchyschyn featuring roasted butternut squash, wild mushrooms and poached egg, Jambon de Savoie, quail egg and truffle vinaigrette and smoked salmon, orange and quail egg which you can wash down with a range of juices.
Where: 55 Marylebone High Street, London, W1U 5RB, United Kingdom

Big Chill Kings Cross
Chuck Burger has launched a chick-chick-chicken fuelled brunch, pushing boring ‘ol coffee and cereal to the sidelines and barging through with the likes of chicken and waffles with smoked streaky bacon, spicy potato hash with peppers and onions, breakfast burgers with potato rosti and chipotle ketchup and peanut butter and jelly French toast. WOW. The exhaustive list comes with copious amounts of espresso martini to keep you from going into a food coma and in true Big Chill brekkie style there will be a DJ on the decks.
Where: 257-259 Pentonville Road, N1 9NL

Quaglino's
An iconic restaurant hidden within historic and stylish St James’s, synonymous with style and glamour, Quaglino’s, owned by D&D London, serves contemporary European food and legendary cocktails, and it’s about to be one of your brunch go-tos. The brunch features live music and a menu of delicious and current brasserie style dishes and brunch favourites. Most importantly? There’s bottomless prosecco and with that you can’t go far wrong. Bottoms up!
Where: 16 Bury Street, London, SW1Y 6AJ, United Kingdom

MOVE At Market Halls
MOVE your butts over to Market Halls and you’ll find a funky new boutique fitness studio and concept headed up by former England rugby player, Christian Lewis-Pratt – and no, that’s not us giving The Hollywood actor a weird alias or extended name, it is indeed the rugby player. So, distract yourself from the featured image and listen up to how it all works! Every Saturday there’s two Move & Munch events, each of which will be welcomingly followed up by brunch and drinks. Food includes avo’bab with avocado, feta and pomegranate and decadent English muffin with fried buttermilk chicken, smashed avocado, fried egg and sriracha and guests receive a 20% discount – ooft, bonus!
