Duck & Waffle’s Debut Afternoon Tea
Fancy afternoon tea with a view? Book a table at one of London’s highest restaurants, Duck & Waffle, perched 40 floors above the city. As a nod to its namesake dish, the new offering begins with a hand-painted duck egg being cracked open to reveal an array of sweet and savoury treats. Start with lobster rolls and Cubano brioche sandwiches ahead of treats like the sticky toffee waffle, orange dark chocolate jaffa macarons, and classic scones with jam and clotted cream. Enjoy alongside cocktails like the Wild Bloom, a mix of wild berry tea, gin, creme de cassis and lavender cordial, plus premium teas and champagne.

Tasca’s BBQ Party
Tasca, the Portuguese-inspired residency helmed by chef Josh Dalloway and sommelier Sinead Murdoch, was initially launched as a year-long residency at Cav in Bethnal Green. Despite rave reviews, it will be closing earlier than planned, allowing the duo to focus on finding a permanent site for a restaurant. Haven’t tried it yet? Head down on 7 September for its ‘see you soon’ barbecue party, which will see Dalloway and the team sizzling up dishes on the terrace. Think pintxos, langoustines and bifanas (garlic and spiced pork sandwiches). Complete with paired wine and DJ tunes, it’s the perfect way to see out summer.

The Ivy’s Downton Abbey Menu
To mark the film release of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, The Ivy Collection is launching a special menu, inspired by 1930s dining. Guests will begin with traditional dishes like Severn & Wye smoked salmon, or the salade du verger made with figs, pelicans and red chicory. For mains, there’s the signature shepherd’s pie, garden vegetable curry, or grilled lemon sole on the bone – a dish fit for a grand dinner service. For dessert, there’s a chocolate dome or a theatrically flambeed apple tart. Enjoy alongside The Gilded Peach Cobbler, a nod to the ‘30s, or you can keep it simple with a glass of champagne.
