It could be you…

If I wasn’t so damn rigorously honest (and such an inept liar) I’d try and nobble these competitions, as look at the prize we have got our hands on now! Not content with redefining “the concept of quintessential British cuisine”, Corrigans of Mayfair have managed to pack their delectable delights into a hamper so that all and sundry of refined taste can enjoy the Corrigan’s experience al fresco and in a field/garden/park/open prison of your own personal preference.

Yes homiez, we have one prize of a luxury picnic basket (packed with country terrine, sliced roast beef, honey glazed gammon and freshly cooked breads, seasonal berries and luscious lemon curd) to send in the direction of one lucky Qyper.

If you want to bag this prize and scoff to trot, then get your entry in using any of these three easy ways:

1. Email us with the subject line: “I’m a basket case!”

2. Tweet us with the phrase: “Hey @QypeDoesLondon and @Corrigans, You Can Call Me Al Fresco”

3. ‘Like’ the Facebook post.

If you fail to win, hampers available in two tiers (costing £45 or £75) can be ordered on this number: 0207 499 9943. Competition closes Tuesday 6th July, 9.00am.

Fancy a chance to catch up with Woody, Buzz and all their Toy Story pals? There’s a preview of Toy Story 3 in 3D at the Apollo Cinema Regent Street on Thursday the 8th of July with room for a couple of dozen Qypers to crash this free screening of what’s already the #1 movie of the summer in the States. And for the ultimate big screen experience, we’ll be watching this latest Pixar hit in glorious Sony 4K resolution.

Apollo Cinemas is the only cinema company in the UK to install Sony 4K end-to-end 4K projection system as standard. Sony 4K offers cinema-goers a quadruple increase in resolution over the same-old-same-old 2K. 4K has already won commitment from Hollywood, with big names like Peter Jackson, Ridley Scott and Tim Burton using the 4K format for their films.

The evening will get underway at 6.30pm with a beer and wine reception and a quick intro by some Sony folk. The movie will start at 7.30. Cinema snacks will be provided and you can be on your merry way by 9.30.

Keen? Chime in here at the Qypers Love Events forum.

All we are saying, is give Qype a chance…

How was it? I hear you ask, considering the tube strike, glorious weather and England pulling a helping of World Cup second round progression out of the bag. Well I am overjoyed to report that our night at The Old School Yard was about as good as good gets, without transgressing any laws or moral codes that is.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Mickael Perron

The folks from ‘my kind of phone’ were all there bright and early, we set up downstairs in the pleasantly airy basement and then as we awaited our guests, set about quaffing some of Mickael Perron’s amazing array of cocktails. Fresh, flavour-packed and as fruity as Danny La Rue. His own personal cocktail corner, as well as being stocked to the brim with every possible ingredient you can imagine, is awash with enough vintage curious knicks and knacks to keep David Dickinson going for decades.

The whole venue is immense, with a team of welcoming and friendly staff and an owner that excels as a host. So, we mingled in the back garden and scoffed a juicy selection of burgers and hot dogs from the BBQ, then headed downstairs to let the gaming begin. As well as the classic and retro games, a rather hotly contested Windows Phone competition kicked off; here is the eventual winner…

The Winner!

The sign of a good night is not just the size of the crowd, but how long they linger. Last night our guests lingered long. And gamed hard.

One happy owner.
