The Lost Hour – a Pub and Restaurant | Review

[Ad- gifted experience] We were invited to take on the new vegan options at The Lost Hour, a casual pub that has pool tables, a SNES, loads of TVs showcasing sports, and a friendly atmosphere. Offering a bunch of beers on tap and fruity ciders I hadn’t even heard of before, as well as a generously sized menu full of food, this pub is a step above your average Wetherspoons. They’ve added a few vegan specials to their menu and are encouraging those doing Veganuary by offering double points for vegan purchases made by people who sign up for their rewards card called ‘more’. They are also doing 25% off low-alcohol or non-alcoholic drinks if you are doing dry January and have a card! These reward points can add up to free food or drinks at The Lost Hour. The bar staff themselves were also really lovely, which is worth a mention. They spent time asking tables if everything was good, cleaned fast and efficiently, and had good conversations at the bar. It was just a really friendly bunch! Let’s get down to the food;

A Day Out in London Bridge

*AD /Sponsored– see footnote

I’ve lived in London for a few years, but haven’t actually ever gone to a specific area to spend time and explore! Dann and I went out to the London Bridge area, with a budget in our pockets, looking to do whatever we stumbled upon. It was a long day out, and we ended up doing a mix of tourism and finding smaller gems that are within the area. If you want to do a day out in the London Bridge area, but unlike us, don’t live nearby, there are loads of hotels near the Shard to pick from.

A Day Out at Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland is a big, Christmas themed event that comes to Hyde Park in London each and every year. This year, Winter Wonderland runs until January 5th, bringing Christmas joy to anyone who attends. When it comes to this event, both families and individuals can really enjoy the day or night out, as there is something for everyone. Winter Wonderland has free entry, however all of the rides, attractions, food and games do cost (about as much as most London events cost). There are a bunch of DJ/Music stages that you can walk to and enjoy, as well as cosy indoor bars.

We’ve gone twice this year, once with the entire family and a second time as a little couples date. The first time we went, with the kids in tow, we were more focused on rides, games that did indeed allow us to take home a prize and seeing Santa. Winter Wonderland is divided into a bunch of different areas; the first thing we did was head to Santa Land, which lets you take a photo on Santa’s sleigh, as well as talk to the big man himself and get some photos done. The building this was in had an open front, but made a lovely backdrop. We were able to get a bunch of pictures, all of which looked lovely, with both the entire family on the sled and just the children with Santa. This was a pretty magical thing for everyone involved; Santa even gave out a few small gifts.

They even had Marvel baby toys that were simply adorable.

Mezcal have very different processes when they are made, meaning that unlike tequila, they have a wider variety of aspects that comes when making them. They are made with many different agave, meaning there is more age, soil density, growing conditions, etc that are all taken into account to make different mezcals.
