Maryanne’s Favourite Restaurants/Bars in London

The Sanderson courtyard for drinks, because she believes that ‘nothing bad could ever happen there’.

The rooftop and pool at Shoreditch House – practically the only thing that can tempt Maryanne to East London.

Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley Hotel – she adores the foie gras canapés.

Cecconi’s – who could not love the Prosecco on tap?

Zuma – awesome sushi and a NY-style buzz.

Hummingbird Bakery – to indulge her occasional cravings for red velvet cupcakes.

The Breakfast Room at The Lexington – the staff at Logan’s hotel know exactly how Maryanne likes her eggs (soft boiled with Poilane toast points).

Scott’s Oyster Bar – 75 calories for a dozen oysters means Maryanne lunches here frequently.

Automat – Sometimes Maryanne gets a craving for the food of her childhood, and when she does, she heads straight here.

Tom Aikens – Maryanne loves the langoustine risotto here, and they now know her so well they even deliver.
