With an impressive food menu, ranging from lemon and chilli chicken wings to delicious aged steak burgers, Hip Hop Brunch hope to add a Southern feel to your Saturday afternoons.

For a truly unusual experience in London, head to San Daniele and take part in Eat Grub, a supper club revolving around eating insects. The masterminds behind Eat Grub have teamed up with Seb Holmes to create a number of thai-inspired dishes, all created using insects.

Terrible singing and shoddy dance moves are welcome.
