I went to check I had everything I needed to share our festive outing with you all, then realised I hadn't even shared last month's yet! Brunch Club eleven took place on Sunday 19th November 2017 at Foxlow Clerkenwell, 69-73 St John... Continue Reading →

Brunch Club: Cornerstone Café, SE18
For the seventh Brunch Club, we used one of the dates we'd initially set aside for Duck & Waffle. This meant we gathered again on 29th April 2017 at Cornerstone Café, 9 Major Draper Street, London SE18 6GD, less than a week after our last meeting. Having visited plenty of fancy Central London venues, we... Continue Reading →
Brunch Club: Duck & Waffle, EC2N
As we were all pretty busy in March, the sixth Brunch Club gathering took place on 23rd April 2017 at Duck & Waffle, 110 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4AY. This was something that we were all very much looking forward to and had to be booked months in advance. At the start of the year we'd... Continue Reading →
Brunch Club: Dishoom, N1C
The fifth Brunch Club gathering took place on 19th February 2017 at Dishoom King's Cross, 5 Stable Street, London N1C 4AB. This was originally booked for a gathering in 2016 but, as only three out of four Brunch Clubbers were in attendance that day, we decided to re-book and review it in 2017. We were...

Brunch Club: The Table, SE1
The second Brunch Club gathering took place without one of the core members, so we decided to strike that one from the list and visit again all together in 2017. The second official meeting, with everyone present, took place on 17th September 2016 at The Table, 83 Southwark Street, London, SE1 0HX. Some of us... Continue Reading →
Brunch Club: Village East, SE1
As mentioned in the introductory post last week, my friend Eleanor is a massive fan of brunch and, after having several conversations with friends over the merits of a meal that treats waffles as a staple, she decided to get a gang together last year for the purpose of exploring some of London's many excellent...

Public holidays are great for doing things but, with the inevitable queues involved when going away or talking part in any sort of activity whilst the rest of the... Continue Reading →
