Hot Dinners was over at Westfield last night for a celebratory glass of Pommery champagne (or two) in honour of the opening of an extension to the Searcy's Champagne Bar.
Recession - what recession? The place was packed with fashionistas - and the odd foodie - cheered to find a comfortable area to charge their glasses with fizz.
The new section of the champagne bar can also be booked for private parties for anyone who wants to shop and sip.
