What to do This Weekend: 30th June – 2nd July
The weekend is almost upon us and whilst the weather might be more autumn than summer right now we aren’t going to let that deter us from heading out to brunch, going to day time G & T parties and watching ballet. So now you just have to decide what you’re going to do…
Dishoom

Whilst Ramadan might have finished, Dishoom are celebrating Eid Milan a week later with another legendary outdoor party. Bringing Londoner’s together through food, Dishoom will be cooking up a giant biryani and serving up popular drinks including Limca and Chai. There’ll also be live music, henna, calligraphy, face painting and food from other traders.
Saturday 1st July 12pm – 3pm
Where: Lewis Cubitt Square, King’s Cross

Irish Gin & Tonic Fest
Irish & T fuelled All Day Party
Think gin and you probably think of England, think Ireland and you’d probably think of Guinness or whiskey, but did you know drink fans that Ireland is making some of the best craft gin around at the moment and to let us all try it the Irish Gin and Tonic Festival are hosting its closing party in London. The gins you’ll be able to try are Boatyard Gin from Ulster; Bonac 24 from Leinster; Drumshanbo Gunpowder Gin from Connaught and Dingle Gin from Munster. Food comes from Irish TV chef Simon Lamont and Hackney based Irish DJ Chewy will be on the decks. Good food, good gin and music, what more could you want from your Saturday?

Cartel Battersea
Tequila Brunch Party
Don’t make any plans to do anything serious after one of Cartel’s brunch parties, you’ll either be sleeping it off or carrying on the party. The tequila and taco joint in Battersea are celebrating the weekend with two hours of frozen margaritas and Prosecco, lots of food and live music. You’re going to need to book ahead, to join in the party but it’ll be worth it. Thank goodness it’s on Saturday and not Sunday – no one wants to start the week feeling hungover.
Saturday 1st July and then 15th and 29th July and various dates in August and September.
Where: 517-519 Battersea Park Road, SW11 3BN

Wedge Issue
Canada Day
This Saturday is Canada Day which is the perfect reason to spend the afternoon stuffing yourself silly with pizza and beer at West Coast pizza specialists Wedge Issue. You’ll need to book but then you’ll have three hours to do as much damage as you can, all whilst listening to the sounds of Canada’s favourite singers – we’re hoping for Bieber and Carly Rae Jepson…

Untitled
Monthly Tasting Menu
Sometimes Sundays are sad, you realise the weekend is coming to an end… maybe you still haven’t done your chores and you’ll now have another week of unvacuumed carpets or maybe it’s been so brilliant you don’t want it to end. Cheer yourself up by heading to Tony Conigliaro’s new bar, Untitled, because the first Sunday of every month, which this Sunday just so happens to be, Head Chef Rob Roy cooks up a surprise tasting menu with each course being paired with a cocktail. Nice one.
Sunday 2nd July and then the first Sunday of each month. Booking advised.
