So on a sunny Saturday afternoon, we decided to drive out to Kent and visit the Chapel Down…read moreVineyard! We've been fans of the wine for awhile (their Pinot Reserve sparkling is delicious), and we needed to get some of their Flint Dry (and by some, I mean a lot) for a big celebration we had coming up. After driving through the countryside of Kent and through some small villages nearby, you will finally arrive at the Vineyard. It's not close to the motorway, just be prepared, but you do get to see the lovely scenic Kent countryside so that's a bonus. When you arrive, you're allowed three complimentary tastes of their wines or beers (although I'm not sure how hard and fast that rule is given we tried a few more than that). I can recommend many of their sparklings, whites and beers, but their reds aren't for me. Then if you want to buy some to take home, they offer 10% a purchase of 12 or more. There's also a huge food area to buy goodies from chocolates to jams and even savory spreads (like bacon jam!). After shopping (or even before) you can wander around the vineyard and see the grapes. We did a small walk through, but given the heat of the day, we mostly found a shaded spot in the grass and sat around chatting. There's even a restaurant if you desire a place to eat, or you can pick up cheese and biscuits from inside the shop and eat in the picnic area. It's a gorgeous place to spend a sunny Saturday.

Prior to our trip, we were looking for wineries to visit and found Chapel Down. We found them and…read moretheir wines interesting. They have a great location and encourage picnics with a bottle of their wine. We walked a bit in the vineyards before heading in for a tasting. We drink sparkling wine every weekend so the fact that they produced several was a huge draw. We really enjoyed them and they make the perfect bubbly to bring to any gathering. Crisp, clean and refreshing...the ideal accompaniment for sushi or charcuterie. Not huge fans of the whites, but their sparkling is a tremendous value and should be enjoyed weekly!

We had a BBQ in our day the other day (on of those rare London summer evenings) and one of the…read moreguests brought wines and ginger beer, which he'd purchased at this cute little store on Archway Road. I really liked the ginger beer and so on my next trip to HIghgate Wood, I stopped by at this place and had a look at their collection myself...and I really liked what I saw: a perfectly well stocked deli/wine store that serves different functions. Aside from wines, they also serve local beers & even locally distilled gins. But that's not all, they also sell bread from a local bakery and charcuterie as well as various kinds of cheeses. My tip: first go to the Archway Video store next door and pick a good movie. Then come to Zelas and buy some delicacies that pair well with the movie ;-)

Well thank goodness the music stopped after a few minutes because it would have felt almost…read morewelcoming. Aside from being genuinely cold (14°c-ish), the reception similarly frosty. I've never received a more zero-syllabic service in my life. Shown to our seats, order taken and wine delivered without a word. A party of three were seated on two two-seater tables separated by a flower planter. The house red was serviceable, once it had warmed. Once each pizza had been prepared, we were able to watch it cool on the side as the others cooked, until two were prepared. I was lucky enough to wait for mine, allowing the rest of my party to ¾ finish theirs, then watch me eat. The food itself was unique and tasty, using a crepe as a pizza base is an idea I fully intend to copy. This barely begins to makes up for everything else. Glacial really is the best way to sum up this restaurant, from service and reception, through to atmosphere. Thankfully the menu describes it as one-of-a-kind.
