LONDON’S BEST OUTDOOR Most movie fans will agree that the only thing better than heading to your local picture house for a screening of the latest blockbuster, is getting to do this in the rapturous setting of the great outdoors. Just picture it: popcorn in one hand, your favourite drink in the other and a

gorgeous sunset framing the big screen in front of you. You really can’t beat it. Therefore, we have for you 2019’s most sought after cinema experiences to take note of so that you can get in there and buy some tickets before they sell out…

Alexandra Palace A Star is Born - Luna

‘Film 4 Summer Screen’ (Somerset House, Aldwych)

Nomad Cinema (various locations) Nomad really are the ones to keep your eyes on this summer, hosting movie screenings in amongst cityscapes, across rolling parkland and even in cemeteries!

The other great thing about these guys: 100% of profits go to The Sustainability Institute, so you’re doing an amazing thing for charity just by attending.

If ever there was a time to pack a chic picnic (complete with a stylish warm blanket) it is for the Film 4 Summer Screen, which each year serves up a dose of the newest film releases mixed in with the most iconic. Taking place in the grandiose setting of Somerset House, this will tick all of the right memorable boxes.

Time Out Movies on the River (Tower Millennium Pier, Aldgate) Just when you thought al fresco movie-going was a unique step in itself, Time Out has taken it to the next level with their ‘Movies on the River’ event, complete with headphones to drown out the cacophony of the Thames and let you drift away – quite literally – into cinematic bliss.

CINEMA EXPERIENCES Never one to do things by halves, the Luna Cinema have established themselves as one of London’s most quirky cinema pop-ups, with the most notable last year taking place on rubber dinghies at Brockwell Lido.

Kensington Palace Mary Poppins Returns - Luna

Secret Cinema (various secret locations)

Rooftop Film Club (Bussey Building Peckham, Queen of Hoxton Shoreditch, Roof East Stratford) Taking place at three iconic venues, the Rooftop Film Club has capitalised on London’s love of rooftops and movies, combining them into the most spectacularly unforgettable experience. And then there is the perfect aesthetically-pleasing view of the deck chairs set in front of the London Skyline, which you can’t put a price on. Apart from the entry fee that is…

Now this one requires some effort but we can wholeheartedly say that Secret Cinema will make it worth your while with their completely immersive cinematic events, set up in secret locations across the capital. The next event is set to be a good one as they’ve let it be known that they’ll be plunging their attendees into the eerie fictitious world of Hawkins, in between screenings of ‘Stranger Things’.

TOP 5 FOOD CHALLENGES TO GET YOUR TEETH INTO It’s one of life’s ever-present phenomena: man’s quest to eat crazy amounts of food in an outrageously short space of time. Gone are the days of enjoying a leisurely meal without a care in the world; there are now more important things to think about like devouring obscene amounts of chilli when all your friends 1. ‘Triple Chilli Challenge’ (Meat Liquor Restaurants) This challenge has been going for some time now but evidently hasn’t lost any of its appeal, not least because it appears that people love eating chilli. For this challenge all you have to do is demolish a jalapeño burger, jalapeño hot dog and jalapeño fries, all in the space of 10 minutes… No big deal, right?

think you can’t. London isn’t a stranger to the ‘Man Vs Food’ phenomenon – quite the opposite in fact – and we consequently felt the need to inform you of the latest homegrown challenges so you can attempt to become fully-fledged (perhaps slightly nauseous) food heroes yourselves.

2. ‘Crabby Patty Challenge’ (Red Dog Saloon, Hoxton Square and Soho) Hot on the heels of their ‘Naga Viper hot wing challenge’, the Red Dog Saloon are now inviting guests to see how many patties they can cram into a burger for the joy of not having to pay for it afterwards. FYI, the record so far is 14 patties in 19 minutes!

3. ‘Dude Vs. Dough’ Pizza Challenge (Tank & Paddle – Heddon Street/ Minster Court/Bishopsgate) The pizza chefs at Tank & Paddle have very much hopped on the Food Challenge bandwagon with their yard long pizza challenge, which requires you to chow down the whole thing (plus a mac and cheese) within 15 minutes. If you do this you’ll be crowned the ‘Doughminator’, winning a £40 bar tab and a snazzy t-shirt.

Worth it? We think so.

4. Florentine Ostrich Egg (Florentine Restaurant, Park Plaza Waterloo) It’s not every day you get the chance to up the ante of your meal with an ostrich egg and we have to say this won’t be an experience you’ll forget in a hurry. This is also a chance for vegetarians to get in on the action with the egg taking centre stage on a Full English, with or without the meat. Hurry though, they won’t be in season for long.

5. ‘Chicken Parm Pile Up’ (The Pride of Paddington, W2) No stranger to ‘Man Vs Food’ events, Pride of Paddington have come up with an Aussie-inspired challenge which invites participants to see if they can polish off four layers of chicken parmigiana, complete with salad and chips, in 20 minutes. If you can manage this they’ll take it off the bill.

Florentine’s Vegetarian Ostrich Egg Full English This amazing brunch will feed 4-6 people and is complete with roasted sweet potatoes, halloumi cheese, broccoli, mushrooms, plum tomatoes and pitta bread. This dish must be pre-ordered and is subject to availability.

And wash it down with…

Florentine’s Pimm’s and Mojito cocktail pitchers now available for the summer. The perfect drinks to share and enjoy with friends on the restaurant's outdoor terrace this season.

INTERVIEW WITH S T E FA N O M O T TA HEAD CHEF AT KITCHEN AT HOLMES IN MARYLEBONE What can we expect from the menu and dining experience at Kitchen at Holmes?

The menu is very much a reflection of who I am.

Working on the initial stages of the menu we always found ourselves coming back to the same fundamentals. We wanted to create the perfect blend between some of the best seasonal produce as well as delivering dishes using international influences and techniques. Coming from Italy, I was fortunate to have the chance to visit markets every day and learn what the best ingredients for the season were and how to pick the finest ones.

How did you find yourself working as Head Chef at Kitchen at Holmes and getting into the restaurant industry?

I was born and raised in Biella, a small town in the North of Italy and I have always been very close to my grandmother who loved to cook. Every Sunday the whole family would get together at her house and I would go to the kitchen to see if there was anything I could help with – from peeling potatoes to setting the table. I loved to see my grandma working away in the kitchen from the early hours of the morning.

Looking back, I think the love that my ‘nonna’ had for making a Sunday feast for the whole family was what drove me to look to the kitchen for a career.

Now, many years later, I am the one in the kitchen following in her footsteps.

What do you think will make Kitchen at Holmes special and make people return?

Kitchen at Holmes is coming at the right time to an area that is growing in the London culinary scene. Marylebone has always been a very affluent neighbourhood however, we felt that the area was missing a place where people could grab a relaxed and hearty breakfast, lunch or dinner any day of the week.

24

LONDON REVEALED JULY-AUGUST 2019 ELEVENTH EDITION

What would you choose for the perfect meal from Kitchen at Holmes?

I would start with the Aubergine Tempura with Dukkah and Yogurt, for main our stand-out Courgette Spaghetti and finish with the Coconut Passion Fruit Fiesta.

Tell us a bit about the Marylebone area around Kitchen at Holmes.

Marylebone is quite an interesting part of London and, like the rest of the city, it is constantly evolving due to the exposure to so many different and wonderful cultures.

I know the area quite well, funnily enough, I used to work in Marylebone about ten years ago before moving to New York, so for me coming back is almost completing a cycle.

to me. In a kitchen your time is very limited to actually catch up, so I try to take my chefs out for dinner and make sure they know how much I appreciate their efforts in the kitchen every day.

I want them to know that I am there for them if they wish to talk, being that of a professional or a personal nature.

What do you like to cook for yourself at home?

Being Italian I am always cooking recipes from back home, from melanzane parmigiana to any type of pasta, including lasagne or tagliatelle with mushrooms.

Stefano’s Courgette Spaghetti Recipe

What do you enjoy most about your job?

I really enjoy working and mentoring my younger chefs. Watching them grow professionally is something that I wouldn’t change for anything. Usually, when they leave culinary school they come very well prepared, but struggle with adapting to the fast-paced reality of working in a fully functioning kitchen.

I try to be as open as possible to any questions that they might have and try to guide them. It can be anything from how they set up a work area to how to walk around the kitchen. I only ask them that they to show respect for their colleagues and their food, this is key if you want to work in a kitchen as a team.

Includes dairy and nuts Serves: 2 Prep: 10 mins Cook: 15 mins A quick and easy pasta recipe that showcases delicious courgette notes, accentuated by the profile flavour of pistachio and smoked ricotta Ingredients ⁄ 100g courgette spaghetti ⁄ 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil ⁄ 20g smoked ricotta ⁄ Handful of basil to garnish

For pistachio pesto ⁄ 100g basil blanched ⁄ 50g toasted pistachio ⁄ 50g grated Parmesan ⁄ ¼ garlic clove blanched ⁄ Salt and pepper

Method Start by blanching 100g of basil and ¼ garlic clove for the pistachio pesto.

To make the pistachio pesto, combine the blanched basil and garlic clove, 30g toasted pistachio and 20g grated Parmesan in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a large wok and stir fry the courgette spaghetti until it softens (to a similar consistency of al dente).

Turn up the heat and add the remaini ng grated parmesan and pistachio pesto. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Plate your dish and garnish with smo ked ricotta, crumbled pistachios and basil leaves.

Is there anything about your job that you think people would be surprised to hear about?

I try to take as much time as possible to get to know my team. If there is someone working in my kitchen, I like them to think of the whole kitchen team as their family and me personally, I want to get to know them, so when they have any sort of problem they know they can turn 25

THE SECRET LIFE OF...

THE BEEKEEPER

LESLEY HIPPLE We interviewed beekeeper Lesley Hipple to find out about life looking after the capital’s hives (including some on our hotel roofs). Park Plaza London Waterloo will be using their honey in a variety of different ways including honey infused massages at Mandara Spa, a honey menu in Florentine and in guest breakfast dishes.

What’s your background? Have you always been a beekeeper?

I have a very varied background working in bars, gardening and spending many happy years on the high seas as a sailor.

How long have you been working as a beekeeper?

I began beekeeping three years ago when I met Dr Luke Dixon from Urban & Community Beekeeping on the roof of City University. He was teaching beekeeping to a group of students on the roof of City University. I immediately became hooked and have never looked back.

What made you want to be a beekeeper?

A lifelong interest in the natural world, the importance of bees and other pollinators, and a fascination with the complexities of the honey bee world led me to that rooftop.

What does your usual day at work entail?

It can be very varied. There is a lot of clambering over rooftops where many of the city’s beehives are based. There are regular hive inspections checking on the health of the bees. There is also the very messy business of harvesting the honey at the end of the summer.

30

LONDON REVEALED JULY-AUGUST 2019 ELEVENTH EDITION

"PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY HIVES THERE ARE IN LONDON AND HOW MANY BEES. A LOT OF PEOPLE ALSO DON’T REALISE HOW GREEN THE CITY IS.”

What’s been your career highlight so far?

It’s difficult to pick one out as there have been so many but opening a hive for the first time and seeing the amazing world inside has still not been bettered. I love seeing London from the tops of some iconic buildings and teaching children about bees is really satisfying.

How do you become a beekeeper?

Find someone to take you under their wing or come along to our bee club at Coram’s Fields and learn the basics.

Is there anything surprising that people wouldn’t know about beekeeping? Or anything you wished they knew?

People have no idea how many hives there are in London and how many bees. A lot of people also don’t realise how green the city is.

What are the best and worst parts of the job?

The freedom and independence is really great. I love being in touch with the weather and the seasons. The changing world of nature is always exhilarating. I would say the worst part of the job would have to be getting stung.

How often do you get stung?

Too often.

How easy is it to spot the queen bee?

You learn to pick her out after a while. She’s bigger and a different shape to the other bees and she scuttles around in a particular way.

Many of our queens are marked with a little blob of paint to make her stand out from the crowd.

Is beekeeping a solo job or are you part of a team?

It’s a bit of both. Often I am out on my own, but I also work very closely with Luke and other beekeepers, so it can be quite sociable.

What do you do in your spare time?

What spare time? During the season the bees keep me busy 24/7. When things calm down in the winter I get back to catching up with friends, learning about permaculture and campaigning for a better world. I also love spending time with my ferret called Rolly.

Didier Agueh, our UK Executive Host and Artistic Director welcomes you to our especially curated nights in our beautiful restaurants and bars...

LE T US ENTERTAIN YOU July and August are usually the warmest months of the year here. So head outdoors to make the most of the beautiful London summer weather. Summer is also a time where music of all genres is celebrated throughout this vibrant city. Experience the world's greatest classical music event - the BBC Proms - at the magnificent Royal Albert Hall. Celebrate the capital's LGBTQ+ community at the Pride in London or head to one of London's big music festivals like Lovebox, Barclaycard presents British Summer Time or Somerset House's Summer Series. And don’t miss the Notting Hill Carnival - Europe's largest street festival where more than one million people take part in the huge Caribbean party for three days of colourful floats, parades, music and dance.

In July I would recommend that you go to Chino Latino to enjoy some great cocktails and live music on the National Tequila Day (24th July). Go on a romantic date while sipping good wine and listening to some chilled live music at

PRIMO Bar on International Kissing Day (6th July).

Celebrate with your best friends and indulge in some amazing food and drink at our brand new restaurant “Kitchen at Holmes” on International Friendship Day (30th July).

In August the new outside terrace of Florentine will definitely be the best spot to celebrate National Burger Day (22nd August) with their yummy Herculean Burger. And Vic's Bar will certainly be the hidden gem in the heart of Victoria to enjoy some bubbly on National Prosecco Day (13th August).

I believe you now have all the best tips to spend a great summer in this city which has so much to offer. Explore the outdoors during the day and feel free to visit us later on for some real musical and mouth-watering treats throughout all our venues.

FIVE MINUTES WITH...

LORN A WA N T What has been your best gig to date?

This is a bit of a tricky one to decide but my career has mainly been in musical theatre and I’ve had the opportunity to be in lots of musicals. But ‘Beautiful The Carole King Musical’ would have to be my best one to date. I started in it in 2015 and was with them for two and a half years. It was an amazing role with an amazing company and I had the opportunity to sing with Carole King in Hyde Park.

What has been the craziest moment in your career so far?

During ‘Beautiful’, I was nominated for an Olivier Award and I won! I still can’t quite believe it happened. I got to go to the awards ceremony and when they called my name it was such a shock but such an honour.

What are some of your favourite songs in your set?

In a gig environment, I like to do acoustic versions of some of the songs and one of my favourites is ‘Defying Gravity’. It makes them a bit different. ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’ is a really nice jazz number too.

How would you describe your music?

As my career has predominantly been in musical theatre my gig will be focused on this but I’m inspired by lots of different artists and genres, especially folk and jazz. I love musical theatre songs though because you can really emote through the lyrics - it’s a character telling a story and you can really put feeling through the song.

Who have you had the pleasure of working with?

So many people but I loved working with Katie Brayben who played Carole King and she won the Best Actress Olivier Award. I played Cynthia Weil - the lyricist and won Best Supporting Actress. To have that experience together - playing strong female roles and also both taking away those awards as women - was incredible.

Who inspires you and why?

To be honest, at the moment it’s actually my daughter. She’s two years old and a bundle of energy. If I’m having a bad day she inspires me to keep cracking on. I want her to be proud of me in my career and doing gigs and I can’t wait for when she’s old enough to come and watch me perform.

What have you got coming up?

I’m just writing a cabaret with two other mummy friends of mine who also did ‘Beautiful’. We all have children about the same age and the show is called ‘Mums the Word’. It’s a comedy and a fun night of truthful songs about juggling being a mum and an actress at the same time. The first show has sold out so we’ve added a second show on Monday 15th July at Crazy Coqs, Live at Zedel in Soho.

What is your favourite cocktail?

It’s a caipirinha. My husband and I were on holiday in Puglia, Italy when we discovered them and it’s where he proposed to me. We sat drinking them on the beach and it’s always our go-to cocktail although we don’t get to drink them that often now we have a two-year-old!
