Brumus Bar & Restaurant at Haymarket Hotel has launched a new music night dedicated to live jazz music and martinis. From 6-7.30pm every Thursday night (excluding Thursday 21st July), you can listen to jazz from the likes of singer-songwriter Georgia Chanel and renditions of Joe Guy’s trumpet solos. At the same time, sample martinis from the new menu – we recommend the ‘Fifty Fifty’, which is made with Malfi gin, Noilly Prat, orange bitters and lemon.

Regular SLMan readers will know how much we rate Love Brand & Co’s swimwear and holiday essentials, so we were excited to hear the sustainable brand has now launched a pop-up on St Christopher’s Place in the West End. Shoppers can browse the new collection of swimming shorts and resortwear, and shop holiday essentials like linen shirts, polos and luggage – we’ve got our eye on the printed swimming trunks.

On Wednesday 13th July from 6pm, BBQ master and food writer Genevieve Taylor is hosting an open-fire cooking night at Two Tribes’ Campfire taproom in King’s Cross. Diners can try new dishes from her book Seared, like smoky chicken burgers with red slaw; tandoori venison kebabs with flatbreads, salad, mint yogurt dressing, date and coriander chutney; steak and chips butties with mustard mayo and watercress; and jerk-spiced plantain and halloumi. Wash yours down with a couple of ice cold Two Tribes beer – we rate its classic Session IPA. DJ Charles Webster will set the vibe on the deck and you ask Genevieve to sign a copy of her book.
