To celebrate Glaswegian’s penchant for spice, UberEATS partnered with Indian restaurant Tuk Tuk to create the ‘Hellfire Phaal’. The...

In amongst the shops of Bethnal Green Road you’ll find the 160-year old, inconspicuous blue façade of what used to be a pub called The Albion. Since this summer, though, this the home of Coupette, the presence merely given away by a wholly unremarkable branded doormat. Blink and you’ll miss it. Coupette describes itself as a ‘neighbourhood bar with a local aesthetic and French accent to everything’. The ‘everything’ being both the extensive drinks menu and the comparatively sparse food...

The monks behind a controversial tonic wine have blasted a Scottish confectioner as "highly irresponsible" for making BUCKFAST FLAVOURED SWEETS. Buckfast have struggled to shake off a reputation which has seen the drink directly linked with violent crime and anti-social behaviour. And confectioners Ross's of Edinburgh have now concocted the flavour to appeal to "the younger generation".

While the best restaurant names were being handed out, I’d imagine Flavour Bastard (along with Sexy Fish and now renamed Pussey Liquor in East Dulwich) must have been taking a cigarette break. Since opening in Soho just under two months ago, Flavour Bastard has received a mixed reception, to say the least.
