I’ve been to many high teas in my time, but there’s none that delight and amaze in quite the way that the Sanderson’s Alice In Wonderland high tea does. Located in central London, the Sanderson Hotel offers a whimsical escape from everyday life with it’s unique high tea themed around Lewis Carroll’s beloved story about…

Now Reopened: Dinerama Shoreditch Street Food
A few weeks ago Dinerama, the newest Shoreditch street food location, went up in a blaze of fire that could be seen miles away. Luckily ‘No Hipsters Were Harmed’ to quote the controversial Tweet from the London fire services. But that ill considered Tweet now rings true, Dinerama has reopened and it’s looks like the hipsters…
Brunch At Blixen Spitalfields
Having lived next to Old Spitalfields Markets for some time I was surprised when Blixen opened earlier this year. Not surprised by Blixen itself, but by the fact I have never noticed there was a space big enough for a restaurant in a key area of the market. I strain my memory to recall what…
100 Years Of Campari #rediscoverred
Campari are celebrating their hundredth anniversary with a series of events in Shoreditch this weekend. There’s the opportunity to grab not one but two free cocktails at the Rediscover Red Gallery at 9 Kingsland Road.

Hot Dogs At Herman Ze German
I’m about three years too late to London’s hot dog craze. The humble sausage has since been replaced by sliders, steam buns, Five Guys, fried chicken, Asian fried chicken, raw food, kale, quinoa, fried chicken again and oh so many other short lived trends. I’ll admit when hot dog mania was at it’s peak I…
Just Opened: House Of Peroni Pop-Up Brick Lane
Newly opened on Brick Lane is the latest pop-up to occupy the Truman Brewery Space – The House Of Peroni. After one visit I’m sold, iconic Italian beer brand Peroni have used the huge warehouse space spectacularly to create a Italian cocktail hour worthy of stylish Milan. The whole area has been filled with huge…
January Diet Resolutions With M
It’s incredibly difficult for a foodie blogger to stay thin without resorting to ill advised bulimia. Post Christmas is the most difficult time to fit into one’s clothes, so I’ve turned to a nifty little app called My Fitness Pal (FREE) which counts calories and scans bar-codes. This app has allowed me a platry 1200 calories…
EVENT: Mr Fogg Meets Africa
The International Foodie is all about the combined joys of travel and food and how an eating experience is such a key element of enjoying other cultures. With that in mind an upcoming event at Mr Foggs caught my eye. Mr Fogg has teamed up with fellow explorer, Levison Wood, for an evening talking about his most…
Moretti Gran Tour London
Last weekend I had a taste of Italy in my own East London backyard, or back Alley in this case. The Moretti Gran Tour London is back after a successful summer run with “The Winter Edition” at The Lofts. “The Lofts” is PR speak for empty and hard to find warehouse space, but this makes the perfect…
The Kerouac Shack
Just when I thought I was over the pop-up phenomenon they went and reinvented themselves, as pop-up 2:0. This new phase is all about interactive experiences, as The Kerouac Shack demonstrated with an evening of 50’s Americana, beat poetry and jives. Held in a working petrol station in Kentish Town (think strict smoking policy and…
