In London, it's unlikely your interest will be peaked by the words 'wine bar'. Here, alcohol is a key part of the restaurant landscape. There are places for the snobs, and there are places for those who are just looking for the nearest (and longest) happy hour.
I'm not sure why we only really associate cheeseboards with Christmas in England. If I had it my way, I'd indulge year round - but then maybe I wouldn't appreciate them so much? The combo of cheese, crackers and chutney is my weakness; once I have one, I can't stop.
I'll forgive you if you've never heard of Mast Brothers - I hadn't heard of them either until news that they were partnering with Shake Shack hit my inbox. And with the offer to try Shake Shack (I know I know - where have I been?) and an indie chocolate brand, I couldn't say no.
