APRIL NEWSLETTER '24
March has been a whirlwind of a month, from highs on the slopes to low-lit pubs and pints and we’re not ready to let go of the latter just yet, even if the clocks changing did give us the promise of lighter evenings. Nope we’ve still got a few more snug spots in us before we make the transition to wide open rooftops. Here’s where we’ve enjoyed cosying up last month and hopefully they can help us combat the never-ending April showers.
Where we've eaten
So good we’ve visited on multiple occasions this month. The Pelican combines a classic yet elevated pub aesthetic with a certified destination restaurant that is manned by ex-Quo Vadis head chef. The interiors are both cosy and spacious with rustic wood furnishings, worn leather banquettes and a roaring fireplace balancing out the double-height ceilings and windows. Firmly on our roster for an impromptu glass of wine and bar snacks - order the mince on toast and monkfish scampi - or for a long lunch booking to indulge in one of their iconic pies
Where we've stayed
We started last month in Europe's highest ski resort for a few days of spring skiing, positioned in a prime location with ski in, ski out access, this property's interiors are a modern take on a vintage 70’s theme with extra large beds, perfect to crawl into post aprés, and mountain peak bedroom views. However, the real star of the show is the hotel's large outdoor terrace bar & restaurant. Hosting regular aprés parties sponsored by brands like Aperol, this spot has uninterrupted views of the snow-capped mountains and is the perfect afternoon sun trap.

Where's we've got our eye on
If you’ve been following us for a while you’ll notice we can’t stop harping on about Ducksoup, an intimate small plates restaurant in Soho, and Little Duck The Picklery in Dalston, which is still one of our favourite neighbourhood secrets, so when the same team announces the arrival of another little sister Camille, you run you don’t walk. Camille satisfies our aesthetic needs with steel-top tables, linen cafe curtains and wooden bistro chairs and set in Borough Market, it’s the perfect backdrop to enjoy its British produce-led menu with the cooking and daily-changing wine list taking inspiration from our Gallic neighbours.
