New Year’s Eve in Iceland

read more

New Year’s Eve need not be over rated, anti-climatic and overpriced. Having spent the last six years in different cities, from London, to Orlando, Las Vegas, New York and Abu Dhabi, we love finding a new destination to enjoy the celebrations of New Years Eve. To ring in 2016 we picked Iceland. Iceland has to be one of […]

Fire & Ice -The Best of Iceland

read more

A trip to Iceland was booked slightly naively, solely to hunt for the Northern Lights. Then realisation dawned that if we didn’t see them it would be a pretty disastrous trip. Fortunately Iceland has so much more to offer, than just the Northern Lights, so much so, we almost forgot they were the sole purpose […]

Ringing in the New Year, 2015, in New York was amazing. The infamous Ball Drop has to be the place to be in Manhattan on New Year’s Eve. It can be slightly overwhelming trying to figure out the logistics of being in the heart of it all. One million people packed into Time’s Square last […]

Salon Du Chocolat Chocolate Show, Olympia London

Salon Du Chocolat Chocolate Show, Olympia London

Events Food & Drink

A chocolate show has to be a chocolate lover’s dream come true. With chocolate literally available on tap by Venchi, it was chocolate heaven. We were spoilt for choice with artisan delights from across the globe. Paul A Young’s salted caramel brownies are all the rage. The layers of ribbons of salted caramel on a moist brownie with a marvellous hot molten chocolate middle, are pure perfection. Chocolate has come a long way, with printed artisan chocolates and chocolate sculptures. 3D chocolate printers by Choc Edge seem to be the future for chocolate creations. With Bad Brownie, Rococo Chocolate and award winning The Highland Chocolatier, we were rather spoilt for choice. And then we spotted the perfect solution, Cocoa Runners, chocolate subscription service. We couldn’t resist and are rather excited about receiving our selection of artisan chocolates in the post every month, and think this would make a great gift. With tasting corners and live theatre the Chocolate Show was cocoa filled fun. The showstopper had to be the Chocolate Fashion Show, with dresses good enough to eat.

A night at The Trading House

A night at The Trading House

Celebrations Food & Drink

Behind a rather ordinary façade, inside The Trading House, it’s unexpectedly quirky. The restaurant is rather intriguing, stylish and unique. The dark wood panelled room is ornate, adorned with the most beautiful lights and interesting murials on the wall, and a variety of stuffed animals. The scene set is that of exotic trade and travel and leaves one expecatant of an interesting culinary journey. Whilst there’s a traditional feel to the restaurant there is modern vibe, with lovely live music, which set the tone for the evening. As the night went on the DJ took over and played some great classics, and the restaurant and bar were buzzing with city folk. Whilst muddling through the menu, we nibbled on the chipolata and olives which arrived promptly. The refreshing peach and ginger mojito was the perfect choice for a cool, summery drink. The menu is an interesting assortment of hearty, comfort food from across the globe. Starters were our favourite, especially the crusty roll stuffed bursting with a hot, creamy, cheesy truffle mushroom centre. The Calamari served with a charred lemon was light and crispy and cooked to perfection. The pulled pork burger topped with jalapenos was packed full of juiciness and spiciness. The Trading House is famous for their hanging kebabs so we had to try it out.The […]

Alice in Wonderland Themed Party

Alice in Wonderland Themed Party

Celebrations Weddings

Alice in Wonderland has to be our all time favourite theme for a memorable celebration. It’s ideal for a wedding, birthday party or even a baby shower. We have some simple ideas to put on a magical Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. Create a table that will mesmerise and immerse your guests. Coloured papers straws in old fashioned, glass milk bottles are a nice way to serve a fruit punch to guests. Add little labels with “Drink Me” or use little chalk boards. Detail the bottles with handcrafted butterflies. Talking Tables have a gorgeous collection of Truly Alice plates, platters, detailed napkins and cute tea cups and saucers and adorable mini cake dome stands. The range has a floral, and sophisticated vintage look and is ever so pretty. Amongst cake stands for the food, the table requires dressing with an assortment of props. Our favourite has to be the miniature, purple door with fairy dust from The Magic Door Store. This is a charming, adorable, detailed fairy door which adds a beautiful touch to the table. For a child this will be a door they can keep in their room and always remember their magical party, and a door for the fairies to come a visit. Decorating the table […]
