What To Do This Weekend 02.06.21
TAKE YOUR MATES: Sixes Cricket Club, Fitzrovia
Mac & Wild founders Andy Waugh and Calum Mackinnon have just opened a new… cricket club. A 20-minute walk from Lord’s, Sixes serves top-notch British fare such as Dorset cider mussels. Feasting spreads including sausage rolls, mac ’n’ cheese croquette bites and roast pork shoulder. The USP though is its cricket simulator nets – ideal for both kids and adults. Challenge your mates to a game, then settle the score over food and beers from the bar.

GET YOUR SWEAT ON: Karve Club
Karve Club is the new High Street Ken gym to know about. Karve has created its own Pilates method that proves the strength training exercise is for everyone. The machines are nearly twice as large as regular Pilates reformers and are made to sculpt with a high-intensity, low-impact workout. Fifty-minute classes have been inspired by the gym scene in NYC – expect sessions to be led by instructors who have flown over from the States to show you how it’s done. Founding memberships cost £200 per month – it’ll be worth the splurge when you see the results.

BOOK A TABLE HERE: AT Feast, St John’s Wood
AT Feast opened last week. The all-day dining brasserie and cookery school is a great place for a weekend brunch or post-work dinner. With a zero waste ethos, everything is made with sustainability in mind, but the dishes are still packed full of flavour. Diners can choose from dishes like broccoli margarita flatbreads with tomato sauce; kale, pea and ricotta fritters; meatless shepherd’s pie with garlic root mash; and quinoa coated chicken. Here, the desserts are the star of the show – think banoffee pie, bread and butter pudding with custard, and salted caramel pots. There’s also an extensive wine and cocktail menu to choose from – we can recommend the kombucha margaritas.
47-49 St John's Wood High Street, St John’s Wood, NW8 7NJ
