Grab A Drink:
Prelude By Oriole
Three-month pop-up Prelude by Oriole opened its doors in The Yards last week. From the minds behind great boltholes like Bar Swift and Nightjar, Prelude paves the way for a new permanent place coming this summer. Alongside the usual outstanding cocktails, there’s an à la carte menu featuring dishes like beef tartare sando, and duck with orange mole. Prelude isn’t quite as late night as its older siblings – it’s open ’til 11pm, Wednesday to Saturday, with a couple of live piano sets each night.

See Some Art:
London Original Print Fair
From Thursday to Sunday this week, London’s biggest and brightest print fair is back at Somerset House. Get up close to pieces from all-time names like Hockney and Picasso. Check out new works from Brit artists like Marc Quinn and Grayson. Or go all in and buy pieces from some of the next-gen talent on display.
Somerset House, Covent Garden, WC2R 1LA; 21st-24th March
Book Ahead:
Roast at Sucre
The Easter bank holiday is fast approaching, so it’s time to lock in those reservations. New for that weekend, Soho’s Sucre is launching its new offering, an Argentinian-inspired open-fire cooked roast. Served from 12pm-4pm across the weekend, we can think of few things better than a tender beef joint cooked over charcoal and wood embers.

Celebrate Iftar:
The Gantry Hotel
Launching this Saturday (23rd March), The Gantry in Stratford has collaborated with cult-favourite British Afghan smokehouse Cue Point Ldn for an Iftar Saturday Supper Club series. Coinciding with Ramadan and the Solar New Year, the duo will be infusing quintessential British classics and Afghan flavour profiles. Over the next three weekends at the luxe hotel’s restaurant Union Social, diners can break their fast with sharing BBQ dishes of oak-smoked beef ribs and chicken, served alongside unami sides like cheesy baked potato mash in saffron butter and smoked leeks with pomegranate molasses dressing.

Get Date Night Right:
TT
TT, formerly TT Liquor, unveils a new restaurant this Friday. Led by chef Sam Lone – formerly of Oren and The Palomar – guests can enjoy specials like smoked ox cheek croquettes and barbecued mackerel. The space is worthy of the menu too – TT is a housed in a former Victorian police station and the rooftop restaurant, complete with outdoor grill, is perfect for date night.
