…to Jo Godfray who has won our incredible prize of brunch and wine for two at Pomona’s in Notting Hill.

Pomona’s summer terrace is the place to be this year, boasting Instagram-worthy vibes with its bright British florals and foliage and a brand-new Gin & Oyster Bar.

Enjoy a plate of Maldon Oysters and settle down under a canopy of fragrant wisteria with one of the bar’s gin specials. Must-tries include South Side, muddled with lemon juice, sugar and mint; a Classic G&T Twist, infusing elderflower tonic with strawberry and black pepper; Gin & Ginger, bursting with lime and ginger beer; and a classic Negroni.

Appetite whetted, peruse Pomona’s seasonal menu and indulge in one of its summery dishes, such as the dairy-free monkfish curry; grilled lobster with asparagus; or the crunchy butternut squash salad.

For those after something a little heartier, choose from the Bertha oven’s Wood & Charcoal menu with dishes such as Welsh
lamb rump with greens and goat’s curd; Chateaubriand with chunky chips to share; or Pomona’s house burger with bone marrow and bacon – pair them perfectly with a robust red or chilled beer.

Pomona’s pergola-style outdoor terrace, an oasis of white-washed decking, brightly coloured tables and vibrant cushions and upholstery, is perfect for weekend brunches, lazy afternoon lunches or after-work cocktails in the summertime sunshine. Go with friends and family or book a table for an intimate date night, set underneath twinkling fairy lights and hanging lanterns.
