Absurd Bird

John Lewis have a roof garden on top of their Oxford Street store and it's decorated all prettily for Christmas.

It was sunset when we arrived and the view over London was so pretty.

Though there was an indoor bar, we decided to sit outside with blankets and sip on winter warmers.

I had a Mulled Negroni with lots of spices, star anise and orange slices.

I was feeling quite festive after our cocktails, so we popped down to the Christmas shop to look at the baubles. They had a wall covered in a rainbow of baubles with every imaginable colour.

We met up with Faheem and went for hot chocolate at Choccywoccydoodah, who have a cosy little cafe above their chocolate shop.

I had the salted caramel hot chocolate topped with salted caramel buttons, whipped cream and a stroopwafel.

We then went for dinner at Absurd Bird in Soho, a chicken shop that I'd been guaranteed did good veggie burgers.

They make their own Moonshine and it was cocktail hour, so we tried the Kentucky Barn Dance with Apple & Cinnamon moonshine topped with apple cider and a Hill Billy Ice Tea.

We went for one of the Black Bean & Sweet Potato BirdLESS burgers with sriracha mayo and a side of fried pickles.
