EAT:

|
|
EAT:
The Richmond
|
|
|
| It’s Good Friday! So go for a languid seafood brunch at Rex & Mariano. Affordable but quality seafood is the name of the game here – go all in. Start with oysters, ceviche, carpaccio and tartare before getting stuck into the grill menu: think red salty prawns carb cakes, and hot buttered mussels. Don’t skimp on the sides. |
|
Sticking to seafood for dinner? New Hackney spot The Richmond is our new go-to for just that. Their new raw bar is complete with, once again, all the usual suspects of oysters, carpaccios, prawns, ceviche… the list goes on. Or, for those who want a more traditional main meal, try the Nduja-spiced seafood stew. Wash it all down with fast-flowing negronis on tap. |

★★★★★ “Unlike anything you will have experienced before.
1927 is officially the sexiest theatre company in town.” - Evening Standard
|
|
|
Direct from a sensational season at the Young Vic, Golem, created by 1927 transfers to the West End in two weeks for a strictly limited run this April and May. This groundbreaking production is ‘Funny, unsettling, unforgettable’ (Times) and ‘the most original production in London’ (Sunday Express).
With stunningly original animation, entrancing music and live performance, Golem explores one of the great questions of the modern world - do we control technology, or does it control us? |

PARTY:
Livin' Proof Easter Special
|
|
|
| Easter Sunday… more food. The new Ivy Chelsea Garden comes up trumps with its alfresco seating. It’s the biggest outdoor dining spot in London, so they say – and it is indeed impressive. The menu covers everything from breakfast pastries to a full English and eggs done all ways; at 11.30am, the all day menu kicks in (crispy duck salad, lobster rigatoni bake, suckling pig belly…). |
|
Now for a hip hop blow out with Livin’ Proof and Nobody’s Business at the Bussey Building. Although we’re not sure who the special guests are yet, the collective have brought over everyone from A$AP ROCKY to Dom Kennedy and Alchemist, so expect the usual explosive vibes. Tickets are on fourth release – be quick. |

| For those who want to stray from the usual Easter egg hunt, try Brindisa’s take on the holiday. First stop, the Brindisa website for instructions to start the trail around London. Prizes include a Tarta de Santiago (traditional Spanish almond cake), Rabitos royal figs (chewy figs from Extemadura with brandy truffle cream and covered in dark chocolate) and Cigarrillo biscuits (Crunchy, moreish, buttery biscuits). Good luck. |
