Farm Shop, Mayfair

"Everything at this Mayfair deli looks too pristine to have ever seen soil—we’ve considered buying the white asparagus from here as home decor. If your version of the countryside involves glamorous parties on manicured lawns, a distinct lack of bugs, and wifi—you’ll find your people in Farm Shop. There’s a hidden wine bar downstairs—for those who can’t quite get on board with the creaking and cobwebs of a countryside pub—and monochrome, abstract artwork rather than dusty old family portraits. Order the ploughman’s board and a glass of the Maid Of Bruton (from their own vineyard, naturally) while you ponder whether or not you could pull off a tweed suit." - sinead cranna
