Over the years Elldrew have blogged about lunch and dinner entertaining we’ve hosted, they’re always great fun and the perfect opportunity to catch-up with family or friends and try out new recipes. Last weekend we probably had our biggest challenge to date. To prepare a luncheon for guests who are vegetarian, gluten and egg free.

cities explored and adored
Montecatini Terme, Italy
If you’re looking for an ideal Tuscan destination for a summer holiday then look no further than the ancient thermal spa-town of Montecatini Terme, Italy. Nestled between the seaside tourist destination of Pisa and the equally tourist heavy romantic city of Florence – an easy commute by car, train or bus (approx 50 kms to …
UK Breaks Pt.3: The Bull Hotel
Our final visit was all the way down to Dorset where, inspired by the TV series ‘Broadchurch’, we spent a weekend exploring the Jurassic Coast. For this trip we stayed at The Bull Hotel in Bridport – a restored inn and where we substituted spa facilities for walks along the beach and the spectacular Dorset …
UK Breaks Pt.2: Pennyhill Park
A couple of months after Cowley we took the opportunity of a bank holiday to visit Pennyhill Park Hotel and Spa in Surrey, about an hour outside of London. Home to the English Rugby training grounds and regularly commended in the ‘Good Spa Guide’, we thought we’d add it to our list of places we’d …

For our third visit back to this fantastic resort we just had to return to Kabuki – the 1 Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton resort. This visit we dined twice as the food was exquisite and again lived up to it’s ‘best Japanese restaurant in Europe’ status. Mouthwatering, visually spectacular, if you are visiting …

Roll Up, Roll Up
With the summer season soon ending there is still time to head down to the London Wonderground, at Southbank Centre, to catch some fantastic live performances and cabaret acts inside the amazing 1920s Paradiso Spiegeltent. The Spiegeltent was originally built in Belgium in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these circular, mirrored tents are …
