From travels in Cuba and life’s biggest celebrations, to my very own kitchen, it’s time to talk mojitos!
Some of you may have noticed my Instagram profile states I’m “happiest when holding a mojito”. It’s true. When I think back over the years, many of my most elated moments have come with the classic Cuban cocktail in my hand.
With its menu of Italian small plates, excellent flavour combinations and candle-lit, relaxed ambience, Polpo is one of my favourite options for a casual dinner in London.
I’ll admit I’ve been to Polpo a few times before. The Soho restaurant is in my top five when it comes to tasty food that won’t break the bank.

With several branches in London plus another in Brighton, something is clearly working. Polpo’s creator Russell Norman’s formula is all about stripped-down interiors, flickering candles, exposed brickwork, and weathered furnishings. It’s not stiff or polished, quite the opposite in fact, and that’s what makes the experience so comfortable.
The top things to do in Amersham include visiting gourmet restaurants and charming cafes, enjoying the historic architecture and going on some beautiful walks too.
