Early in 2017, after years in hibernation, the old Midland Bank headquarters in the City re-emerged butterfly-like and transformed into London’s hottest new destination hotel, The Ned, run by the uber-chic and contemporary Soho House & Co. For a group notoriously strict about the type of people they admit into their “exclusive” creative industry only members’ …
Embracing some culture in 2017, Elldrew scored tickets to watch the latest adaptation of Tennessee Williams 1955 play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, at the Apollo Theatre starring Sienna Miller and Jack O’Connell.
With the cold January Swedish weather and our energetic husky wilderness adventure one can’t be blamed for spending much of their ICEHOTEL trip thinking about their stomachs! We wanted to do a quick blog about dining at the ICEHOTEL sweden restaurants, for anyone planning a trip up north.
It’s BBQ season and as things warm up, white legs bared and linen takes pride of place in the wardrobe, Elldrew have a tip for anyone trying to serve the perfect grill, that won’t leave you hot and bothered, losing your temper. Put the tongs down, step away from the flame and let someone else …
Day 2 and 3 of our icy adventure saw us return from the overnight husky ride to the ICEHOTEL. When booking you’re advised to sleep in a “cold” room on either your first or last night of the trip. We opted for our final night so that we’d be acclimatised and more settled. We were …

A few years back we purchased an Orlebar Brown (OB) drawstring duffle bag, which has made its annual appearance on all our summer holidays. Built to last with a capacity to hold everything you could possibly need …
Weekend breakfast is often one of Elldrew’s favourite meal time, it’s the chance to take things slow and cook up some homemade favourites (or guilty pleasures) like our Bacon Twisties or Breakfast Loaf. It’s also perfectly acceptable to cook and eat in your pj’s, with a large brew of coffee and fresh OJ, calorie counting …
Elldrew have been on a bit of an immersive experience in the first half of 2017. We’ve eaten our way through the Chambers of Flavour , escaped a bank vault in under an hour and most recently attended Secret Cinema’s latest instalment: Moulin Rouge. We’re sworn to secrecy so can’t really tell you anything about …
Following a recent holiday to Sweden, with three nights at the infamous Ice Hotel (separate blog to follow) we had the opportunity to dine at the Nordic inspired, newly opened London branch of restaurant Aquavit.
