Summery Sundays: Sunday Summer Closed 24/7 - 4/9 inc

We love doing brunch on Sundays - but during the summer, lots of people leave London and the sun is too tempting on a Sunday to stay inside.  So, during the school summer holidays we will be closed on Sundays.

For those of you who can't remember when the school holidays are:  We're closed on Sundays from 24th July until 4th September inclusive.

Instead, how about popping by on a Saturday and stocking up on nice stuff to bring to the park on Sunday?  Our perfect Scandinavian picnic for a sunny Sunday in the park looks a bit like this:

- Pickled herring (for newbies, we suggest Abbas Senapssill - it's a good starter herring)

- Dark rye bread (slice it from home, it is easier)

- Leksands crisp bread

- Some lovely cheese - try the creamy Aseda/Havarti or the wonderfully nutty Jarlsberg. if you like stinky, go for Gamle Ole.

- Beetroot and Apple salad

- Some nice new potatoes, tossed in dill

- Stryhns liver pate from Denmark - topped with the Swedish smorgasgurka

- Some beautifully dill cured salmon with dill & mustard sauce (hovmastersaus)

- Vasterbotten paj - a quiche made from Vasterbotten cheese and cream filling - top with romsas (1 jar of lumpfish roe mixed caviar with 2 dl creme fraiche).

Sweet stuff for afters

- Swedish kladdkaka - sticky Swedish brownie - served with fresh strawberries and maybe a dash of vanilla creme.

Pick up most of the stuff you need from the store on Great Titchfield Street (or order online) - ask the nice people behind the counter, they can help you with any question you have.
