Review of Milk Beach’s Sunday Sessions in Soho

Soho may be sleepy on a Sunday, but step through the arch on Greek Street and suddenly you’re in Ibiza. Milk Beach’s Sunday Sessions bring the sunshine vibes every week until the end of September, with al fresco dining, a live DJ, cocktail pitchers, and a special brunch menu running from 11:30am to 5pm.

The Aussie-inspired interiors set the tone straight away with natural hues, quirky artwork, and even seaside sounds in the loos. It’s holiday mode from the first sip.

Food-wise, the menu doesn’t disappoint. Our avocado toast arrived stacked high on thick sourdough with feta, watercress, and seeds - a whole avocado’s worth, no skimping here. The sweet potato fritters with smoked salmon and poached eggs were light yet indulgent, while the house special prawn toast was a serious crowd-pleaser.

Drinks flowed just as freely, we went for a spicy margarita (punchy but balanced) and a green juice so good we immediately refuelled. The blend of mango, avocado, banana, apple, lemon, and spinach was refreshing and surprisingly moreish.

Dessert sealed the deal: the “Golden Gaytime” parfait with layers of toffee, buttermilk, dark chocolate malt, and honeycomb crumble. Rich, nostalgic, and the perfect sweet finish to a sun-soaked brunch.

Milk Beach’s Sunday Sessions are the kind of weekends you’ll want to put on repeat. Book your table at https://www.milkbeach.com/reservations

Dans Le Noir?, famous for their world-renowned dine in the dark experience, launches their new pop-up at the Swinfen Hall Hotel. The hotel, a stately manor house in the heart of Staffordshire, will be the new pop-up location for locals, and visitors alike to enjoy for the month of March. Swinfen Hall, a beautiful, 250-year-old country mansion, is home to a kitchen that has held the AA three-rosette accolade for over five years. Head Chef Ed Dutton brings a wealth of experience, having worked in Michelin star restaurants around Europe and London.

The experience, which first opened in 2004 in Paris, and then London in 2006, offers diners the opportunity to taste gourmet, creative and seasonal cuisine in complete darkness, accompanied and served by unexpected guides. The concept of dinner or lunch in pitch darkness is an original experience that allows diners to re-evaluate their perception of taste and touch while reclaiming and reinvigorating the senses.

The dishes on the menu are cooked with only the finest, seasonal organic fruit and vegetables, free-range and outdoor reared meats, and the refined wine menu is specially curated to match the menu offerings. Diners will have no idea what’s on their plate until they have finished eating, allowing them to truly taste the flavours and absorb the atmosphere. It’s a feast for the senses!
