Whether it’s a creamy berry quinoa parfait or a mediterranean morning scramble washed down with an avo-shake, power breakfasts are all the rage. Long gone are the days when Del Trotter could classify as a young urban professional.

If the wheeler dealer from Peckham were to try and fit in with the health-conscious business men and women of the 21^st century he would struggle.

Coming out of lockdown and returning to normal, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) need to play their part in helping the UK achieve net-zero emissions. However, a report carried out by a coalition of top business groups, energy networks, and expert bodies reported that many don’t know how they can cut their carbon emissions, are unsure where to start, don’t know where they can get help, and don’t have time to research a net-zero strategy. Furthermore, SMBs need such a strategy to be financially viable.

Imagine soaking in the dazzling sun in your new bandeau bikini, your hair dancing in rhythm with the sea breeze, and your heart skipping a beat to the next chapter of your compelling book until—

—your phone goes on a buzzing spree. You feel the urge to check your notifications, which then turns into a long afternoon of email replies, Facebook comments, and Instagram DMs. But isn’t the main purpose of a holiday to calm your mind and recover from the digital sensory overload we’re constantly exposed to?

After the turbulence that many people have experienced during the pandemic, coming together as a family is more important than ever.

Tea—the quintessentially British drink that we love so much so that 100 million cups are drank daily, translating to almost 36 billion per year.

Celebrate the opening of Sleazy Pizza with the sleazy street party, taking place just off Brick Lane on Dray Walk, next to Cafe 1001. The sleazy street party will be a quirky opening party hosting free pizza for all, DJ’s, drag performers, live saxophonists, outdoor bar, giveaways and some sleazy (temporary) tattoos in the courtyard outside the restaurant. You’ll also have the chance to be featured on the money shot wall! The party kicks off on Friday, November 12th from 6pm and run until late, with free ‘Friends With Benefits’ Membership cards given away throughout. All of the above is to honour the launch of Sleazy Pizza, a back to basics yet fun pizza restaurant that takes the snobbiness out of pizza but still retains the high-quality ingredients. The restaurant isn’t afraid of a pun or two, with some pizzas named after famous adult films from the past (Debbie Does Diavola is the sequel we never thought we needed). The walls will be plastered with custom movie posters with some other surprises to keep the fun in the building whilst waiting in the 40 capacity seating space. The launch party is free to attend, with free pizza whilst pumping some fun back to Brick Lane. Further information HERE

If you are interested in coming to launch party or would like to come and check out the pizza another time, fill in details HERE.

The pizzas will be lovingly crafted in the authentic wood-fired method, think thin crust with superb mouth-watering ingredients.

With their tongue pressed firmly in their cheek, the team behind Sleazy have gone in with a fully themed menu, where you can warm up with a fluffer before devouring a 12” dream. There’s something for all pizza persuasions, whether you fancy a slice of ‘Morning Glory’ (how do you like your eggs in the morning? Perfectly cooked on a white base with pine nuts, mozzarella and spinach? You’re in luck) a nibble on a ‘Naughty Napoletana’ or go ‘X-Rated’ with an nduja sausage, black olives and red onion combo. They’ll also be offering vegetarian options and vegan cheese will be available on all pizzas.

Luca, Founder of Sleazy Pizza says “During the last lockdown an opportunity arose to open a pizza shop at Truman Brewery and given my Italian heritage I couldn’t say no. My father Piero ran an Italian restaurant as I was growing up so I’ve grown up in Sicilian kitchens with fresh ingredients I understood the importance of quality food but we didn’t just want a traditional pizzeria like most others. After looking around for what else is on offer we found a lot of brands lack any identity and we wanted an exciting and memorable pizza place that can have a bit fun with itself so our dirty-minded eatery Sleazy Pizza was born. Luckily we were also able to hire an amazing chef Danilo whose hometown is just outside Napoli (the home of pizza) and he’ll be tossing out “12inch dreams” for free on our launch event!”

During the street party, free pizza will be flying out from the oven. People are recommended to come with an open mind to find their new favourite flavours! DJ’s will be playing some dirty disco beats and sultry slow jams with drag performers causing a ruckus throughout until late. The evening will be injected with some seedy brass from a live saxophonist and an outside bar keeping everyone stocked up. The ‘Money Shot Wall’ is on hand for those who want to immortalise themselves with a sleazy selfie, and temporary tattoos will give people a chance to bring something back with them other than a hangover.

Sleazy Pizza is not the average pizza restaurant, filled to the brim with naughty puns, tasty wood-fired pizza and enough adult laughs to keep people coming back for more. Opening from November 12th, this cheeky pizza play space may just have a few surprises left in store.

Back in 2016, a report from McKinsey showed that a typical company’s supply chain accouted for 80 per cent of its greenhouse-gas emissions. But not only is the impact on the environment severe, but it can also lead to financial issues for companies who don’t take action to be more sustainable.

INTERNATIONAL HOSPITALITY CONSULTANCY LAUNCHES IN THE UK TO ENHANCE THE PERFORMANCE & PROFITABILITY OF FOOD & BEVERAGE VENUES POST-LOCKDOWN

CACI, the consumer and location intelligence specialist, has revealed the scale of demand for staycations in the UK this Summer. The research highlights there will be a significant boost to coastal towns across the country, which are set to benefit most from the upturn in UK holidaymakers as staycations continue to dominate this year.

With hospitality opening up all over the world, the hotel industry’s recovery and employment opportunities are accelerating. Anyone considering a career in hotel management will inevitably be aware of roles in head office, as general manager or in individual departments such as marketing or finance. However, there is also a whole world out there in terms of jobs which many young people starting out in education may not have considered because they are not as visible.

On Thursday 1 July, European Picota cherries were delighted to host an exclusive trade event at Grosvenor House Hotel in Mayfair, London to mark the return of European Picota cherries to the UK for their short season that runs until August.

With the fashion industry constantly innovating the latest seasonal tastes and trends, it’s not easy to keep up with the next best thing all the time. However, one fashion staple that could never be replaced is jeans. Renowned for being the ultimate go-to provider of both comfort and style, we have seen jeans take many different shapes and designs throughout the years. So much so, the concept of jeans has even been combined with the ease of leggings in recent years too, and demand for jeggings has hit the fashion industry by storm.

When it comes to food and nutrition, there’re many things we think we know are facts that are well and truly false. Many of these myths stem back to what we were told when we were young to make sure we ate what we were given. Speaking of which, how cool is it that carrots help you see in the dark? (Got you — they can’t).
