With the long weekend upon us, and the promise of three rain free days ahead; here’s a few recommendations from the welovelocals to help make the most of the bank holiday come rain or shine.

Keston Lodge: Ashley F. says: ‘ideal for wishing away a long Sunday afternoon; the music is relaxed’

The Dragon Bar: Anita S. says: ‘This bar is shockingly outrageously funky and different!’

Zebrano: Richard H. says: ‘one of the few places you can have a pint of san miguel in the sun in soho’

The Rake: Tim B. says: ‘This is the beer snob’s Vinopolis’

The Lock Tavern: Stewart H. says: ‘the beer garden is a sure fire winner if your looking for a party venue.’

Bodeans BBQ: JP J. says: ‘You’re guaranteed a slab of (or in the case of the exuqisite pulled-pork, shredded) meat which won’t touch the sides as you scoff it down.’

Sketch: Amy L. says: ‘I wanted to go to sketch merely for the infamous alien egg toilets that they have. I didn’t realise that the food was going to be amazing too.’

The Eagle: Vlad T. says ‘You can while away the time waiting by watching the chefs beaver away or simply relax in an environment that looks like it has been decorated with the contents of a old school.’

The Prince of Wales: Joseph C. says: ‘one of the main attractions of the Prince is the offer of a game of Boule. Rent out one of their sets, get yourself a jug of pernod, repair to the gravelled square and toss your boules with gay abandon. Squint and you could be in a small French village.

Smiths of Smithfield: Meg P. says: ‘it’s hard to find fault with the food - tasty, simple dishes with fresh ingredients and served in a quick and non-fussy way, accompanied by some excellent wines.’
