New Year’s Eve in Iceland

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

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 […]

London’s Top New Attraction: ArcelorMittal Orbit

9 September 2016

Events

Nestled amongst the skyscrapers of Stratford, stands proud the ArcelorMittal Orbit designed by Sir Anish Kapoor. The tall, bright red helical structure has become an established part of the Stratford skyline since its installation by renowned artist Carsten Höller in the run up to the Olympics in 2012. The ArcelorMittal Orbit holds the title of Britain’s largest sculpture and excitingly has been updated to house the world’s tallest and longest tunnel slide. As one gets closer to the Orbit, the sheer scale of the art piece and slide dawns. Just looking up will make you dizzy. So although you could opt to climb over four hundred steps, fortunately there’s a lift to the top. The views of London from the top are breath-taking. With unprecedented views of the Shard, the tall skyscrapers of Canary Wharf and West Ham United football club in the adjacent London Stadium. The air of excitement amongst those eagerly waiting to go down the slide is undeniable. Once padded up with elbow protectors and not so glamorous helmets, it’s time to go down the slide. It’s a relief to hear that nobody has ever got stuck in the slide; it is supposedly impossible! With an overwhelming […] ShareClick to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)

The Mermaid, London

Celebrations Events Food & Drink Weddings

Concierge Angel were rather excited to be invited to the London venue, “The Mermaid,” to assist caterer’s, Create, finalise their seasonal Spring/Summer menu. With the sun beaming over the river, the fabulous feast served in the upper River Rooms was impressive. Canapés can only be described as little works of art. The lemon ceviche scallop sprinkled with desiccated coconut, and a hint of fresh, zesty mango was delightful, with a lovely crunch from the sesame tuille. The head chef’s pastry background, was clearly evident from the delicate arrangement of creamy goat’s cheese on a crisp toast, topped with a torched fig. The mouth-watering, bite-size duck topped with mango salsa was a perfect balance of flavours. The warm sea bass with rock salt, on a bed of lemon infused aioli was rather delicious. The platter of appetisers was a pleasure to tuck into. The unique, gourmet take on the fish and chips, of poached Pollok served with crushed new potatoes and fish crackling was appetising. The parmesan crème brulee served with horseradish, pickled beetroot and apple was a rich palate cleanser. The succulent free range chicken with wild mushrooms drizzled in a light madeira jus was a divine, substantial appetiser. The three main courses were indulgent. Charred bavette, with a tarragon and lemon jus served with fondant potato and Jacobs ladder croquette was hearty and wholesome. The light gnocchi tossed in a […] ShareClick to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)

6 February 2017

Celebrations Events Food & Drink

The beautiful 65 acres of Chiswick House & Gardens, have been illuminated for the Magical Lantern Festival for the second year running. The immersive trail through the lush gardens, by night is rather magnificent. The Magical Lantern Festival is a lovely collection of giant lanterns embracing art, heritage and culture, whilst celebrating the Chinese New Year of the Rooster. It’s rather exciting to “Explore The Silk Road,” with the lanterns representing the route of trade and culture from Europe to Ancient China.From London through Europe, Central Asia, Arabia, Egypt, Persia, India and Ancient China there’s over fifty larger than life lantern installations. There’s a sense of tranquillity, walking through the gardens on a crisp night. Traipsing through the mud, is well worth it for the impressive installations. The English heritage Grade I listed gardens are interspersed with water features, and the reflections onto the water are stunning. The recreated Forbidden City is by far the most impressive installation. It can get fairly busy, as crowds are flocking from all over, to get a look in at the west London display. There’s a sweet aroma of marshmallows being toasted as you get halfway through. And if you find you are able to resist temptation at the marshmallows, the hot churros […] ShareClick to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)
