TOMORROW
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant

Whilst we all wait for the iPad to drop in the UK, Regent Street’s Apple Shop are determined to keep us entertained in the mean time with a series of in–store appearances by the likes of The Mighty Boosh and stars of The Office; Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. They’ll be discussing their first feature film, Cemetery Junction, and revealing the secrets of successful comedy – but then again, there’s probably an app for that too.

9th April, 5pm, Apple Store, 235 Regent Street, W1B 2EL, Free.

SHOP
Bugs at Dover Street Market

Nothing says Summer like the slow onslaught of creepy crawlies and flying beasties that come out to play at the slightest hint of heat. So if you can’t beat them, fool them into a false sense of sisterhood with Ileana Makri’s Bug Collection of jewellery. Taking inspiration from the iridescent beetles of her native Greece, her necklaces, pendants and earrings come in multicoloured stones that’ll dazzle even the hardiest fire–ant.

Available in the Ground Floor Jewellery Space.
17-18 Dover Street, W1S 4LT.

BOOK AHEAD
Breakfast Club at The School of Life

It’s almost impossible to pin down a place at any of the School of Life sessions, so we’re giving you a timely heads up to their latest talks. Start the day the right way with some philosophical conversation, contemplation, and a side of eggs at The Breakfast Club series featuring Robert Rowland Smith and Mark Vernon. Molly Ringwald probably won’t be making an appearance, but what did we really learn from her adolescent agony anyway?

70 Marchmont Street, WC1N 1AB. Every second Wednesday morning starting 14th April. 7:30am-8:30am. £15.

This week’s hottest foodie destination

101 Pimlico Road 
101 Pimlico Road, SW1 8PH – 0207 730 0202

Location
In an increasingly gourmet-friendly part of Pimlico – The Orange (from the boys behind Thomas Cubbitt) and chocolatier William Curley have also recently opened nearby.

Vibe
Young gun owners Will Guess (24) and chef Keith Goddard (29), who previously worked under Tom Aiken, are bursting with passion about good quality food. All the meat is from high-class butcher O’Shea’s and, this being the first restaurant site to ever serve truffles in London back in the Seventies, theirs are sourced from the original supplier.

Flavours
With a pie, a burger (Black Angus or rose veal which has quite a following) and cote de boeuf (for two) always on the menu, there are also plenty of lighter choices plus some fine fishy items like spicy deep fried whitebait with lemon aioli and roast cod with spinach, black pudding, parsley and chili.

Décor
Less is more here – you don’t want to scare off the locals – so the modest-sized room has been kept simple, light and neutral. Reminiscent of Kensington Place, back in the day.

Upshot
A combination of simple and slightly posh nosh brought up to date by Goddard’s expert touch. A good bet for a tranquil set lunch before you hit the King’s Road or somewhere to take the parents in the evening before a spot of culture at The Royal Court.
