Mews Of Mayfair is the happening nightspot in Town currently…cool places come and go but I think this one is here to last.

Located in Lancashire Mews just off New Bond Street and situated in two converted mews houses over three floors,Mews offers a cocktail bar,lounge and restaurant ( smoking permitted in the bar)

I was surprised to see some old friends at the door who used to work at The Atlantic bar …and had a feeling this place would be cool.

The decor is chic and the service too attentive for words…well done Mews….very impressive.

Food and wine were excellent and the splendid meal was finished off with a bottle of Recioto della Valpolicella 1995…expensive at £95 a bottle but a sublime drink:-)

I have a feeling I’ll be back

Off to my La Casa del Habano this week to restock the shop with some rare Cuban antiques and photos…and herf some with the 3Amigos herf crew.

Happy birthday to my partner Zanetta Wolters ( 2nd February)…21 again !

Smoking ban looms large for July 1st sadly ( and pathetically) and our herfing friends in Cornwall are planning a “Last Gasp ” herf on the 30th June weekend….should be fun.

Havana Festival time draws near….I’ll be at the Hotel Nacional as ever and am looking forward to the gala Festival dinner on the 2nd March.

Best smoky wishes from freezing London
