If you’re looking to get out of London for the bank holiday, Aynho Park might be the destination to put into your sat nav. A 90-minute drive from the capital, this 17th-century country estate near Banbury has been taken over by RH, a top-end American design retailer. As well as showcasing some luxe homewares, the historic venue is also now home to The Orangery, a live-fire restaurant offering dishes like wood-grilled avocado with caviar and wagyu ribeye.

From Thursday 28th March, west London favourite Crisp Pizza is popping up in east London. It’s joined forces with Brat x Climpson’s Arch boss Tomos Parry to create a £50pp menu featuring a choice of two New York-style pies – we like the sound of the one with Brat's house-made chorizo and spring vegetables. Also included are snacks, sides and tiramisu. To drink, you’ll have a range of natural and low-intervention options courtesy of Gergovie Wines, and there will be a mezcal hut in the front courtyard offering shots and verdita chasers.

On the back of their new compilation album Rebel Diamonds, indie-rock gods The Killers have announced UK tour dates, including big arena shows in Dublin, Manchester, Glasgow and London. There are still tickets if you fancy catching the chart-topping Las Vegas rockers – known for hits like Mr Brightside and Smile Like You Mean It – at the O2.

Bébé Bob, the little sister of Bob Bob Ricard, has introduced ‘Landais’ vodka chicken nuggets to its menu. Known for its selection of vodka served at -18ºC, the restaurant is making its nugget batter with vodka instead of water, resulting in a crisper, lighter crunch. The meat comes from Gascony’s Arnaud Tauzin, which has been in business since the 19th century. The dish is served at lunch only, alongside gochujang mayonnaise, a side of fries and a winter leaf salad. We’d add it to a wider meal – the restaurant’s hero dishes include anchovy egg mayonnaise, and prawn cocktail with cognac marie rose sauce.

Starting this week, the photographer will be showcasing his work at Bang & Olufsen’s Mayfair store. The spot, with the launch of its music lates, has become a cultural hub as of late, and this exclusive month-long residency with the artist is just the beginning. Watch this space...
