We’re back! Sorry for the delay people – we’ve had a bit of an extended break, but we’re back now to provide you with your weekly digest of what’s good and great in the world of food, drink and events around London! . London Restaurant Festival, 3-17 October
. London Cocktail Week, 7-14 October London may as well close down for a week as the country’s greatest celebrations of cocktails will no doubt lead to more than a few sore heads in the city! London Cocktail Week is designed to encourage Londoners to try new things, taste different cocktails, visit bars they’ve never heard of and maybe even try their hand at cocktail making too. The public can also get involved in Cocktail Tours; incorporating 150 bars, they will each be showcasing a special cocktail for just £4. Tickets to the Tours are £10 for the week and available from www.LondonCocktailWeek.com . An Evening with Bompas & Parr @ The Mount Street Deli, W1, 6 October In the past Bompas & Parr has collaborated with Lord Foster and Heston Blumenthal to design jellies, flooded a Grade I listed building with four tonnes of alcoholic punch that visitors boated across before drinking, created a breathable cloud of G&T, charted the complete history of food, concocted a flavour changing chewing gum and built a chocolate waterfall flowing at a rate of 12,000 litres an hour. Now the public will be given an insight into their crazy world as they are invited to join Bompas & Parr to find out more about what they do and how they do it! Tickets for the event are £10 each. To book, call 020 7499 6843. www.themountstreetdeli.co.uk

Different wood finishes are becoming increasingly popular in the whisky world, but Auchentoshan have taken the bold step of 100% maturing this whisky in Bordeaux wine casks. With Bordeauxrenowned for its deep red wines, it’s no surprise that this whisky has a deep red hue and rich flavour to match. Expect Auchentoshan’s signature vanilla notes, layered fruit and wood spices – then a long, lingering finish. Incredibly smooth and moreish, despite its cask strength 58% Abv, the flavours open nicely from the first sip, with just the smallest drop of water required to mellow and release the full potential of the whisky. £42.49 from www.thewhiskyexchange.com .

Arbutus, W1
Click here to read full review… . Kentish Canteen, NW5 Located on the doorstep of the HMV Forum, perhaps Kentish Canteen’s greatest problem is that not enough visiting music fans will ever take the time out to enjoy the restaurant’s great food and lively atmosphere. Bright and breezy, affable and affordable, visitors wanting a little respite from the world will be treated to an all-day menu comprising of unpretentious, seasonal and deeply flavoursome food.
