The Hilton

This weekend I was down in London for fashion week as my sister won a competition and wanted me to go with her and I happily obliged of course!
The highlight of the weekend for me were the parts involving food obviously as I'm not really a fashionista but luckily for me there was plenty of lovely food for me to enjoy.

There was delicious canopes courtesy of M&S at the fashion show itself plus the next day, I visited the wonderful Borough market - a must for me whenever I'm in London.

There was free champagne, chocolate dipped strawberries and cupcakes in our executive room. The cupcakes were beautifully moist and not overly sweet. We didn't actually drink the champagne as there was so much free champagne along with wine and mojitos at the fashion show.




A new experience for me was the Hilton's spectacular breakfast selection!
There was everything you would get on a full English plus American pancakes or dropped scones as we call them here.
Also available was loads of fruit and mini pastries like croissants and pain au chocolate, cereals, various bread for toasting, sliced cheese and ham plus smoked mackerel...loads of stuff. There was even an omelette chef there to make you an omelette however you like it!






I ate some silky smooth runny scrambled egg on toast with mushrooms and smoked fish and a small dollop of beans plus a pancake and some cheese.
Strange combination I know but I didn't eat it all at the same time so its alright really. I went back for a bowlful of fruit and a couple of pastries and also took a couple of free marmite and a nutella and two little jars of jam as souvenirs!

It would be great to have such variety every breakfast time!
