The bar I go to most often is Scarfes Bar at Rosewood London. You’ll get exceptional service and it’s the most wonderful room. In terms of pubs, I have so many favourites so it’s hard to narrow it down to one, so I’ll go for The Grapes and The French House. I was recently impressed with The Hound that’s just opened in Chiswick.

Another favourite new opening is Josephine Bouchon in Fulham. It’s a little slice of Paris in London, and I’ve loved it every time I’ve been there. 

The most memorable place I’ve ever had a drink is The Nomad New York. When it opened, the level of quality and hospitality was something I had never experienced – and haven't since. It was the perfect venue opened at the perfect time.

For a quick drink, I might pop into our new Soho site. I’m really enjoying the energy, whether I’m working or drinking there. And I think Rosey and Simone in the Dalston site consistently put out the best new creations in the city. But outside of our own team, my favourite mixologists are Damien and Sam from Wax On in Berlin. And Soma in Soho and Satan’s Whiskers out east are both excellent. 

My top recommendation for impressing a date is to choose somewhere for them, not for you. 

I tend not to drink when I’m at home given I’m lucky to spend lots of time in bars and restaurants drinking for work. Considering I work in booze, I find it easy to not drink, especially if I’m alone at home or travelling. If I’m cooking, I’ll maybe have some wine, but never cocktails. If I’m hosting at home, it's always nice to open a bottle of champagne. Billecart-Salmon Rosé is a winner.
