Top foodie things worth trying this weekend
- Forget firing up the barbecue yourself. Head on down to the South Bank where Pitt Cue Co are doing a storming business out of a custom trailer under Hungerford Bridge. And while you're there, you can check out the Dishoom Chowpatty Beach nearby.
- Get on the phone to one of the restaurants from our Best alfresco restaurants in London piece. Be the smug one with a reservation on a garden or terrace table this weekend for a change, instead of sweltering indoors.
- Take the opportunity to try out one of the hot new restaurants that opened this week. Russell Norman's da Polpo and José Pizarro's Jose are both getting rave reviews from discerning foodies.
- Be prepared: enter our competition to win a Cuisinart ice-cream maker and the next time the sun shines you'll be ready with your own homemade gelato.
- And as we're talking terraces, how's about heading for the one with the view at Blueprint Cafe where they're serving up a 21st birthday menu this weekend kicking off with a glass of champagne and three courses for just £21.
- But, if you're hellbent on getting out of town, we can't think of many places we'd rather be than sitting poolside at Hotel Terravina, barely 90 minutes out of London, contemplating dinner with a walk through world-class sommelier Gerard Bassett's wine cellar.
