JAN is a new restaurant on Battersea’s Nothcote Road, offering a taste of the Caspian and taking influence from Iran and Turkey. Food cooked in the medieval-style charcoal oven will be at the core of the menu, serving traditionally cooked bread, meat and vegetable dishes.

Negroni Trolley at 45 Park Lane

Bar 45 at 45 Park Lane has recently introduced the Negroni Trolley, which offers guests three variations on the cocktail. Customers at the bar can now enjoy The Classic Negroni, Vintage Negroni and Aged Negroni variations direct from the trolley.

Bar 45’s Aged Negroni was our favourite. The Negroni ingredients are placed in an American oak barrel for a month, which results in a smoother and fuller taste and adds ‘hints of vanilla and caramel’.

The Aged Negroni is priced at £25, The Vintage Negroni is £28 and the Bespoke Classics are £18.

The Ivy Café – Wimbledon Village & St John’s Wood

The Ivy Café is opening on 1 June in Wimbledon Village and in St John’s Wood in the Autumn. Both venues will offer a local, friendly and neighbourly environment, with accessible all-day dining for those living, working and shopping in the area.

The Ivy Café Wimbledon Village will have a Private Dining Room for up to 20 guests.

The Bloomsbury Club Bar

The Bloomsbury Club Bar will open this month on Great Russell Street.

Taking its influences from the 1920’s and 1930’s, The Bloomsbury Club Bar menu celebrates the golden age of cocktails with a mix of forgotten classics and new creations inspired by the Bloomsbury Set’s infamous members.

Housed in The Bloomsbury hotel, the bar is furnished with leather armchairs, atmospheric lighting and wall-to-wall bookshelves and has outdoor space.

Live music will be played from Wednesday – Saturday, 7pm – 10pm.
