The Garrison

You don't need us to tell you that birthdays are a great excuse to indulge and neither does this superior boozer, which has consistently picked up Time Out, Square Meal and Evening Standard awards year after year.

This year is the Clerkenwell foodie favourite's fifth so they're throwing caution to the wind by offering customers all sorts of delectable deals. Swig a glass of champagne, Sea Breeze or Bloody Mary for a fiver, tuck into a plate of five select cheeses for the same or simply make the most of their brilliantly priced lunch deals; select two small plates - grilled asparagus with chopped duck egg and sardines on toast for instance - and a glass of wine for a tenner. Can't say fairer than that guvnor!

The family-run pub is due for a busy July with the Italian Festival and Procession of our Lady of Mount Carmel coming up on the 20th - book now for the 'magnifico' feast they're planning on the Sunday or pop along to a wine tasting on the 16th. There's also a food-themed quiz on 9th July to raise money for Action Against Hunger with teams captained by such gourmet luminaries as Lucas Hollweg.

Now who says we don't keep you entertained?
