Smith & Sinclair
Something a little different with two exciting pop-ups for the festive season at Sanderson hotel and Bluewater, set to capture the imagination of the city and beyond. Think of an emporium of alcoholic and edible wonders, and you’re on your way their with the The Flavour Rooms. They will feature specially created products from the adult play pioneers (Hello!!!!???), including a cocktail sherbet wall, pick ‘n’ mix, edible perfumes, twisted ‘salt & pepper’ shakers and alcoholic dib dabs for shoppers to discover, take home and enjoy over the festive season. (Okay so adult play pioneers weren’t what I was thinking…. awkward…)
Finally, they are also collaborating with Sanderson for Smith & Sinclair at Purple Bar, a cocktail bar serving a variety of alcoholic concoctions to exhilarate the senses including cocktails that change in flavour and taste.

Herman ze German
Finally, our sausage loving friends Herman ze German have brought us Winter Fest. Ze Basement Bar to Herman’s Fitzrovia home. Expect a winter haven perfect for the Christmas party season. It is offering a special pre-booked sharing platter menu and set to a festive soundtrack of yuletide favourites, this is one sausage fest not to be missed.Priced at just £20 per person, Herman ze German invite punters to sing Christmas classics such as “It’s beginning to look a lot like Schnitzel”, “Mistletoe and Steins” and “Once in Royal Herman’s City” as they fill themselves with more wurst than could fit in a goose. (I really don’t know what this means but it sounds great as long as there is sausage and beer)
