Cheval's Updated Classic

Old fashioned desserts are back in action this sweltering summer but with a contemporary twist, just like our recently refurbished Cheval Harrington Court residence, due to open in just 2 weeks! Come June 4th, this old dame will be transformed into a blushing beauty.

You don’t need a cruise to get to Alaska
On the cusp of London’s financial district, ‘Duck & Waffle’ has updated the traditional baked Alaska with a frozen custard centre topped off with two servings of rhubarb (poached and dried) encompassed in sickly sweet syrup then encased in a flame blasted delicate meringue shell.

For those who like a tipple 
Self-pour bourbon infused hot caramel is served with the traditional Mr Whippy styled ice cream to diners yearning for an adult’s only take on a childhood favourite at ‘Foxlow’. This new eatery is making a mark in the London restaurant world.

No lemon curd here
Or how about the quintessentially British lemon posset found at Fitzrovia’s ‘Barnyard’ modernized by using Asian lemongrass instead of the traditional characteristic lemon? The wood interior and seating is comparable to that of a traditional country farmhouse.

Those are just three of our top picks for modern reincarnations, reminiscent of the reborn classic that is Cheval Harrington Court.

A Londoner's Beauty Summer Kit

Image
The Post Festival Recovery Kit by Hayley Cheval Gloucester Park has a Boots nearby. We wait all year for the summer to enjoy the best of the open air. But staying more outside means more time standing up, less sleep, more time in the sun and a lot more walking. And that can make us look tired... which is not at all the face of summer. London beauty queen +Hayley Carr  set up what she calls a "post festival recovery kit", as in London summer = music festivals everywhere (and we love it).  But we thought this selection is also good for every summer event, perfect to make you look fresh all season long.
