No pressure
I caught up with Liz and Natasha over a few watermelon martinis at Eclipse recently. I admitted how appallingly I’d behaved with Hot Danish because he had to take work home with him at the weekend – my excuse is that it was my time of the month. ‘You always work. All I do is cook crap meals for you,’ I ranted. ‘You promised to have sex with me last night.’ Then I complained that he put his friends before me, too. I was being ridiculous – he’d …
Bumpkin Notting Hill
Open Mon–Fri 11am–11pm, Sat–Sun 9am–11pm

What is this summer’s must-have piece?
Our new Eclipse Rainbow rings are great for the summer. With fiery yellow and orange sapphires, purple amethysts and exotic green tsavorites, they will bring a splash of colour to your summer jewellery wardrobe. I also love the new Alphabet tags – a modern interpretation of a classic theme with a vintage feel.

Rossopomodoro
… has been open two years and expanded nine months ago, taking over what was next door’s the Eclipse bar (plans are currently afoot to expand the basement area).
There are several rooms featuring exposed brickwork, rather cramped wooden tables and bright paintings depicting scenes of Naples by a Neopolitan artist. Yes, there is a theme: all ingredients are grown and produced in – even the flour and water to make the pizza dough comes from – the Campania region of Italy.
