Yet another cupcake shop has opened in London but this time with a twist!
Sweet Couture are stockists for Selfridges and Liberty and produce amazing mini bite size cupcakes and sweet treats. Sweet Couture cupcakes are just enough to savour the tastes and delights of different flavours and the ever-changing menu keeps you checking back to try their new concoctions.
The inclusion of the word ‘couture’ summons up obvious fashion connotations and makes sense when you see the boutique style shop in it’s period building surroundings. The minuscule shop is located just …

Recently I found out Bea’s of Bloomsbury is slap bang in the middle of a street I cycle past pretty much everyday! I had previously heard of the famous little bakery through a few mouth watering food and cake blogs, but never quite managed to getting round to dropping in and picking up a cupcake.
London is swarming with cupcake shops, some good some bad. Bea is a cute if somewhat dark café that doesn’t look very inviting from the outside but is packed full of sugary treats once you …

Guerilla Burger

35 James St

Is this yet another chain of fancy burger joints? This was the number one question on my lips when we stumbled upon the bright blue exterior of Guerilla Burger, tucked away behind Selfridges. Although there is currently only one Guerilla Burger, it had the definite feel and slightly corporate aroma of a chain, even though the restaurant was clearly trying to come across as hip and edgy.
Gourmet Burger described itself as ‘A laid back burger place with soul. Menu includes salads, hotdog & tacos, shakes, beers, …

Recently I have been to a string of eating establishments with friends and have been using vouchers for restaurants in London to save a little bit of cash. Money Supermarket have recently entered the vouchers race and have lots of great printable vouchers, if you dig a little deeper you can find vouchers for unusual restaurants that you might not go to usually.
One place I recently visited was an all you can eat steak restaurant called Rodizio Preto in Pimlico. We went there with some friends and headed along to …

Burrito Bros is yet another Mexican burrito stand/restaurant in central London, I stumbled upon this place after cycling past on the way to work pretty much every morning. I had been waiting for an opportunity to try the place out and recently I was at a work training session in the local area and dropped in with some work colleagues to check out the wrapped offerings.
The burritos were like a lot of other establishments in London, similar to a brick in size and weight, stuffed full of meaty goodness …

A relatively new fixture on the cycling circuit in London Look mum no hands! is an ultra-cool little café tucked between two post-war office blocks on Old Street (the Farringdon end). This spot is ideal for a pit stop on a long Sunday ride or as a meeting point for catching up with fellow cycling enthusiasts. The venue is quite open and reminiscent of a Swedish ski lodge with blonde pine tables and cosy benches running the length of the establishment. It’s quite easy to get settled in a let …

Inamo have got the genre just right and created a BladeRunner style eating environment to make you feel like you are in a trendy Japanese sushi bar in downtown Tokyo as soon as you step into the restaurant.

Hiccup….. I am sitting down to write this one gin cocktail, a bottle of red wine and a rather hairy cycle home later after a most excellent night at Volupte lounge. Having been invited for a free meal courtesy of the lovely little supper club, luke and myself head down after work, tired and slightly scruffy, and in need of cheering up after a long day.
Volupte lounge certainly does that. It’s the third time we’ve been here now and it never fails to please. After several cocktails in the …
