William Curley 5 course desert bar

If you're looking for a classy little place to celebrate, the William Curley desert bar in Belgravia should be a contender on your list. Although we had to wait for quite a while, we were lucky to sit at the actual bar rather than at tables which I highly recommend since you can see how they prepare everything.

The concept itself is very original - a set 5 course menu of different deserts with a drink or glass of champagne. When the little plates come up, a knowledgeable chef will inform you of the ingredients and aim of the desert. Sounds very scientific but I promise you the chocolate and vanilla will make it all very simple!

Some appetisers while you wait?

Rhubarb sorbet

Hazelnut ice-cream on crushed amaretti biscuits

Vanilla panna cotta with pineapple coated in a lime syrup
