Pan Asian restaurant, Tamarai, has been voted “best pan Fusion Food in London” by The Evening Standard. But it is so much more than a restaurant.

Like the Lotus flower it is named after, Tamarai adjusts from being a fine dining restaurant to a late night wine bar, complete with Video Jockey! The metamorphosis is a very clever and functional idea.
You do not have to leave after dinner to go and find a club!
If you are looking to impress your other half this Valentine’s, Tamarai is more than an ideal destination.
Manish Mehrotra, Head Chef has taken inspiration from the beauty, flavours and mysticism of the Far East to create a sumptuous and evocative Valentine’s Day Menu. The result comprises an indulgent three-course meal against a romantic and aromatic atmosphere.
If you are hungry, look away now. I am going to run through this seductive menu!

Knoll House in Dorset is a quintessentially English Hotel that oozes charm and character. Since it was Enid Blyton’s favourite hotel it’s not surprising that this is a place for children to have old fashioned adventures with a pirate ship in the garden and the beautiful beach of Studland Bay within walking distance. A trip to the beach begs for ginger pop and slabs of Madeira cake. It’s the kind of place that….well your parents would be proud of and your kids need duffle coats to look the part.
Knoll House is definitely unique. Widely regarded as ‘Britain’s original Family friendly hotel’, it owes its charm to the Ferguson family, proprietors for 80 years and guardians of Knoll’s inimitable style.
