The Draycott sits on a quiet residential street in London’s Chelsea, three blocks from King’s Road and Sloane Square. It’s a great location, in one of the city’s loveliest neighborhoods. The hotel itself is quintessentially English, a cozy townhouse converted by Mantis, a South African hotel group with a strong environmental commitment, into a boutique hotel that makes you feel like you’re staying in someone’s home. There is something very 19th century about The Draycott. From 4 to 5 p.m., guests trickle into the Drawing Room on the ground floor for complimentary tea and biscuits. (A full-on afternoon tea is available, at additional cost, with crustless sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, macarons, fruit tarts, Victoria sponge and other cakes.) The room looks out onto a broad landscaped lawn, with the backs of brick townhouses across the way. Back to the 19th century part: as with drawing room society back in the day, you’ll find yourself striking up conversations with fellow guests before you head out to the city, and upon your return. The Drawing Room Top: The Savoy Hotel; is a gathering spot for those who want to chat, read a Bottom left and right: newspaper, sit by a cozy fire, or, from 6 to 7 p.m., enjoy a The Draycott Hotel complimentary glass of champagne. The Draycott does not have a restaurant, but there is 24-hour room service and a chef who prepares a full breakfast (with organic eggs), served in the breakfast room downstairs. The dinner menu favors English classics like bangers and mash, fish and chips, homemade steak with ale pie, along with lighter fare, and it red-flags potential allergens—nuts, gluten, milk—in certain dishes. The iconic Savoy Hotel is quite a charmer. Set in London’s And something else is unexpected: The hotel is a West End, just steps from the heart of the theater district, member of the Green Tourism for London Scheme, the first the hotel has a true theatrical pedigree. Opened in 1889 by independently audited green accreditation for the tourism theatrical impresario Richard D’Oyly Carte, who opened industry in London, with over 150 measures of sustainable the Savoy Theater, it was the first luxury hotel in Britain, tourism practices. Businesses are rated based on the number modeled after great luxury hotels that Carte admired in of measures they have put into place, and The Draycott, the U.S. depending on the year, ranks from silver to gold.

their politics at the door and eat/drink in a convivial atmosphere. Not only is it still going strong, but Parliamentarians from all sides of the aisle still gather here, in the Pinafore Room, to discuss everything but politics! Many of the hotel’s light, airy rooms offer panoramic views of the Thames River, which was painted by Monet and Whistler at the hotel. It is an easy walk across the Waterloo Bridge, along the banks of the Thames, to the Tate Modern. Arriving back to the hotel afterward to take afternoon tea in the Thames Foyer is a joyous experience, and the dome provides natural light that not only illuminates the spacious room beautifully, it saves electricity. The spa—bundled with the gym, and known as the Beauty and Fitness Centre—is a small jewel, a private retreat with steam and sauna, a large pool and a well-curated menu of essential oil-based treatments. fairmont.com/savoy

English Glamour

Though a bit petite in size, in spirit, The Dorchester looms large. One of London’s grande dame hotels, it is elegant and altogether captivating, and will steal your heart, if you let it. The lobby is a place to see and be seen, where you can take afternoon tea, enjoy cocktails (and live music) or dine at the Michelin-starred Alain Ducasse, China Tang, The Grill (for modern British cuisine) or The Promenade. For those who need to move after all that wining and dining, the hotel offers a jogging map through nearby Hyde Park, with one-, two- and three-mile routes available. Downstairs in The Dorchester Spa, The Spatisserie beckons behind a light, gauzy curtain. A small but opulent spot, it is the perfect place to enjoy a light lunch, afternoon tea or glass of champagne with your spa buddy. The Spa, with nine treatment rooms, a mani/pedi suite and an uber-stylish Relaxation Room, features exquisite Aromatherapy Associates and Kerstin Florian treatments that will leave you feeling weightless, with an imaginary veil of well-being lightly grazing your shoulders, and a lightness expanding inside your head. That, and another glass of champagne. dorchestercollection.com

London Secrets

This engaging new book by Janelle McCulloch (Images Publishing) peels away the city’s layers to reveal secret style and design spots that you will want to know about and visit, next time you are in London. Little gems include botanical-inspired dining spots, especially in Chelsea, home of the Chelsea Flower Show, as well as flower markets and hidden gardens. It’s a guide to the beautiful nooks and crannies that London is known for: book shops, textile designers, antiques, vintage and quirky specialty shops. It’s as though a well-traveled editor decided to open her secret address book and share it, which, of course, is exactly what McCulloch did.

Savoy Beaufort Bar Jazz in a golden bar. What's the deal? Choose between the live pianist in the American bar (6.30pm - midnight) or the stunning gold Beaufort bar with live jazz and a Burlesque feel. The latter is a bar dripping in gold with exceptional cocktails. What am I likely to hear in the bar? A live band playing a concoction of jazz inspired by Cabaret. What am I unlikely to overhear in the loos? "Bit shabby, isn't it?"

Monthly Unique Browsers: 3,786,801 In 2008 I went to the bookstore and bought two books, Imbibe and The Savoy Cocktail Book. The combination of the two, along with other experiences were extremely influential in my decision to choose bar tending as a career path. Fast forward to 2016, I never in a million years would have thought bartending would take me around the world. Here I am sitting at the bar at the Savoy and I couldn't be happier, truly blessed to have a job that I love and to be surrounded by such amazing people in this industry. #fullcircle#firsttimeinlondon #lovethisbiz

The Savoy

Covent Garden, London, England 8 Telegraph expert rating Savoy Sessions are hosted every Friday night under the glass atrium of the Thames Foyer. Soak up the sultry jazz tones and pick your poison - perhaps a Citrus on the Rock cocktail, with tangy foam, earl grey rocks and grapefruit sorbet, or a dessert from the Savoy pastry team (or both?). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food for the soul. In addition, Evenings of Cabaret and Burlesque shows at The Savoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beaufort Bar started 80 years ago and you can still enjoy a slice of the action on the first Sunday of every month, with top hosts, names and international burlesque performers who wow with acrobatics, hula hoops, magic and comedy.Read expert review

Hanky Panky London, England During the dry years of prohibition, the cocktail world’s centre of gravity – once so firmly ensconced in the United States – shifted towards wetter climes. Well-heeled Americans would make the short leap to Cuba, where they discovered the delights of the daiquiri and the mojito. Others found themselves further from home, in the cosmopolitan city of Paris, or searching for drinks and the meaning of life and death in Spain. But while these watering holes had their delights, it was to London that a great many of America’s most talented bartenders and their customers repaired. And when they arrived, they encountered Ada “Coley” Coleman – head bartender of the Savoy’s famous American Bar, and the first female celebrity bartender. Under the tutelage of the wine merchant at Claridge’s hotel in London, Coleman had learned how to mix drinks – starting with the Manhattan circa 1899. From Claridge’s, she had moved to the newly renovated American Bar at the Savoy, and in a short amount of time became its head bartender. She worked at the Savoy for over 25 years, mixing drinks for the cream of Edwardian society, including the Prince of Wales, Charlie Chaplin, Mark Twain and the actor Charles Hawtrey. According to Coleman, Hawtrey had a habit of dropping into the American Bar after long days of work and asking for “something with a bit of punch in it”. After some experimentation, Coleman presented Hawtrey with an original cocktail – a mixture of gin and sweet vermouth spiked with a few dashes of potent Fernet-Branca bitters. Hawtrey took a sip, then promptly drained the glass and shouted out, “By Jove! That is the real hanky-panky!” 45ml gin 45ml sweet red vermouth 5ml Fernet-Branca Orange peel, to garnish Build ingredients in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir to chill. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a twist of orange peel.

Images: James Bedford As the recent furore over the silencing of Big Ben makes clear, you mess with national institutions at your peril. Perhaps it is not so surprising as it might be, therefore, that Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the Strand has not undergone a refurb since 1903, when Arthur Conan Doyle was still a regular diner.

Latterly, however, as Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gastronomic status soared, Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had started to feel somewhat stale, preserved in aspic. Could there really be a place, amid the clean eaters of the 21st century, for its iconic silver trolleys, groaning beneath their loads of meat? Well, yes, as it turns

out; they are the first thing that catches my eye as I enter the oak-panelled dining room once hailed by PG Wodehouse as “a restful temple of food”. Indeed, the changes that I do spot are entirely for the better: chic parquet flooring has replaced the ageing carpet, and the wooden chairs have been swapped for comfy red leather ones, while our attentive waiter is emphatically and charmingly French. The menu, too, has been given an update by Simpson’s new head chef, William Hemming, a former sous-chef at the thoroughly modern Sky Garden in the City, to give a twist to tradition. While Simpson’s former aficionado Charles Dickens might well have felt at home with the creamy, sweet chilled pea soup we ordered, he would have been startled by the accompanying cucumber and mint granita with crispy yogurt. In similar vein, a crab mayonnaise is enlivened by the crunchy sweetness of candied walnut, while the traditional London smoked salmon is served with ‘London zero curd’, whatever that is. Main courses, by and large, are less experimental. On a warm summer evening, we aren’t quite up to facing the meat trolley, and watch in amazement as a couple of diminutive Japanese tourists load up their plates with pounds of beef, potatoes and Yorkshire... But my Barnsley chop is enormous, flavoursome and perfectly cooked, topped with a cheesy gratin; it goes perfectly with a heritage tomato salad, and we also indulge in a couple of slices of the restaurant’s famous Beef Wellington, which is so rich we aren’t able to finish it. Politeness only compels us to share a trifle – for how can one dine at Simpson’s without indulging in a nursery pud? – but our jaded appetites revive with this light, zingy concoction of gooseberries and custard. Simpson’s began in 1828 as a chess club, and it seems appropriate that the Red Queen springs to mind as we stagger down the steps and back into the bustle of the Strand. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.”

Squaremeal Review of Knights Bar at Simpson's in the Strand Established in 1828, Simpson’s has become a stolid institution for the British Establishment, and this eccentric, off-radar cocktail lounge is its upstairs bar. Knight’s was originally a chess club, hence the chequerboard fascia on its wee bar. Decor is reassuringly retro: frosted fern-coloured chesterfields and Louis XV

Share this Restaurant

repro gilt armchairs in matching silk damask. Bar snacks of potted shrimps, cauliflower curry, and pork and apple sausage roll appear alongside drinks on Knight’s notable new list. The cocktails – inspired by British traditions, and gin-led – have been developed in conjunction with Erik Lorincz, currently starring at sister bar, The American at The Savoy. Put The Kettle On (Earl Grey-infused gin, sloe gin, vanilla gomme, Campari and redcurrants) is certainly our cup of tea. So too is OMG!, a Champagne cocktail boosted with yuzu, gin, red vermouth and verjus. Another ginny jape aims to replicate the taste of fish & chips: OMG indeed!

Heritage is fused with modern London life to create the place in the Strand to meet, eat and socialise. Restored ceilings, chandeliers, and soft lush furnishings revitalise the Grand Divan dining room and give the feel of a comfortable stately home that harks back to the opulence of the Edwardian era. Guests can dine on a new menu of traditional British fare with a contemporary twist; however long-standing patrons will recognise the original carving trolleys from 1848 from which the famed roast beef will still be served, tableside, as a nod to tradition.

Supper is served With a few year’s service under its apron, Kaspar’s has now �rmly established itself onto the London foodie scene. Open from morning to late at night, as well as an all day dining menu there’s a fantastic pre and post-theatre offering as well as an ever-changing selection of seasonal dishes. Seafood is the headline option, but there are plenty of other choices too (http://www.kaspars.co.uk/menus/).

We started with Isle of Wight heritage tomato salad and a generous portion of creamy burrata from the latter, which takes full advantage of great British produce. It’s the �sh that really takes centre stage though and we made a valiant, sel�ess effort to sample as much as possible. Oysters to start, followed by grilled lobster with lashings of garlic butter and Dover Sole – the stand out dish of the night. Article Continues Below

Freshly baked and tortuously warm bread appeared, as if by magic, throughout the evening and inventive puddings provided a talking point towards the end of the meal, though they couldn’t quite overshadow the main

Sitting pretty Kaspar’s has cottoned on to London’s love affair with art deco interiors. Here it’s unmistakeable. And grand. There’s the chequerboard marble �oor, teal leather banquettes and burnished metal �ttings throughout. The central, circular bar is framed by a dramatic chandelier – made up of individual glass shards – which looks more like an art installation than lighting.

Despite all of this, the restaurant still manages to maintain a friendly sort of luxurious informality. The aforementioned banquettes are wonderfully comfortable, framing large tables, evenly spaced throughout the restaurant. Kaspar’s is the kind of restaurant that works perfectly for special occasions – from Christmas family gatherings to birthday treats.

Kaspar’s Seafood Bar and Grill at The Savoy serves main courses starting at £18. The pre-Theatre menu (also available post-Theatre) costs £26 for two courses or £29 for three courses. (http://www.kaspars.co.uk/)

KASPAR’S, (http://www.kaspars.co.uk/) The Savoy’s art deco seafood restaurant and oyster bar has recently taken the lead from it’s popular neighbours Balthazar and Rules and extended their serving hours later into the evening. With last orders now at 11pm, guests to Kaspar’s can enjoy some of London’s best seafood dishes in its decadent interior while overlooking The Thames. London boasts a wealth of strong contenders for dining, but being about to dine at a high quality restaurant late in the evening is still somewhat of a rarity here in the UK so this trend is surely to be welcomed for both post-theatre diners and late eaters alike.

Dishes here are simple in construction, customary for traditional �sh restaurants like Kaspar’s, but consistency is often comforting such as the grilled cod and homemade fries and Isle of Skye Lobster with tru�e and chive mash we dined on. Kaspar’s Seafood Bar and Grill Kaspar’s is a restaurant you can order a Lobster BLT or oysters and enjoy either in lavish surroundings, sitting reclining comfortably in one of its many booths. The lighting is low and �attering, perfect for late night dates and special dinners. For groups of thirteen, the Savoy still o�er guests the addition of Kaspar – the namesake cat – to boost diners up to an equal number. For the last 90 years this has been customary to avoid the superstitious death that one guest back in 1898 declared would fall on the �rst person to leave a table of 13.

We rounded the evening o� with the molten chocolate torte and mixed berries – a refreshing combination of elder�ower sorbet and red fruit consommé. Kaspar’s won’t surprise but it will seduce with the well-balanced combination of the classic menu, attentive service and opulent dining room, and, more importantly, now more accessible late into the night. by Stephanie Clair Kaspar’s Seafood Restaurant (http://www.kaspars.co.uk/) The Savoy, Strand, London, WC2R 0EU Tel: +44 (0) 20 7420 2111 Email: savoy@fairmont.com (mailto:savoy@fairmont.com) Wye Valley asparagus with poached egg cauli�ower and cured ham.

Monthly Unique Browsers: 37, 400 The American Bar at the celebrated London landmark, The Savoy, is debuting a new cocktail menu. The new menu is called Coast To Coast and will take guests on a sensory journey across Britain from south to north. The new menu offers vivid details of landscapes, folklores, history, and distinctive characters. The cocktails are visually striking and use explorative ingredients to capture the essence of every region they represent. In the Garden of England, Kent, drinks represent blooming, lush, growth. Fresh ingredients include cobnuts, nuts, and apples and the cocktails are served in exquisite plate glass terrariums. Guests are then taken through London at the peak of the Art Deco era. Take in the elegant sophistication with a cocktail in an elongated coupe served on a silver platter. Then prepare to be enchanted as the menu journeys into the Sherwood Forest. Get lost in the details of ancient myths and be comforted by the tastes of woodland ingredients as cocktails are served in a whimsical silver goblet with a wooden base. Then your taste buds will head for the Pennines at the height of the Industrial Revolution. Cocktails offer a range of exotic flavors from the burgeoning empire and the drinks are served on cogs holding intricately cut glasses and garnishes. The Coast To Coast journey comes to a bittersweet end at Castle Rock. Guests will linger on whiskies, unique flavors, and Scottish legends from glasses perched high on shards of slate.The Coast To Coast menu at the American Bar will be accompanied by a key to help guests navigate through each new region and every unique recipe. Pick up a cocktail glossary and let yourself be immersed in the sensory details, familiar locations, and artfully crafted cocktails. The Coast To Coast menu offers an extraordinary experience at the American Bar.

Soho A few steps down the road, you will reach the doorstep of the bohemian Soho square. Bursting with endless character and edginess, it’s hard to believe that Soho is just one square mile - with Oxford Street sitting north, Piccadilly Circus to the south and Regent Street and Charing Cross Road on either side. Its winding and artsy streets are filled with small theater venues including Apollo Victoria Theatre(Shaftesbury Ave), Queen’s Theatre (also Shaftesbury Ave) and the Prince of Wales Theatre (Coventry Street) performing classics such as Wicked, Les Misérables and The Book of Mormon. There are also local independent café’s (Flat White is a local favorite), artisan bakeries (Gail's Bakeryand Kova Japanese Patisserie) and fun-filled dance bars (including Club 49 and Rumba), making it a favorite amongst creatives, young professionals and anyone looking for a good time pre or post-theatre. Incidentally, it is also the only place in London where Café Nero closes at 2 am! The infamous Beaufort Bar at the Savoy Hotel is a must-visit for everyone seeking a glamorous champagne-filled experience. With its bygone age black and gold interior décor, the infamous bar stocks all the ingredients for a perfect night, including a wide variety of champagne, fine wine, vintage ports and other handcrafted cocktails.

Dandelyan London wins at World's Best Cocktail Bars 2017 | Visit Gay London

Held in New Orleans, the annual cocktail-fest saw London’s Dandelyan bar in the Mondrian Hotel on the South Bank scoop the very best cocktail bar in the world award. Run by Ryan Chetiyawardana within the swanky Thames side hotel, Dandelyan won three awards: best international bar team, best international hotel bar, and the world’s best cocktail bar. The news comes after Dandelyan came third place at last year’s World’s 50 Best Bars awards 2016, behind The Savoy’s American Bar (Number 2) and New York’s The Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog (Number 1). London has always been synonymous with the glamour of a hotel cocktail – with places like the Ritz and the Savoy havens for London’s bright young things to party the night away. But recent years have also seen a new breed of cocktail bar popping up across London, that takes swank, style and science to new levels to create some of the world’s most impressive (and delicious) drinks. Other London bars that did well at the Spirited Awards this year include Trailer Happiness in Notting Hill, awarded best international high volume cocktail bar, and Swift in Soho, named best new international cocktail bar. The Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards recognise the year’s best bars, bartenders, writers and experts, voted by a panel of more than 100 industry experts. Last year, the World’s Best Bar award went to the The Connaught Bar at the Connaught Hotel in London. Here’s what London won – and the best bars you should be heading to for a well deserved sip of liquid heaven.

Hybrid foods are shaking up the food scene - Bunzl Innovate (http://innovate.bunzlcatering.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/ice-clair_credits_to_red_photographic_2-1.jpg)The latest culinary hybrid to hit Instagram is the Iceclair. Created by Melba, the Savoy’s gourmet counter on the Strand, the Iceclair is an éclair filled with soft serve ice cream then dipped in chocolate. A truly scrumptious meeting of éclair and ice-cream! Michelin star chef, Heston Blumenthal, continues to combine unique flavours to create his world-famous unique dishes like Meat Fruit – an apple filled with pate, baked and topped with Maple syrup.

Interestingly, as hybrid foods have evolved and diversified – so has a range of hybrid packaging. Similar to hybrid food, hybrid packaging utilizes different material types in one packaging solution, to provide a ‘best of both worlds’ type solution for contemporary food-to-go. For example, Combione packaging from our partner supplier Colpac, combines a paperboard base with a plastic lid to create an easy one piece solution that is both leak-proof, and offers excellent visibility. Combione is available in sizes large (1110ml) and extra-large (1280ml). Coalesce from partner supplier Anson packaging is a unique patented hybrid solution, with a paperboard base and plastic lid, and is available in sizes, small (500ml), medium (750ml) and large (1000ml). In 1874, a US patent was awarded to Samuel W Francis for a utensil with a handle and a spoon-like end outfitted with a knife-edge and fork tines. Often called a spork, or a spoon/fork – this convenient, multifunctional piece of cutlery is particularly useful for food eaten on the go. In fact, at Bunzl Catering Supplies we sell rPET twisty salad bowls with a spoon/fork inserted into the inside, top of the lid – which means that the cutlery is ready to travel, hassle free. New to the market, and perhaps a reflection of the multi-cultural food available to eat on the go, is the Chork – a hybrid of a chopstick and a fork. The chopsticks can be used as they are, or snapped off to be more like traditional chopsticks. Turned the other way round, customers who prefer a more traditional tool for eating, have the familiarity of a fork. Hybrid packaging, like hybrid food, provides a versatility that many customers are coming to enjoy and expect. We predict that hybrid food will continue to diversify in 2017 – and that hybrid packaging will be hot on its heels with innovation.
