On Monday evening, Alice & I popped over to No.10 for a bit of a shindig.
Mr Cameron very kindly hosted a pre-party for the 50 Best Restaurant Awards, to celebrate some of Britain's best & most sustainable restaurants.
The event tied in with their brilliant social media campaign based around the idea of GREAT Britain & great British food. (If that sounds like your sort of thing, check out the video here. It's very good.)
Of course, there was lots of silly posing by the door... but come on, it's all part of the experience!
As it was an event for GREAT Britain, I thought it only fitting that I wrap myself in a great British designer's creation so I went for a classic Burberry trench.
The rest of the outfit is a little more Euro friendly... Zara dress & shoes teamed with red Prada (this one).
Red, white & blue, baby!
Of course all of the boys had great fun playing 'Budget' with my handbag...
The gorgeous Alice of Street Style Stalker had me green with envy.
Head to toe in Burberry Prosum, she wowed us all!
Unfortunately I took very few photos inside, not even of the wonderful canapés from The Ledbury.
Bad blogger, I know.
Thankfully I was able to steal this little snap of Tom, Henry & I. They're the wonderful boys behind "The Fabulous Baker Brothers" a great show & cookbook which I highly recommend.
No.10 have also released this little sneak peek of the event itself:
Well, seeing as we weren't going to be winning any awards, cocktails seemed like a much better idea.
I met some of my culinary heroes and made some wonderful new friends. (Andrei has written a much better blog post with a list of some of the people we ran into.)
It was one of the best nights I've had in a long time.
Of course, if you follow me on Instagram, you'll already know all of this, but thanks for sticking around anywhoo!
'I like the base base base the buttery biscuit base' is all I hear in my head everytime I see him now! You look beaut, natch.

They must be gearing up their social media presence big style.
Good for you.
As an utter ad thorough true blue I was so excited to see you in front of the famous glossy black door of Number 10 again. This event must have been absolutely phenomenal! I am positively shaking with envy! You looked really lovely, and adored Alice's Burberry coat!

Jealous you met Gregg Wallace, he comes across as really funny on Masterchef!
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious with the bag! Oh I really loved the Baker boys show, so much more appealing on all levels than the Hairy Bikers!
ReplyDeleteNumber 10 always reminds my of the Tardis - it looks quite small on the outside but is huge on the inside! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Rose, I have a quick question if that is alright... I was just wondering if you watch, or have ever watched, The Great British Menu? If so, I would be very interested to know if you are a fan?
ReplyDeleteSorry to pry, it is just that I adore that programme and thought it might be something you would enjoy.
Thank you,
Emily Jayne xx

ReplyDeleteWhat does it mean to "play budget"? Is this a British thing perhaps?
ReplyDeleteGreat post! You are very lucky to have the opportunity to attend such exciting events.
