What to do This Weekend: 4th -6th August
This weekend it’s all about the bottomless brunches, booze, beers and burgers – love a bit of alliteration. It’s time to check out of the office and check into the weekend..
Sartoria Restaurant
Sorrento Terrace
Sartoria are bringing the Italian seaside to Mayfair this summer in the form of five bespoke Martini cocktails – how else? Their Sorrento terrace, in collaboration with Martini, will be decked out so you can forget you’re actually in London (some imagination required) and the menu will include the likes of Mayfair Gelato made from Drapo Rosso, Martini Ambrato, Tuve Bitter and orange sorbet and the Sartoria Sour made with Barcardi Rum, Tuve Bitter, Martini Rubino, lime and sugar syrup.
Friday 4th August – 30th Saturday September
Where: 20 Saville Row, London, W1S 3PR, United Kingdom

Lucky & Joy
Chinese Pop-Up
Want to branch out from your usual Chinese order? Then head to Lucky & Joy, where Ellen Parr (co-founder of The Art of Dining) and Pete Kelly will be serving up a menu that maps the breath of regional Chinese cooking. Following successful stints in Tottenham and Hackney’s Institute of Light, the duo will now be on Cambridge Heath Road until the end of September. Dishes will include Xinjiang cumin lamb ribs hailing from the provence North- West Muslim China, as well as the numbing heat of Sichaun cooking with a Bang Bang chicken salad. In the adjoining arch, you’ll find The New Leaf, a bar from the team at The Art of Drinking and inspired by the drinking dens that line Beijing’s hutong alleyways.
