Bottomless brunches are a great way to spend an afternoon or special occasion and due to their popularity more and more restaurants around London are offering bottomless brunch deals to attract diners. Bottomless brunches usually last for between 90 minutes and 2 hours and include prosecco/cocktails and beer (I always go for prosecco) but check with any of the restaurants that you’re booking with. Here are a few of my favourites.

  1. Theo Randall at The Intercontinental – £49 – this is one of the best bottomless brunches that I have ever been to. It offers a brunch dishes with an authentic Italian twist and their starter buffet is utterly incredible. There’s a carvery, a pasta making station and crepe station. It is family friendly and perfect for special occasions. I would recommend calling to make a reservation if it looks sold out online. It’s popular and for good reason, it’s brilliant.

2. Wild Heart Soho – £20/£24 I booked this via Timeout but you can book directly and get the exact same deal, 2 courses and 90 minutes bottomless prosecco for less than £20 in London is a fantastic deal. Great for hanging out with friends, I went with a friend on a sunday and the sunday roast was delicious! The bottomless drinks are a tad slow to come but you will still have a good amount of prosecco so we didn’t feel short changed.

3. M Victoria – £35-£40 This was a fantastic experience and the service was impeccable. The 90 minute free flowing deals aren’t just for brunch either so check the availability and times directly with the restaurant or with a restaurant booking service.

4. Amber £19 Bottomless prosecco for 2 hours! Great value brunch featuring great Middle-Eastern food, perfect for informal and relaxed dining with friends. I can’t recommend this enough – in fact I’m long overdue another visit.

5. The Greenwich Grind has a great offer in which you get 90 minutes of free-flowing prosecco and bloody marys for £14.50 extra.

All the deals I’ve mentioned are per person and the prices were correct at the time of writing this. Treat yourself to a great day out with someone special or a group of friends and enjoy London.

Does London’s Oldest Restaurant Serve The Best Gin Cocktails in Town?

City of London based, Boisdale of Bishopsgate has discovered that the beautiful vaulted cellars in Swedeland Court in which it operates were built in the mid-seventeenth century possibly before the great fire of London in 1666 making it the oldest London building with restaurant premises.

This unexpected discovery spurred general manager Ines Jankowska and head mixologist Anna Zacharewicz to look into the types of drinks customers would have enjoyed prior and around 1731 when James Ashley, a 33-year-old “wholesale dealer in cheese,” abandoned his line of work to open The  London Punch-House on the north side of Ludgate Hill and promptly became the first British celebrity mixologist. Cocktails really do have a rich and vibrant history. Gin was the go-to spirit of the time and it was usually mixed with sugar, nutmeg and the juice or rinds of citrus and served in a form of punch or shrub. Ines and Anna’s research resulted in new additions to the Boisdale cocktail list – Gin Crusta, London Milk Punch,  Marylebone Old Fashioned and City of London Distillery Gin & Double Dutch tonic. I was invited to try a cocktail as a guest of the restaurant bar and went for the Marylebone Old Fashioned and my guest went for the crusta. They were great quality cocktails, with balanced quality ingredients used and most certainly worth trying in fact members of the public can get THREE cocktails for the price of one by quoting “Is this the oldest restaurant on London?” (terms and conditions apply)*. Since I haven’t tried every gin cocktail in London I can’t say for sure whether they’re the best but they were definitely some of the best ones I have tasted recently so I would recommend giving them a try.

And can we be absolutely certain that Boisdale of Bishopsgate is definitely the oldest restaurant in London? “We have always known that the stunning panelled arched brick cellar in which we created Boisdale of Bishopsgate was very special and we are truly delighted to have been able to confirm its extraordinary antiquity. Whether or not it is the oldest building in which a restaurant operates in London is not absolutely clear, but for the time being we will claim that it is!” – Ranald Macdonald Proprietor.

*Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. Three cocktails for the price of one. The offer cannot be claimed twice in one day and is subject to availability. Cocktails: Gin Crusta (£12), London Milk Punch (£12),  Marylebone Old Fashioned (£13) and City of London Distillery Gin & Double Dutch (£11.90) until  Monday 16th September  (Monday to Friday 6pm – 8pm).
