LONDON IN A

GLASS THE SAVOY HOTEL SHAKES UP THE BRITISH CAPITAL WITH COCKTAILS INSPIRED BY THE CITY AND ITS STORIES.

PICKERING PLACE ~For Two~ London’s smallest public square, Pickering Place, is located down a narrow passageway off St James’s Street. Historically, the square was a popular venue for illicit activities, particularly duelling. We pay homage with two contrasting cocktails – choose your side with one of each or two of the same: The Bold (left): Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Whiskey, Fernet Branca Menta, Byrrh, sugar syrup and coffee. The Elegant (right): Bombay Sapphire Gin, Cocchi Rosa, Campari, lemon juice, egg white, saffron syrup and champagne.

he Savoy has been called London’s most famous hotel. A landmark in the City of Westminster, the hotel has tended to the needs of the upper crust since it opened its elegant doors on The Strand back in 1889. Built by the impresario Richard D’Oyly Carte, The Savoy soon became the place to see and be seen and little has changed over the years. Its guest list contains the names of the rich and famous from George Gershwin and Frank Sinatra to Edward VII, Jimi Hendrix and George Clooney. Renowned also for its food and drinks, the hotel’s art deco American Bar was one of the earliest establishments to introduce American-style cocktails to Europe. The Savoy Cocktail Book, by barman Harry Craddock, is still in print after 86 years and the American Bar’s famed mixologists have invented cocktails to mark places, events (like royal weddings) and people (like Princess Diana, who inspired the bar’s “Blushing Monarch” cocktail). It seems appropriate then that in 2016 the American Bar has launched a new menu of cocktails honouring the city it has so long served. Driven by American Bar manager Declan McGurk, The London Menu combines theatre and storytelling as it takes guests on a liquid journey around six of the London boroughs that surround The Savoy. “Essentially, when coming up with the concept, we wanted to do a menu that very much celebrated London as a city,” says McGurk. “In doing so we felt it would fit perfectly with the American Bar’s tradition of storytelling through cocktails.” Here are some of the 24 London Menu concoctions. Enjoy the tour…

GREEN PARK The park is said to have originally been a burial ground for lepers from the nearby hospital at St James’s. The park is still owned by the Crown and has been open to the public since 1826. At the western end of the park is the Wellington Arch, which was built in 1826 to celebrate the Duke of Wellington’s victories in battle. ~Light~ Jensen’s Old Tom Gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup, celery, bitters, egg white and basil.

BRONZE GUARDIAN Towering above the entrance to The Savoy is a gilded statue of Count Peter of Savoy. In 1246 King Henry III granted this estate to his wife’s uncle, Count Peter, who built a palace on the site. During the peasants’ revolt of 1381 the Savoy Palace was destroyed. In 1889 part of the land became the site of the present Savoy Hotel. ~Light~ Grey Goose Vodka, apple, pine, camomile, lemon verbena, lemon juice and sugar syrup.

ABBEY ROAD Originally a nine-bedroom Georgian townhouse built in the 1830s, the building was later converted to flats. Acquired by the Gramophone Company in 1931 and converted into studios, Abbey Road Studios is famously known as being a recording venue in the 1960s for The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Hollies and Badfinger. ~Medium~ Star of Bombay Gin, Martini Rubino, lemon juice, yuzu juice, champagne syrup and citrus dust.

PUNK ROCK Having opened nine years before The Savoy, Upper Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hope and Anchor Pub went on to have quite the alternative future. Its heyday came during the 70s when the pub embraced punk rock. From Dire Straits to The Police, this pub has hosted many famous artists, but certainly its most iconic moment was when Madness filmed their video for One Step Beyond in the basement in 1979. ~Medium~ Bacardi Superior Rum, Ancho Reyes, grapefruit juice, sugar syrup, Peychaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bitters and hickory.

The Savoy London

Managed by Fairmont, this five-star hotel is one of the most notable in London, standing on the northern bank of the River Thames offering a stunning view of the bridges and city skyline. The Savoy is a landmark in its own right. Since 1889, it has hosted royalty, celebrities, and world leaders with understated luxury and unmatchable service. Culinary Legacy The Savoy is remembered for not one but two groundbreaking gourmet innovations. At its founding, renowned chef Auguste Escoffier set what was then a high-water mark for hotel dining, inventing (among other dishes) peach Melba for the famed soprano Dame Nellie Melba during her stay. And the American Bar remains a legend in mixological circles, the source of bartender Harry Craddock’s The Savoy Cocktail Book and the oldest surviving cocktail bar in London. 78

Today, in addition to the American Bar, the Savoy serves traditional British roast dinner in Simpson’s-in-the-Strand and Knight’s Bar, a French-inflected menu in Gordon Ramsay’s Savoy Grill, and informal dining in a beautifully Modern setting in Kaspar’s Seafood Bar and Grill, where Deco chandeliers shine on delectable plates of smoked salmon, cured sea bass, or fresh rock oysters. The Thames Foyer provides an outstanding traditional afternoon tea, and Melba, a gourmet takeaway counter, serves sweet and savory pastries to passers-by on the Strand. Heart of the City The Savoy is located in the center of Central London, near the National Gallery and the Houses of Parliament, surrounded by the boutiques and restaurants of SoHo on one side, and the timeless River Thames under the swirling London Eye on the other.

Designer Pierre Yves Rochon blends two styles – the classic English Edwardian and the continental Art Deco – in the appointments of the guestrooms and suites. Each of the 268 rooms is unique, and those staying in one have access to spa treatments, a private pool and a 24-hour gym. The room décor will often reflect the tastes of famous past guests: The Marlene Dietrich Suite, for instance, is always decorated with her favorite embellishment, a dozen pink roses. Thirty-eight of the rooms come with special Savoir beds which guarantee an extra level of comfort (and which are also available for sale from the hotel, should you absolutely fall in love with your night’s sleep). The most special stays, however, must take place in the river-facing rooms, where the neon-lit grandeur of London reflects off the gently lapping Thames all night long. Fairmont. com/Savoy-London

to bath in goat milk. You would think that would be easy, but the Lady wanted it straight from the goat. There are not many herd in central London, so I had to send a chauffuer to Wales to collect the milk. What inspires you most in your job? What inspires me is to have a guest that has had a perfect stay. I have this idea that one day I will gain absolute perfection it is always my main goal.



What is the main goal of the Butler Academy? It is to pass knowledge to younger people. My type of service is a dying art and I need to make sure the next person is up to that role. I want a Butler to have the confidence to carry that forward and enhance the service. Also, there is no on the job butler training that is City and guild backed. You have welcomed and trained Etihad Airways' unique inflight butler trainees. What is the biggest difference between hotels' and inflight butlers? I can have guests for one to three days or even longer. But the most important thing to me is each interaction with a guest. I suppose that at The Savoy we would have to carry out more traditional butler tasks. The Savoy is a dog friendly hotel. How do you spoil man's best friend? I will have a dog bowl and a welcome amenity on arrival as well as your dog bed ready. I will have a menu for your dog, so that he can chose from it. I will have your Butler walk your dog for you and a dog sitter while you are out and about town.

7 Must-Visit Old-School London Restaurants

I read a review recently of Simpson's-in-the-Strand, a restaurant that opened in 1850, in which the writer described the restaurant as "old-fashioned." It went on to say: "Simpson's does not look like a place that changes." That could have been written yesterday—but is actually from 1899. The reviewer, Lieutenant-Colonel Newnham-Davis (how many restaurants reviewers nowadays have a military rank?), went on to say: "carvers. . . leisurely push carving dishes, with plated covers, running on wheels, from customer to customer." Simpson's is a bit faded round the edges now, but in the wood paneled-dining room, white-coated waiters still push huge joints of roast beef around on trolleys. In a city like London with its vibrant culinary scene, it's easy to get swept up in the new—in popups and food trucks, in Instagram-friendly dishes and on-trend vegetables—and forget about the familiar faces. But the city's longest-established restaurants also have some amazing food to offer. Here are 7 old-school London restaurants that aren't just old; eating at them is like stepping back in time. - Henry Jeffreys http://www.foodandwine.com/slideshows/7-must-visit-old-school-london-restaurants/7

The Savoy, A Fairmont managed Hotel, has always welcomed the most talented of artists to entertain guests and has recently launched Jazz Fridays, a new weekly evening of musical entertainment in the Thames Foyer. Renowned as the vibrant heart of the hotel, the Thames Foyer is most famous for welcoming guests for one of the most impressive afternoon teas in London. Now, as day becomes night, the atmosphere in this magnificent glass domed atrium takes on a more sultry tone, transforming into a candlelit setting reminiscent of the 1920s jazz age. Performer Nicola Emmanuelle brings her own contemporary and iconic style to the work and sound of the original jazz pioneers of the 30s, 40s and 50s, entertaining guests with renditions of some of the all time jazz greats. Evolving from a South African jazz dynasty and classical jazz background, Emmanuelle has been involved with several renowned artists, producers and directors as well as writing her own new material. Jazz aficionados, entertainment seekers and guests of the hotel alike, will be able to immerse themselves in a hue of musical brilliance at this regular jazz night, performed by a distinguished talent in the industry. Accompanied by her talented pianist, Emmanuelle will play three sets beginning at 8pm and running through to 11pm every Friday for guests enjoying a relaxed evening of drinks, dinner or dessert and cocktail pairing in the Thames Foyer.

The Temptation Wheel Dessert and Cocktail Pairing Menu Available in the Thames Foyer from 7:30pm to midnight, the Temptation Wheel Menu provides guests with a truly unique and indulgent dining experience featuring show stopping desserts created by The Savoy pastry team. Each dessert has been carefully matched with a handmade chocolate and uniquely blended cocktail and, on Friday’s, will provide the perfect accompaniment to jazz. Examples from the dessert and cocktail menu are:

Chocolátl Unique textures of 63% Gran Blanco dark chocolate served in an edible coco pod Citrus on the Rock Tangy citrus foam, earl grey rocks, honey tuile, zesty grapefruit sorbet Southern Rose – fragrant, floral, fruity Grey Goose, rose, muscat, St Germain, raspberry syrup Winding Road – indulgent, intense, deep Bacardi Ocho, ruby port, coffee maple, chocolate bitters http://www.eglobaltravelmedia.com.au/jazzfridaysatthesavoy/

and decked out with some of the best crustaceans the capital has to offer. Scallops could be cut with a fork; the dressed Dorset crab hits all the right notes. But it’s not all old-school glamour food – Jackisch’s approach is at the fore in his octopus ceviche, which our waiter pairs with a gavi that’s fresh, highly acidic, and reminiscent of poached pears. We stick to seafood for the mains, and mine is one whose complexity is belied by its texture: red mullet is a tricky beast, and can be chewy even when cooked at this level, but its subtle, saline flavour suggests a raw ingredient of the highest echelon. My guest’s lobster is similarly flawless, (as you’d hope from a marquee dish) – its buttery, rich nuances make even a Stag’s Leap chardonnay from Napa taste light. Elements of the Savoy may still feel, in the best possible way, like a relic, but Kaspar’s is now thoroughly up-to-date. H Kaspar’s Seafood Bar & Grill, The Savoy, Strand, WC2R 0EU; kaspars.co.uk

BY NICK SAVAGE In JG Ballard’s late novel The Kindness of Women he recounts walking onto Steven Spielberg’s production of Empire of the Sun in Hertfordshire. He’s amazed by how much more genuine the set felt than his own memories. I suspect that he might have had a similar reaction walking into Park Chinois in Mayfair, restaurateur Alan Yau’s newest project and his most ambitious yet. Like Ballard’s fiction, it channels the glamour of the prewar Bund in 1930s Shanghai. Yau is famous for creating spectacles (see Hakkasan or Duck & Rice) and this Berkeley Street venture is his most spectacular to date, rumoured to have cost in the vicinity of £20m to build. From the reception to the red velvet, Park Chinois exhales opulence. Upon arriving, guests are greeted by a phalanx of sleekly coiffured staff who will ensure you are relieved of your outerwear and delivered to your table in high style. The whole enterprise is exceptionally formal: servers attired in white tuxedoes marshal white-clothed tables with aplomb. The flooring is dark mahogany and the bar black malachite. Cerise red chinoiserie is spread throughout, and a band in the restaurant’s centre strums out jazz standards. Food-wise, the main event at Park Chinois is the roast duck, which can be blinged out with Beluga caviar. While the menu shares DNA with Yau’s Cantonese menus, there are some interesting intersections between western and eastern cuisines, including a carbonara made with udon noodles, sea urchin, 65°C egg and pancetta – a dish that JG Ballard might have conceived in one of his forays into science fiction.

The good folk at The Savoy know what they’re doing when it comes to tea—and so they should. They’ve been serving afternoon teas in their grand atrium for 125 years, after all. Their afternoon tea offers classic favourites, including loose leaf teas served with ﬁnger sandwiches, and homemade scones on tiered cake stands, but it’s their delicate and imaginative pastries that really stand out, like their Macaron Interpretation, made of a vanilla custard and fresh strawberries, with an almond macaron, or the Savoy Eclair, a twist on the classic with a mango-passion fruit creme, and a chocolate ganache. The Savoy’s afternoon tea is served in their Thames Foyer, and starts at £50 per head. 2) The Kensington Hotel

stepping inside those 120‐year old walls. A number of ‘firsts’ occurred at The Savoy – it was the first hotel in London to have an electric elevator, the first to have electric lighting, the first to offer ensuite bathrooms. Even before there were telephones, bedrooms were connected to the valet, maid and a waiter through speaking tubes. Service is as much a part of The Savoy’s heritage as it’s swanky interiors and famous Publication Date: April clientele. It was among the first to set up its own hospitality school to cater to guests Circulation: 650,000 such as Winston Churchill and Claude Monet (yes, it’s that old). The hotel’s chauffer drives a Rolls‐Royce Phantom. After a three‐year renovation, the hotel re‐opened in 2010, it’s 1920s décor gleaming. And with it, Kaspar’s, a seafood grill, took over the riverside dining space. Part of the pleasure of visiting the Savoy, even if just for a coffee, is wandering through it’s public spaces, so the stroll through the Conservatory, straight back to Kaspar’s, is all part of the experience. The room is a step back in time – art deco, with a seafood bar occupying the centre of the room and covers for solo diners or couples, New York‐style, with comfortable‐looking stools.

Kaspar’s Seafood Bar and Grill, The Savoy, London

We’re shown to a corner banquette, where we happily take a view of the room, rather than the river. The river is a view for tourists. The view of the room, for those of us fascinated by the theatre of it all. It’s how we notice the wide range of guests – some have come for a big night out, another table is surrounded by Hollywood‐types, and then there’s a quiet Middle Eastern couple, casually dressed residents of the hotel. The mix of different diners is okay, and we’re not keen on dress codes, in general, but something about seeing guests wearing jeans in a dining room at the Savoy, feels sacrilege. 2/4

Discovering cocktails with a story to tell at the Savoy

(http://www.luxuriousmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Savoy-American-Bar.jpg)

Leanne Kelsall samples the new London Menu at the Savoy’s world-famous American Bar The American Bar at the long-standing Savoy certainly has a tale to tell. This century-old cocktail spot is one of the most iconic in the world – with the likes of Oscar Wilde and Frank Sinatra regularly seen sipping on a short or two way back when.

bartender’s bible’. This liquor-loving handbook was written by famed bartender Harry Craddock. When Publication Date: April prohibition hit America during the 20s and 30s, Craddock jumped ship toCirculation: Blighty where he became a 200,000 legend in his own right, steering American Bar to great success. One hundred years later and the bartenders at the Savoy are still some of the best in the business, with Erik Lorincz at the realm. He’s a chap who certainly knows a thing or two about cocktails, with the title of ‘Best International Bartender’ under his belt.

(http://www.luxuriousmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Savoy-American-Bar-1.jpg) Although impressive, we weren’t attending the American Bar to admire its legacy of legendary bartenders. We were there to put the newly launched London Menu through its paces. Little did we know that, with six sublime sections to choose from, we couldn’t possibly get through it all. Meticulously crafted over several months by Erik and his team, the new cocktail menu brings together contemporary creations and Craddock classics. The illustrated London Menu could be more likened to a children’s book than a cocktail list, with its hand-drawn illustrations and a wonderfully written narrative for each tipple. The unique menu is split into six sections – with each section representing one of six boroughs surrounding the Savoy. From Westminster and the City, to Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Islington to Camden. Our favourites came in the form of the Policeman’s Hook (£25) from Westminster, and the

Olympia (ÂŁ20) from Tower Hamlets.

Described as a deă&#x2019;żč&#x201D;žnite must-try by our charming tie-and-jacketed host, the Policemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hook was unlike anything weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever tasted. Similar in strength to an Old Fashioned, this full-bodied beverage includes Haig Club grain whisky, Amontillado sherry, barley syrup and Angostura bitters, with a toasted edible

kombu topping. It certainly looked intriguing as it arrived in an oriental cup with artiă&#x2019;żč&#x201D;žcial lawn. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content/uploads/2016/03/American(http://www.luxuriousmagazine.com/wp3000x2248.jpg) Pickering_Place-W2Bar-London-Menu(http://www.luxuriousmagazine.com/wpcontent/uploads/2016/03/AmericanW1.jpg) Bar-London-Menu-Abbey_Road(http://www.luxuriousma content/uploads/2016/0 Policemans_Hook-W1Bar-London-Menu2248x3000.jpg) an intriguing story behind the drink too, involving a hook on Great Newport Street. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let you discover the hookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history for yourself. The sweet, ę?Łđ&#x2DC;?&#x20AC;oral ę?Łđ&#x2DC;?&#x20AC;avours of The Olympia are inspired by the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, as the menu explained. This long and indulgent cocktail includes reă&#x2019;żč&#x201D;žned Beluga Noble Vodka, Roots Mastiha, lemon juice and pink grapefruit juice, before being ă&#x2019;żč&#x201D;žnished with greek syrup and egg white. A topping of edible ę?Łđ&#x2DC;?&#x20AC;owers and fresh herbs added a unique aroma on every sip.

(http://www.luxuriousmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Savoy-American-Bar-2.jpg) The London Menu also includes a 㒿蔾ne vintage section, with cocktails ranging from £100 to £5,000. Commenting on the new menu, American Bar Manager Declan McGurk says: “Essentially when coming up with the concept, we wanted to do a menu that very much celebrated London as a city. In doing so we felt it would 㒿蔾t perfectly with the American Bar’s tradition of storytelling through cocktails.” We’ll certainly be returning for another evening of storytelling at the Savoy soon.

THE SAVOY LAUNCHES SPRING AFTERNOON TEA Afternoon Tea, Hotels, Restaurants

Being young is overrated these days, it’s all about longevity: we have the Queen turning 90, a celebration of 400 years of Shakespeare and The Savoy serving afternoon teas for over 125 years. Their latest tea is their new offering for spring which sees two iconic British greats come together to reflect the ever-so-slightly warmer months. The sandwiches for the new afternoon tea will include options like coronation chicken on olive bread and Scottish smoked salmon with lemon infused crème fresh on malted bread plus of course, scones with jam and

Suranne Jones

Hobby? Walking in the rain. Best night out? Eating suet pudding with her husband. TV choice? Er, the Doctor Foster star has bad news for her old Coronation Street colleagues... What’s your earliest memory? It’s of my brother Gary chasing me around the house with an inflatable Twiki robot from the TV show Buck Rogers In The 25th Century. What sort of child were you? i d lk i

Outgoing and talkative, so much so that an early teacher suggested my parents send me to Oldham Theatre Workshop because it would ‘channel my enthusiasm’. I went to dance classes and band classes – I learned to play the violin and recorder. And I got to act as well as perform in musicals, which remain my first love. What’s been your greatest achievement? I’d have to say Doctor Foster. I was thrilled that we were getting more than ten million viewers. I know what’s coming in the next series, too. I signed up straight away. How could I say no? The nation would be in uproar. I did pick up some medical knowledge. I learned how to perform a resuscitation from [former footballer] Vinnie Jones. I got an email from our research team, which included a clip of an advert of Vinnie doing heart massage to the Bee Gees song Staying Alive. I was a little shocked... I never thought I would take lessons from Vinnie Jones. Tell us a secret b lf

about yourself I’m a rambler. I do like a good walk. Even when it’s p****** down, you’ll find me wearing a cap, my waterproofs and a backpack. I’ll walk through the woods to the local shops. It’s so much nicer than the gym. It’s sad but I ordered welly boots and a pac-a-mac and was very excited when they arrived. Who would be your dream dinner date? Julianne Moore. I’d like to sit down with her and have some of her coolness rub off on me. I find her fascinating. She doesn’t give a s*** about being aesthetically pleasing, either. What are you scared of? Bees – they freak me out. I’ll run half a mile if I even hear a bee near my ear. What’s the worst thing anyone has said to you? One review said I was ‘flailing around like a dead dolphin’. Although it was mean, the worst part was that it didn’t make sense. If they’d said I was flailing round like a dying dolphin I would’ve i di d

appreciated it more. Dead dolphins don’t flail. Who would you like to say sorry to and why? If I really needed to say sorry to someone, I’ve done it. You know inherently if you need to clear the decks because otherwise it stays with you. If anyone thinks I owe them an apology, please write to Event and they’ll pass it on. What’s been your most embarrassing moment? When I first won at the National Television Awards for Coronation Street, I’d broken my shoe just before I went up to accept the award. Instead of saying thank you, all I could think to say to the entire Royal Albert Hall was: ‘I’ve just lost my shoe...’ What’s the worst job you’ve done? Kicking-out time when I was a barmaid wasn’t fun, when you can’t get the drunks to go home. Burly, smelly men being drunk and obnoxious while you have to smile and serve them. If you could go back in time, where would you go? Inside The Great Gatsby novel or somewhere similar in Twenties America. I love Art Deco and adore places like The Savoy and Claridge’s. I’d be very happy as a flapper doing the Charleston at one of Gatsby’s parties. What’s your guiltiest pleasure? EastEnders. I just love it. Now I get why people love soaps so h d h l d

much, and why people used to come up to me all the time when I was in Coronation Street. I know people say it can be depressing but give me the Mitchells any day and I’m happy. Do I watch Corrie? No... that’s terrible, isn’t it? That’s what marrying a southerner and moving to London does for you. I am fickle, fickle, fickle. What’s your biggest regret? Not listening at school. What’s your most treasured possession? My cuddly E.T. The ExtraTerrestrial toy from when I was three. It’s careworn, the eyes are all scratched, but it’s sweet and reminds me of innocent days.

It was glorious, just the two of us – we ate and drank too much and had a giggle. The waitress came over and started telling me all the light options from the menu and I was thinking, ‘There’s suet pudding with gravy on the menu. Please stop telling me there’s fish!’ It was amazing. What are your best and worst character traits? I hope people would say I was interested in them. I hope it doesn’t come off i b i

Coinciding with International Jazz Day (30th April), The Savoy recently launched Jazz Fridays, a new weekly evening of musical entertainment in the Thames Foyer. Renowned as the vibrant heart of the hotel, the Thames Foyer is most famous for welcoming guests for one of the most impressive afternoon teas in London. Now, as day becomes night, the atmosphere in this magnificent glass domed atrium takes on a more sultry tone, transforming into a candlelit setting reminiscent of the 1920s jazz age. Performer, Nicola Emmanuelle brings her own contemporary and iconic style to the work and sound of the original jazz pioneers of the 30s, 40s and 50s, entertaining guests with renditions of some of the all time jazz greats. Accompanied by her talented pianist, Emmanuelle will play three sets beginning at 8pm and running through to 11pm every Friday for guests enjoying a relaxed evening of drinks, dinner or dessert and cocktail pairing in the Thames Foyer. The Temptation Wheel Dessert and Cocktail Pairing Menu is set to provide guests with a unique and indulgent dining experience featuring show stopping desserts created by The Savoy pastry team. Each dessert has been carefully matched with a handmade chocolate and uniquely blended cocktail and, on Friday’s, will provide the perfect accompaniment to jazz. Examples from the dessert and cocktail menu include: Chocolatl – unique textures of 63% Gran Blanco dark chocolate served in an edible coco pod Citrus on the Rock – tangy citrus foam, earl grey rocks, honey tuile, zesty grapefruit sorbet Southern Rose – fragrant, floral, fruity made from Grey Goose, rose, muscat, St Germain, raspberry syrup Winding Road – indulgent, intense, deep created from Bacardi Ocho, ruby port, coffee maple, chocolate bitters To book your Jazz Friday at The Savoy and to see the full Temptation Wheel menu, visit: www.fairmont.com/savoylondon/dining/thamesfoyer.

Feline great about lost cats reunited with owners I am going to slip in a line or two about my pal Eddie, who has after all been a part of my family now for 18 years!

Judi Spiers on Monday For the first time in the 154year history of Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, more cats are being found homes than dogs. Well that’s as maybe, but there are still people who will spit vitriol at the mere mention of cats. I suspect there is someone reading this now and saying, “Oh blimey she’s not going to go on about her cat is she?” and turning the page. Well, yes I am going to slip in a line or two about my pal Eddie who has after all been a part of my family now for 18 years! Men (including well-known journalists) can write about their dogs, what wonderful companions they are, how

they understand and look out for each other, but mention women and their cats... and heaven forbid the woman should be single… and we are immediately dubbed sad old dears! We were even banned from mentioning lost cats on the radio (OK, to be fair, dogs as well) for fear of sounding too “parochial”. It was OK to interview people who had written about their cats, like Caspar who caught the bus in Plymouth every day for four years or A Street Cat Named Bob or to have the wonderful Michael Morpurgo read about Kaspar Prince of Cats who lived in the Savoy but do

not mention missing cats! To management’s chagrin this is something I regularly ignored, another nail in my coffin perhaps? Having lost a cat in the past, I know how painful it is and when the owner is elderly, and perhaps alone, well it was more than I could bear to ignore their requests for me to put a shout out. I am pleased to say in the 15 years I was on air many furry friends were reunited with their owners. Cats really have even overtaken selfies online. More than 3.8 million cat photos and videos were shared on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter in

COMMENTARY

Hotels not dead yet IF a survey out today is to be believed, London’s high-end hotels are empty relics of a bygone age; like The Overlook Hotel in The Shining, inhabited only by the ghosts of their heyday. Travellers, we’re told, are staying away in droves, terrified at the prospects of Brexit and terrorism. But the feedback from upmarket operators today was that this apocalyptic stuff was simply nonsense. Demand, they say, actually remains pretty solid. What has happened, however, is that there’s more supply. Several new hotels have come onto the market with luxury rooms on offer: The Lanesborough and the Savoy are back up and running at up to £25,000 a night for starters. Furthermore, while occupancy may have dipped thanks to this new supply, prices remain solid. Nobody’s suggesting hotels are in record-breaking territory – that would be plain weird given the state of the economy – but, unlike at the Overlook, it’s not murder out there yet. @ArmitageJim
