Spontaneous dining; not something Elldrew do often; mostly because our choice of restaurants require planning and booking well in advance, however every so often, when the moons align, spontaneity can be a good thing. This was apparent on a recent outing to trendy Clerkenwell to watch a friend’s live gig. Without a booking, specific craving …

Banana Tree Restaurant, London
Quite often we tend to get wrapped up in the hype of trendy or new restaurant openings that we forget there are plenty of well-established venues serving up delicious cuisine, that also need recognition. It may have taken Elldrew 20 odd years to finally book a table at Pan Asian restaurant Banana Tree, but after …
Restaurant Guide Update: Ciutadella, Menorca
They say you can never have too much of a good thing, so on a second visit in as many years to the lovely Hotel Can Faustino located in the old Ciutadella on the Spanish island of Menorca, we couldn’t wait to return to eat at some of our previous favourite restaurants, as well as …
Nobu and El Tiburon Restaurants, Ibiza
Aside from its party island reputation Ibiza also has its fair share of gastronomic experiences. So, on a recent short break, Elldrew eschewed the nightclubs in favour of a more sophisticated food focused holiday.
The Ned Hotel, London
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’ …
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, London Apollo Theatre
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.
ICEHOTEL Sweden: Eating Guide
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.
Temper Soho Restaurant, London
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 …
ICEHOTEL Sweden: Sleeping on Ice
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 …
ICEHOTEL Sweden: Husky Wilderness Adventure
And that’s another bucket list ticked! Sleeping on ice/in ice has long been a dream for Elldrew, but the price tag associated with a hotel that melts annually has been somewhat prohibitive, making it a real bucket list item for which we needed a significant occasion. With one of Elldrew entering a new decade, January provided …
