With National Yorkshire Pudding Day approaching on Sunday 1st February, our chef Anthony Garlando – no stranger to making British classics, but also a perfectionist – enlisted the help of a true expert to ensure that his Yorkshires are the best they can be: our General Manager John Wiltshire’s mum, Jean!
Jean and John’s dad Godfrey were visiting London and took the time to visit aqua shard to share Jean’s recipe – actually Godfrey’s mother’s recipe, so it’s been in the family for generations! – and some helpful tips for making perfect Yorkshires.

When we wanted a super-scary pumpkin designed for Hallowe’en we knew straight away who we were gonna call – the creative kids at Ben Jonson School’s Magic Breakfast club, who we first met when they helped us to celebrate our first birthday back in July.
A competition ran at breakfast club during October to draw the scariest face and the winner, Ridwan, and two runners up Summayah and Fatih (a third runner-up, Saif, sadly couldn’t come) joined us during half-term for afternoon tea and the grand unveiling of Ridwan’s pumpkin, brought to life by the clever team in the kitchen!

Whether or not you believe that St George really slew a dragon with his lance, or think it’s odd that a (probably) Greek soldier in the Roman army is somehow patron saint of England, we’ll still be marking the Feast of St George with a very special menu that flies the flag for England’s finest produce.
Today is St Patrick’s Day, also known as Lá Fhéile Pádraig or the Feast Of St Patrick, so what better way to celebrate than with a fine Irish feast? March 17th is widely accepted as being the date on which Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, died in 461, and has been celebrated in Ireland and around the world ever since. Falling during Lent, fasting requirements are lifted for the day, hence its association with being a day for big parties and indulgence!
