Hive Health

It’s that time of year for us here where we finish quick sharpish at 5.30 and head up to Regents Park for the annual Taste of London pilgrimage.

Its a great night, and we would recommend anyone remotely foodie heading there, loading up on crowns (the TofL currency), and chowing down.

Favourite Hive dishes included Fino‘s Suckling pig, Club Gascon’s Octopus and scallops, and the Yauatcha‘s Dim Sum were mind blowing. As usual Atul Kothhur’s (Benares) Lamb chops were a destination for us all. Minty pleasure.

Also consumed on mass was Sussex Champagne NyeTimber which still kicks the ass of all the French pretenders present, and as always Chapel Down’s, vintage Reserve Brut and accompanying oysters proved a great starting point.

This year saw 25 of us from agency and client side hit the stands hard. We were also joined by two of our new recruits midway through their notice periods who excelled in their first hive experience.

Fuelled by foie gras and bubbles the resulting bag a celebrity chef  photograph competion kicked off. The winners being the boys who managed to bag Gary ‘Lamb’ Rhodes  in what I am sure you will agree is a good side profile poise by Gary.
