MR LAWRENCE




On Saturday Ben & I headed over to Brockley Market for a delicious shredded Suffolk chicken with sticky gooseberry wrap from Mike & Ollie. We were then accompanied by the fabulous Gisela Torres, cycling in convey down the road to cool off at Mr Lawrence's.

Mr Lawrence's has been going for over 20 years and until recently also had the wine merchant shop next door. You can sometimes find them at Forest Hill Food Fair selling French wines and London Craft beers, alternatively you can order online here.


They do have a small, but perfectly formed food menu if you fancied a nibble. We opted for a bowl of olives. Proper decent olives they were at that! 


We spent the rest of the afternoon listening, sharing stories & catching up over a few chilled glasses of champagne. I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday.



JAMIE'S ITALIAN GATWICK AIRPORT




I have just got back from a fabulous holiday with my mum. A girls getaway to catch up, relax and get some well needed sunshine. Carvoeiro in the Algarve was our destination.

Flying from Gatwick, North Terminal we arrived at 5.40am. After a mooch about the duty free and buying a bottle of the obligatory perfume, we went for some brekkie at Jamie's Italian.


Is 6.30am to early for a champagne breakfast? Well we thought not.



A great way to start the day and an even better way to begin a summer holiday!



I went for the eggs bennedict with portobello mushrooms on a wholemeal muffin. 



Mum went for the classic version with smoked salmon. 

I have to say it was delicious! I usually find the hollandise sauce too rich however the sauce was perfect and not overpowering. Eggs beautifully poached balanced on a mushroom pâté with sliced mushrooms on the side. Highly recommend you go there if flying out!
