Celebrate Bastille Day at Brasserie Blanc with Boeuf Burger’gnon

Posted on by

Salut… and do we have a Bastille Day treat for you!

From 8-19th July, Brasserie Blanc have a special main course of pure culinary genius to help celebrate. They have transformed their top rated Boeuf Bourguignon sauce into a delicious burger aptly named ‘Boeuf Burger’gnon’ and will be serving it up to willing diners across all of their sites this month. 

We tried the twist on the traditional French dish for ourselves in the Chancery Lane branch of Brasserie Blanc slap bang in the lunchtime rush and we were blown away. A perfect blend of bold, upfront flavours of a burger balanced well with the slow cooked spices of their famous Boeuf Bourguignon served alongside some tasty skinny fries. 

We decided to start our meal with a quintessentially French dish, a cheese soufflé, which was like eating a delicious cloud.  But what I must say is that although the special, nicknamed the “dirty burger”, appears petite and unassuming at first glance, this packs the punch of a rich fillet steak. The burger itself is deliciously tender and well seasoned. The meat is top notch and the Bourguignon sauce which subtly brings it together is not overwhelming at all. We did have to get our knife and fork out for this one to break up all the components equally but the burger was not uncomfortably packed to the brim. The onion rings were well cooked and the bacon naturally salted the burger. As for the bourguignon sauce, i’m surprised it’s taken this long to come up such a concept as the two are so well suited. As for the case of Man V Food, food certainly won us over – but nicely. I definitely regretted filling up on bread for this meal but if you’re hoping for bang for your buck you will not be disappointed and you will not leave hungry. This is something that has to be tried for yourself though and we can honestly say “Bravo” to this novel and inventive treat. If you still have room for dessert, Brasserie Blanc’s summer menu is full of decadent treats that it’s hard to pick just one thing. One thing’s for sure, they’ll definitely execute it well and with a fine French finesse. 

Boeuf Burger’gnon is available from now until the 19th July at all Brasserie Blanc branches and what’s more – if you decide to dine on July 14th Bastille Day itself and are dressed in the famous red, white and blue colours of the French flag, you will get your Boeuf Burger’gnon for HALF PRICE(£7.50)

You will be foolish to miss out so make sure you make those reservations now.

FROST’S FAVOURITE: DEALS FOR THE ULTIMATE BRIDE-BOD

Posted on by

It’s classed as one of the most stressful times for women and, let’s face it, we can all see why. With all eyes on the bride (sorry to the grooms out there), she wants to look her best and not break the bank.

We’ve done some digging and found our three top deals which all brides should take advantage of. Thank us later.

TO TONE UP


Orangetheory Fitness runs highly-effective one-hour interval-based classes – comprising of treadmill, rowing and floor exercises. If it’s nice outside, sometimes they break out the weight sled in their parking lot. The workout utilises wearable heart-rate technology to help members achieve results from the inside out.

Certified coaches understand that one-size doesn’t fit all. Thanks to the wearable technology, they have real-time data at their finger-tips to provide personalised training and give class-goers the confidence to perform at their best and achieve their goals. Snazzy, eh!

Orangetheory Fitness has six studios in the UK and you can now get three classes for just £30 by visiting orangetheoryfitness.co.uk

TO GLOW UP

Every bride wants glowing skin on her wedding day and a broad stroke of highlight can often look a little fake. Try dermaplaning. The process completely removes the dead, dull skin cells at the top of the skin and leave you with glowing, fresh skin that is super, super soft. because dead skin cells are taken off during treatment, your usual skincare will penetrate deeper and have a better effect. In addition, it combats that niggly, annoying peach fuzz which you definitely don’t want to be catching the light on the those wedding photos!

Book in at Regent’s Street Aesthetics where you can currently buy packages, including a skin peel or micro-needling, from £120 https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=15220636

 

TO GLAM UP

With any wedding, the devil is in the detail and that extends to the wedding jewellery. Often accidentally left off the wedding budget but a key part to that flawless look, choosing the right jewellery will complete the outfit. David’s Bridal offers a 10% discount to its VIBs (Very Important Brides) once you’ve purchased your dress and is a great way to save some dollar pre the big day!

ContainerVille, a new initiative for London’s start-ups has been launched today by The Estate Office Shoreditch. The concept aims to attract dynamic young creatives in search of affordable work space in which to grow their entrepreneurial businesses. The unique location of this offering will allow ‘New Eastenders’ the chance to thrive amongst their peers with close proximity to vibrant Shoreditch and Hackney.

 

Start-ups looking for a home for their growing business will find no better alternative than ContainerVille, which offers rental of a whole container for £1200 per month. Made up of 30 converted storage containers on the south bank of Regent’s Canal, ContainerVille offers affordable work spaces with low rent and minimal overheads so that small businesses will be free to grow more organically. The site will be managed but the containers will offer a great deal of flexibility for their tenants.

 

Over the past weeks the containers have undergone a total fit out and emerge transformed into fully functioning spaces for up to five people per container. Individual desk spaces can be rented for £320pp per month as the minds behind ContainerVille recognise that together small firms are stronger and businesses may choose to share containers or work in partnership.

We look forward to welcoming our first tenants in the next few weeks.”
