It’s Cocktail Week this week! No, it’s not just a week where everyone at Blue Badge Style drinks loads of cocktails – that would be every week – it’s officially London Cocktail Week. Alongside some special events there are over 150 bars offering discounted cocktails. The system for the week is that you can buy a…
You may or may not know London Cocktail Week started on Monday. Unfortunately, much as I’d like to, I haven’t been able to drop everything and spend the last few days in a Martini-fueled haze, wheeling around the city and enjoying the festivities. Instead, for much of the first few days of LCW, I’ve been holed…
As we’ve mentioned ad infinitum we were at The Pitch 2013 last week in Bristol, to get investment for BBS, fingers crossed. As a result we awarded some places BBS Ticks of recommendation.

This week’s Weds Wrap is coming all the way from my current location in sunny Ibiza. I’m over here researching stylish venues on the island at the moment. Yes, I know it’s a tough life but somebody has to do it. This is not a holiday though, I can’t stress that enough – we’ve been going here,…

There are a few Caffe Vergnano’s but the one I went to is on London’s South Bank. When I went there for dinner, there was, in fact, a man in a wheelchair at the table next to ours which is why I thought it must be suitable! It’s an Italian coffee shop but they also…
