Hawkers House

Christmas comes but once a year, but thankfully delicious pop-up food markets are a regular thing in London.  

On Saturday, my friend Leigh and I went to Hawker's House in Canada Water. 
We threw ourselves through the big black curtain, in to a room filled with lots of a different pop-up stalls, boasting mouth watering menus. 


Wasting no time at all, we headed straight to the bar. 


Ordering two cocktails. They were SOOO good and finished far too quickly. 

We browsed the stalls, all with different, quirky styles. My favourite being The Meringue Girls.



And the meringues looked pretty delicious too...


We headed next door, tempted by a sign emblazoned with burgers and ribs, to buy our much awaited dinner!

But not before we took an obligatory photo in Bob's Lobster shack. 


Leigh had looked up Hawker's House on their Instagram, which meant she already had her eyes set on a burger from Chuck Burger. 


It did not disappoint.


Love at first sight. 


A much needed close up.

Not being sure what I wanted, fate led me to Prawnography, where someone hadn't collected their order, so they gave their order to me (for free!). 

The best fries I've ever tasted. Ever.



Oh my God. Crab fries. 

Another close up? Oh go on then. 


Crunchy, oozing with thousand island dressing and just delicious. 

After all this food it was about time we had another drink. 

We headed to Kamm and Sons and chose a Kammberry, served hot. 




After our hot drinks, we picked up some free ribs (yes free) and headed to the Milk & Honey Mercury Lounge. 

All leather seats and romantic lighting.

And no plastic cups for these cocktails.


I had the kickerbocker, topped with champagne.

Once our cocktails were long gone, we rushed off to get the last train home. 

Only stopping to take a picture at this amazing wall.

Mulled Wine

It's finally December! Which means I can finally talk about all things Christmassy and no one can say a thing! 

A couple of weeks ago I saw some lovely recipe ideas on Pinterest for mulled wine and decided to give it a try myself. 


You need the following: 
  • 1 litre dry red wine (doesn't need to be expensive)
  • 2 (5cm) cinnamon sticks 
  • 1 dessertspoon whole cloves
  • 1 dessertspoon whole allspice
  • 1 large piece orange peel
  • 1 large piece lemon peel 
  • 4 tablespoons sugar (or how ever much you want, try before you add more)
Method: 

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, add the red wine, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, lemon rind and orange rind. Heat gently, but don't bring it to the boil. Stir in the 4 tablespoons of sugar, and then taste, to see if you'd like to add more!

2. Keep hot on medium to low heat for 20 minutes to let the flavours infuse the wine. 

3. Nothing else except serve and enjoy!
