Wondering what to do this weekend? SLMan has you covered. From a Sunday lunch out to a festive rooftop terrace, here’s what to get stuck into…

MEET YOUR MATES SOMEWHERE WARM: Bottomless Sunday Lunch At XR

Head to Marylebone’s XR for a boozy bottomless Sunday lunch. Available from 11.30am to 3pm, take a seat with your household or dine alfresco with up to five others on its heated, covered terrace. Diners can tuck into 45-day dry-aged beef sirloin roast (or a cauliflower main) with all the trimmings, including a Yorkshire pudding, creamy cauliflower cheese, glazed carrots and parsnips, roasted shallots, and crispy roast potatoes with homemade gravy. Go all out and add bottomless Moët & Chandon, Asahi beer or a selection of cocktails for two-and-a-half hours for an extra £50 a head.

LISTEN TO SOMETHING NEW: Secure The Bag 2 By AJ Tracey

Almost two years on from his last album, AJ Tracey dropped a surprise EP last week. As the name suggests, Secure The Bag 2 is the second in his series of mixtapes. This one’s largely a solo effort, featuring only a collaboration with British rapper Slowthai. Across its nine upbeat tracks, grime fans will enjoy Tracey’s considered lyrics and impressive flow that feels more confident than ever.
