At Bassoon Bar, in London’s Corinthia Hotel, they take their cocktails very seriously. A team of expert mixologists have worked hard to bring a range of traditional and innovative drinks. They clearly pride themselves on their work and have even gone to the effort of making a video to explain their ‘philosophy’. Music, they say, is important…
I’ll start this weeks Weds Wrap with the image of me being carried along by a team of strapping young waiters – trust me, it’s far less glamorous than it sounds. I had to be carried up the stairs at The Gilbert Scott last week because their lift had broken down. I was not particularly…

I keep forgetting to write this review and I don’t know why as I had a great night out at Bubbledogs, in Charlotte St., London. They serve exactly what you’d think champagne – direct from growers so there are some unusual and very good bottles of ‘poo’ – and hotdogs – which were fine but…
