"Welcome to your birthday month. Yes, you get a whole month, because we all know that the traumatic injustice of ‘turning 29 again’ better have some kind of pay off - especially if that pay off comes in the form of a whisky vending machine and London’s best lamb chops. City spot Brigadiers is just a really, excessively fun restaurant that happens to have a pool table, a slick bar, and serve an excellent bone marrow biryani. Whether you book one of the long tables in the dining room, a circular booth by the bar, or go a little crazy and take over one of their private dining rooms for the night, you’re pretty much guaranteed a whole lot of on-tap old fashioned fuelled hilarity." - heidi lauth beasley
