As we're always getting asked which are our favourite brunch spots, to celebrate our first three years of brunching together we decided to go back through all our old reviews and select the ones we enjoyed the most. After much discussion, we decided that the best way to do this was to come up with... Continue Reading →
Chiltern Firehouse, W1U
When we realised that the April gathering of Brunch Club would be our third anniversary of brunching together, we knew we had to book somewhere special. And so, on Sunday 14th April 2019, we headed to Chiltern Firehouse, 1 Chiltern Street, Marylebone, London W1U 7PA where we had booked a table to treat ourselves to... Continue Reading →
The Breakfast Club, E14
We were initially planning on going to the new IKEA in Greenwich for our March Brunch Club outing, but reports of huge queues for food in the cafe left us rethinking our plans. On a whim we decided to head to Canary Wharf and so, on Saturday 16th March 2019, we met up at The... Continue Reading →
Arepa & Co, E2
The first Brunch Club gathering of 2019 was on Sunday 10th February at Arepa & Co, 254 Paradise Row, London E2 9LE. We hadn't met up in far too long, and the brunch menu here is something quite different, so we were all excited to get together in Bethnal Green and celebrate our move to... Continue Reading →
Niche, EC1R
When we had this Brunch Club gathering on Sunday 25th November 2018, it ended up being a 'mini' version as our beloved Eleanor was sadly unwell and couldn't join us. In the past we have decided not to review places when we don't have all four brunch clubbers in attendance, but we have decided to... Continue Reading →

Our first post-summer outing took place on Sunday 30th September 2018 at The Good Egg, Ground Floor Kingly Court, Kingly Street, London W1B 5PW and they don't... Continue Reading →
Review: Lolo Brow Attention Seeker, at Underbelly Festival
Back in 2013, I celebrated a decade of blogging with an awards ceremony. One of the winners of those awards - voted for by this blog's readers and my social media followers - was the incomparable Lolo Brow. In the five years since then, Lolo has: produced Cabaret Derangium; terrified audiences with her toxic masculinity... Continue Reading →
Review: House of Burlesque Revue at the Underbelly Festival
I've had a fondness for burlesque for a decade now. The costumes, movements, and facial expressions all help to tell a story, and the best acts are often the ones that do something the audience doesn't expect. I've always preferred a little subversion to a lot of 'glitter tits', and thankfully there are plenty of... Continue Reading →
Brunch Club: Christopher’s, WC2E
Brunch Club's most recent adventure (I think we've stopped numbering them now, as there have been a lot!) took place on Sunday 22nd July 2018 in hot sunny central London, at Christopher's, 18 Wellington Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7DD. After an attempt to plan brunch in Walthamstow with mixed results (not everyone could make... Continue Reading →
