SLMan has you covered. From a new bagel hotspot to a vineyard-based restaurant, here’s what to get stuck into… Image: The Wildmoor Experience At Wilderness Reserve ## Treat Yourself ### Ixchel Sunday Roast Ixchel, the Mexican restaurant and tequila bar on the Kings Road, is making its play with the city’s first Mexican-style Sunday roast – a bold, flavour-packed twist on the tradition, perfected by chef Ximena and her team. Take your pick: braised lamb shank, half-grilled chicken adobado or a mighty 450g T-bone steak marinated in chilli and coriander – perfect for sharing. Vegetarians are covered with roasted cauliflower in a rich vegetable jus with salsa macha. Every dish comes fully loaded with crispy potatoes, roasted vegetables, queso fundido and mini corn jalapeño bread – because Sundays deserve nothing less. *33H King's Road, Chelsea, SW3 4LX* Visit [IxchelLondon.com](https://www.ixchellondon.com/) [ ![Ixchel Sunday Roast](https://media.slman.com/88n1d0BG-hjCV-RT7d4bZ0XHS8c=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F02%2Fsl-man-wtdtw-ixchel.jpg) ](https://www.ixchellondon.com/) Ixchel Sunday Roast ## Grab A Bite ### Kuro Bagels The team behind Kuro Bakery and Kuro Coffee are back with their latest venture. Now open in Notting Hill, Kuro Bagels is serving up artisan bagels in store or via Deliveroo. The menu spans classic deli-style fillings to bold new twists – think The Italian (mortadella, salami, provolone, zesty vinaigrette), a PB&J throwback, and sausage, egg and cheese given a bagel upgrade. *5 Hillgate Street, Notting Hill, W8 7SP* Visit [Kuro-London.com](http://kuro-london.com) ## Get Out Of Town ### Hambledon Wine Estate Just 90 minutes from London, in the South Downs, the Restaurant at Hambledon Wine Estate is now open – bringing fine dining to England’s oldest commercial vineyard. Helmed by Nick Edgar (Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons), its menu champions seasonal produce, homegrown ingredients and the best from local farms. In a restored barn, with vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams and sweeping vineyard views, the Restaurant is the ideal setting for a long, indulgent lunch. Beyond dining, there are expert-led wine-tasting sessions available to book. *Hambledon Vineyard, East Street, Hambledon, Hampshire, PO7 4RY* Visit [HambledonVineyard.co.uk](https://hambledonvineyard.co.uk/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAp4O8BhAkEiwAqv2UqLJVrPz3jyOqZG0qJoXybdNmf_OwXAo0jGLdO_caIAtWNaE0kvzS6xoCFycQAvD_BwE) [ ![Hambledon Wine Estate ](https://media.slman.com/-VzHW_j3WfGLzrKC2qQ9DKKsLOw=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F02%2Fsl-man-wtdtw-hambledon-vineyard.jpg) ](https://hambledonvineyard.co.uk/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAp4O8BhAkEiwAqv2UqLJVrPz3jyOqZG0qJoXybdNmf_OwXAo0jGLdO_caIAtWNaE0kvzS6xoCFycQAvD_BwE) Hambledon Wine Estate ## See Some Live Music ### Unchained Melodies: A Valentine's Day Duo New venue DasDas Box is putting on live music, stand-up and open mic nights throughout January and February.

Each month, a different ‘beast’ takes the spotlight, with a rotating cut featured on the Beast Board. February kicks off with Aberdeen-Cross beef from Suffolk’s Raynham Estate, with five expertly chosen cuts, including chargrilled rump, oxtail ragout and Korean-spiced onglet (£59 for two). March shifts to Blythburgh pork, showcasing the whole animal with dishes like pig head croquettes and pork collar kebabs. April moves to lamb, as The Beast Club continues to champion quality meat, sustainable farming and skilled butchery. *15 Spittal Street, Marlow, SL7 3HJ; until 28th February* Visit [TheButchersTapAndGrill.co.uk](https://thebutcherstapandgrill.co.uk/marlow/) ## Get Out Of Town ### The Wildmoor Experience At Wilderness Reserve Wildmoor, the aged Scotch whisky from William Grant & Sons, is bringing its spirit of adventure to Suffolk with The Wildmoor Experience at Wilderness Reserve, curated by renowned Scottish explorer and Wildmoor Adventurer Ambassador, Aldo Kane. Set on a private estate, this exclusive two-day escape includes swimming, axe throwing, archery, and then unwinding with a Wildmoor whisky tasting by the bonfire. As night falls, feast together – with a dram or two – before retreating into rustic luxury. *Chapel Barn Estate, Halesworth Road, Heveningham, Suffolk, 1P19 0EJ* Visit [WildernessReserve.com](http://www.wildernessreserve.com/all-experiences) [ ![The Wildmoor Experience At Wilderness Reserve](https://media.slman.com/OHxfS7DCTAr2LJZi9oKs-ncjSbU=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2025%2F02%2Fsl-man-wtdtw-the-wildmoor-experience-at-wilderness-reserve.jpg) ](http://www.wildernessreserve.com/all-experiences) The Wildmoor Experience At Wilderness Reserve ## Book Ahead ### Hearth Supper Series X Heckfield Place Following the success of last year’s Hearth Supper Series at Heckfield Place, 20th February sees Max Rocha, chef-owner of London favourite Café Cecilia, join forces with Heckfield’s culinary director Skye Gyngell and Hearth’s head chef Owen Seamark.
