Under newly appointed Executive Chef Sam Morgan, Wimbledon’s public dining has been rebuilt from the ground up. From the coastal seafood at The Wingfield overlooking Centre Court to the zero-waste karaage at the Walled Garden, the 2026 Championships is serving food that finally matches the tennis.
On the left bank of Paris, with the Eiffel Tower glittering beyond the window, Margaux is a restaurant that knows exactly what it’s good at. Chef Paul-Alexandre Laumont’s terroir-rooted French classics earned Margaux its title of Meilleur Cordon Bleu de Paris 2026 – and the food would be worth sitting down to anywhere. The iconic view is simply the gift on top.
Royal Ascot returns from 16th–20th June 2026 with record prize money of £10.65 million, a truly international field headlined by Calandagan, Daryz, and Forever Young, and a culinary programme boasting 29 Michelin stars. We preview the horses, the fashion, and the occasion itself.
Fish cookery is where Angler stands or falls, and it stands very well. The Michelin Guide notes the “top-drawer fish” and pared-back treatment, including a now-famous roasted Newlyn cod, and that’s very much the energy at play. A fillet of John Dory might arrive with Coco de Paimpol beans, the skin crisped but not shattered, the flesh just at that point where it yields to the fork but still has definition.
The Palacio, as I said, is situated at the south of the city, by the Belem Tower and surrounding the hotel are various sights to take in whilst in Lisbon, or none of them. There is a huge Brutalist edifice that houses the museum of the locality, but at every turn there is something to see, visit, climb, ride, eat or drink.
Even for somebody well-acquainted with the nature of international travel, there’s something remarkable about the fact that a plane can be boarded in the grim satellite that is Stansted Airport, flown for a mere eighty minutes, and disembarked somewhere that feels worlds away.
Tuscany is a part of the world I felt I was familiar with. I’ve walked the cobbled streets of Siena. I’ve jostled through the overbearing crowds of Florence, craning my neck to take in the wonders of Brunelleschi and his kin while keeping half an eye on…
At the mesmerising Al Hosn Festival, I found a vivid celebration of Emirati heritage with craftspeople, poetry, pearl divers and falconers gathered around the city’s oldest structure, the Al Hosn Fort. The air was thick with the scent of oud, and for an afternoon, I felt part of something older and wiser.
Michelin guide recommended, Prithvi was founded by Jay Rahman, a Cheltenham local with hospitality running in the family. In 2012, the new era of an existing name commenced. Headed by Executive Chef Tom Law, they designed a sophisticated reimagining of South Indian cuisine.
Set in a sprawling country estate with a gentle grasp on the Cotswolds just moments away from Cheltenham, a long driveway lined with neatly coiffured hedgerows leads to The Greenway Hotel & Spa. Resident to the same lineage from its construction in 1584 until 1854, after just three subsequent owners, it opened as a luxury hotel in 1945. Relatively untouched, the Elizabethan architecture still reigns throughout the grand Grade II-listed 16th-century manor.
