Easter Sunday is surrounded with a basket-load of great things to do in London. Today we’re concentrating on food & drink, naturally. Whether you plan to get some special Easter-inspired cocktails in your weekend; or feast on an incredibly eggcentric afternoon tea; here are some great spots in London that are going all-out for Easter that you should join in on too!
THE EASTER BUNNY HOPS INTO WRINGER + MANGLE
This year, London Fields’ latest edition to the drinking and dining scene Wringer + Mangle, has created a unique and delicious chocolate egg cocktail, The Easter Bunny’s Gift. Featuring every rabbit’s favourite, carrot juice, it is guaranteed to make you hop for joy.
This one-off drink contains spiced rum, cream, cinnamon syrup, carrot juice, grand mariner and orange zest. To top it off, the cocktail served in a chocolate egg, so you can consume the whole lot. Nice!

RABBIT & THE SHED CREATE A RUSSIAN EASTER
Chelsea hotspot Rabbit and their sister restaurant, The Shed, will be creating a traditional Russian Easter delicacy – Paskha, great for those who are bored of chocolate eggs (if that’s even a possibility) or for those who just want to try a little something different. Made with velvety custard, this is a treat that goes perfectly with The Gladwin’s home-made hot cross buns.
Paskha originates from Eastern Orthodox countries and is made using food forbidden during Lent including the main ingredient tvorog, eggs, vanilla, almonds and raisins are also in the mix. The Gladwins will be offering a combination of this Russian rarity and their favourite English Easter indulgence – hot cross buns to all customers.
