Raising The Bar Food

Oh, those heady nights spent knocking back White Russians in the Met Bar whilst rubbing shoulders with the likes of Robbie Williams and George Benson. If I remember right, food didn't really enter into the equation, and oh how we suffered for it the next day.

A few (okay, nearly ten) years on, and the Met Bar , having gone through various, slightly dubious phases, seems to be zipping up its boots and raising the stakes – in the bar snacks area at least.

Still one of the best places to go for a decent cocktail, from the end of July you'll be able to take Afternoon De-Light tea in one of the legendary, leather booths; or choose from candy-coloured wheat-free macaroons and cupcakes and dinky little no-bread sandwich pots for a more innocent form of indulgence.

Alternatively, if teatime suddenly becomes Santori time and you need something else to soak up the drink there's the Midnight Menu, which features all those classic favourites like a burger, kebab or curry but made from the finest ingredients and at only £10 a pop.

They've even introduced a raw-food heavy, well-being lunchtime menu.

That's it. Proof that we really are getting older.
