Lights, Camera

There are a few eternal questions concerning the state of London nightlife.

Why do big burly bouncers enjoy intimidating small women? Why do said women dress identically? And why, oh why, is it so damned impossible to find anywhere decent to go after 4am?

Answers on a postcard, or just read on...

The Obeah Club, from the legendary Rubber Ronnie, opens tonight, with a strictly invitation only party previewing the cult German film Black Sheep.

It's all louche and decadent, and perhaps best of all, open until 7am. A private members' club in the tradition of old - think Groucho when it was still exclusive and Soho House before it turned pink - it's for film, art and media insiders and the code's strictly 'what happens inside stays inside'.

 

And being as though it doesn't even get started until 11pm, it'll attract the bona fide night owls as opposed to City suits hoping to impress their Yankee management consultant peers.

Obeah, O yeah.

  • Wine Chap's Wine Tips: Truffles & a Tutonic Tipple?

    Fresh from the first ever German Premier Grand Cru tasting, as hosted by the infamous folks at The Wine Barn, it seemed apt that the Wine Chap should bring you this Teutonic special to whet your Euro-friendly palate…

  • Steaking A Claim

    I was a vegetarian once. It was a dark time, filled with lentils, tofu, and things that grew out of the ground as if of their own volition. Then steak found me.

  • What's for Supper: Keepin' it Raw

    For carnivores seeking a quality protein high - there can be no better way to enjoy meat than in its purest, unadulterated form. Yes.. that means raw.

     

  • Ethiopian Kitfo

    Ethiopian food has to be one of the most under-rated cuisines. Made up of tangy, spiced  lentil and chicken stews served on a delicious sourdough crepe called ‘injera’, it is one of my absolute favourites.

     

  • Beef Carpaccio with Horseradish Crème Fraiche

    This is a lovely way to make carpaccio and would make a delicious first course for Sunday lunch. The lemon oil adds a really nice flavour and any leftovers can be drizzled over over roast fish or pasta tossed with artichokes and peas.
