Perfect Sunday

 

Yesterday I headed to the uber cool and newly (ish) opened vegan hot spot Farmacy for Sunday lunch. I was sceptical about going as I don’t like following the crowd and anything over hyped – it usually means that it’s full of hanger ons and wannabes and not all that good. But with Farmacy I was beyond impressed. The service was kind and hospitable (which is more than I can say for other so called him places cough cough *Joe and the Juice please stop hiring arrogant wannabe model 18 year old guys who make everyone feel uncomfortable and unwelcome*) and the setting was uplifting filled with natural light and people having a great time. We had to wait 10 minutes for a table for two which isn’t all that bad considering we rocked up at 1pm on a Sunday and there was plenty space at the beautiful bar to wait. I ordered a beetroot juice labeled Witches Brew (yes I may have been swayed by the name) which I promptly knocked over and spilt all over myself, the floor and fellow diners, it looked as though there had been a serious injury with deep red liquid seeping everywhere. Mortified we were shown to our table and I was reassured that it happens all the time (not buying that one though).

We ordered an Earth bowl (him) and a vegan burger (me). The food arrived promptly and I was super impressed with how delicious and filling a meat less burger could be. The ambience was just perfect, buzzing but not overly loud and the playlist soon let me forget about the beetroot juice incident. All in all I will be requesting that all my future press breakfasts and lunches are at Farmacy and I may even rock up there with my laptop on a nice afternoon to work whilst treating myself to an almond milk hot chocolate or two in the coming Autumn months.

For the occasion I wore quite possibly my favourite Summer buy – this off the shoulder maxi from River Island, because it’s long and lean and shows off the clavicle and also allows you to eat your body’s weight in veggie burger. I added a little Nasty Gal jacket and Isabel Marant wannabe boots (purchased in 2011/12 from ASOS) and my little Louis Vuitton nano noe (which got soaked in Beetroot gate but made a miraculous recovery and not one stain in sight – phew)  I whacked my two day old hair in a pony and popped on a bit of MAC whirl and left my eyes totally bare. All in all, it was a lovely afternoon!
