At William Murray, we’re a hungry bunch. Both food obsessed, and curious about the latest trends, openings, chefs and how they’re shaping the industry we love.
Each week we’ll be sharing our highlights: from some of the hottest openings and happening trends, to the stalwarts that continue to make us smile.
This week…
A future favourite: Heinz Brekkie
I got to see – and taste! – the awesome new Heinz Brekkie. The virtual breakfast restaurant is a collab between Heinz and Lean Kitchen Network – bringing brekkie buns, bagels and tots direct to your door. The brekkie buns with Heinz [Seriously] Good mayonnaise were, er, seriously good. And the branding is bold and on point. Check it out on Uber Eats, or get down to Asda in Clapham to see it in action in House of Yum; a supermarket cafe with a difference. The future? We think so.
Service to make you smile at The Railway
CEO Anita settled into Liverpool favourite The Railway to enjoy a three course Sunday lunch – complete with a porn star martini for an incredible £15. There’s value up north. She says: “There are a raft of great new openings in Liverpool, but I come back to The Railway again and again for its great value Sunday lunch and second to none service. The team of friendly Irish youngsters go over and above, there’s always service with a smile. And you never leave hungry.”
A trio of crackers in Manchester
Our resident Mancunian James got greedy – trying not one but three crackers in Manchester over the weekend. His first stop was Adelphilads Club for the Shingri-La Festival. The venue is the perfect space to enjoy the northern summer, with a sun-drenched green oasis benefitting from all day sunshine and an outdoor DJ booth. Inspired by the Middle East and Mediterranean, the Adelphi Garden’s blue walls, Bedouin inspired tent and foliage create the perfect backdrop to enjoy a pint and some Wing Ting wings. Cibo was up next, which has 50% off its menu Sunday – Thursday for the entire month of August. This stellar deal is very popular amongst the locals so booking is advised. For a final tiple, James says you could do worse than the 2×1 cocktails at Byrom Place.
A look at Borough Yards
A hop and a skip across the road from culinary hot spot Borough Market, Borough Yards was well worth the trip. The stripped back brickwork and omission – so far – from the tourist guide books, offered a culinary oasis among the revamped warehouses. Brother Marcus delivered on brunch with smoky shakshuka and super fluffy pitas, and sweet sticky French toast and bacon floss coming up firm faves. Next up – the shady terrace at Parrillan. Just two minutes from our office hub in London Bridge, we’re set to be here a whole lot more.
