Wondering what to do this weekend? SLMan has you covered. From new dining options to a big-name charity art auction, here’s what to get stuck into…

TRY A GREAT SANDWICH

Trade

Trade is now doing dinner at its Islington and Shoreditch sites. Known for epic sandwiches filled with cured meats, pickles and zingy sauces, Trade’s new menu features some soon-to-be-classics: the ‘Reuben’ sandwich with double pastrami, sauerkraut and Trade sauce on East End rye bread; the ‘Peanut Pork Bun’ with pork belly, peanuts, cucumber and hoisin dressing; and the ‘Cuban Club’ with smoked turkey, ham, Swiss cheese and cranberry sauce. Add on skinny fries and grilled cornbread, then wash it all down with a couple of craft beers.

DITCH THE WEEKEND PAPERS

Bordain: In Stories

Anthony Bourdain left quite the legacy when he died in 2018. Having dedicated himself to travelling the world (and eating nearly everything along the way) the celebrity chef told new stories about people across the globe through food. In this book, Laurie Woolever – his longtime assistant – talks to nearly 100 people, including Bourdain’s closest friends and colleagues, who share the stories of his life and discuss what made him so remarkable.
