The Berkeley Beach Huts at The Berkeley Hotel, London

From 12 April 2021
Open from Monday-Sunday at 7.30-10.30am for breakfast, from noon for all day dining until late (last sitting 9.30pm)

Popping up at the Berkeley hotel for the summer are five rainbow coloured beach huts, inspired by iconic British seaside towns from Whitstable to Padstow. Expect rustic wooden tables, nautical decor and retro seaside classics. There’s also terrace and countertop dining for parties of less than six.

Unsurprisingly seafood takes centre stage: small sharing plates include crab on sourdough, baked scallops, grilled langoustine and freshly-shucked oysters. Mains are equally hearty: fish and chips with a 5-star twist and mussels in white wine sauce are notable highlights. But there are also meaty options to savour, in particular the tomahawk steak with chimichurri sauce. To finish order the ‘Gourmet 99’, traditional soft serve vanilla ice cream cones with lashings of flakes and toppings.

Breakfast-goers should try the ‘seaside benedict’ or Scottish smoked salmon flatbread with caviar, while those booked in for lunch should look to the ultra-decadent brioche lobster rolls.

Drinks-wise, order marine-inspired cocktails such as the zesty ‘Sailor Sour’ to maximise the immersive seaside experience. There’s also cherry or orange shandy if you’re feeling brave.

With oodles of charm and Riviera glamour, the Berkeley Beach Huts are a magnificent celebration of the Great British Staycation. Just be prepared to eat late — tables are booking fast.

The Macallan Manor House at Rosewood London

From 12 April 2021
Open from 12pm-10pm, Monday-Saturday, 12pm-9.30pm on Sundays

The Rosewood’s spectacular Edwardian courtyard has been transformed into a Scottish-inspired riverside retreat, complete with soft wildflowers, delicate Sottish heathers and irises, luscious foliage and a flower-draped canopy. Taking inspiration from the Speyside home of The Macallan Estate, producers of the world renowned Macallan whisky, Rosewood’s Macallan Manor House is the ultimate summer oasis.

Savour Macallan whisky cocktails while feasting on delicious seasonal plates, including gin cured salmon, griddled prawns with lemon and garlic butter and lamb rump with Jersey royals. If you’re feeling adventurous, try one of the two gastronomic dishes conceived in collaboration with the Roca Brothers that encapsulate ‘the essence, aroma and flavour of the capital.’ For pudding, the Paris-Brest with salted caramel and praline comes highly recommended.

Away from the madding crowds, this alfresco terrace brings a taste of the Scottish Highlands to the heart of London. You’ll feel transported in mind and spirit in no time!

Objects Ocean co-ordinate, Project Zero

Turning the tide. In its commitment to protecting and restoring the ocean, global movement Project Zero has marked Earth Day (22 April) with a new campaign inviting the public to adopt or gift their own ocean co-ordinate. Available in 1km2, 10 km2 or 100km2 in the Arctic, Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans, each adopter (already among them is ambassador Cara Delevingne) will receive their own co-ordinate to post on social media with name, longitude and latitude. The campaign is also accompanied by a special, limited-edition T-shirt emblazoned with the words ‘Ours to Solve’ – a reminder for us to take ownership and responsibility in engaging with ocean-friendly behaviours. Time to make waves and save the big blue.
