We like what they do at Canteen. They source their ingredients as locally as possible and they believe in simple, honest food that tastes of what it is. In the designs and furniture of their restaurants they aim to celebrate British craftsmanship, and they specialise in bringing great traditional British food back to life too...

You may never have heard of Piers Faccini, but you’ve probably heard of people who are fans of his. Jack Johnson, for instance, or Ben Harper. If you’re into your African music, you’ll have heard of people he’s toured and performed with, like Amadou and Mariam or kora player Ballake Sissoko. And that will begin...

To celebrate the season we present a little soundtrack for summer picked by our friend Robert Elms, writer, DJ, broadcaster and sharp dresser. He’s selected plenty of classic soul, stirred in some new wave raucousness, made sure there are enough chilled tunes… and added a hint of summer storms. You can play the selection here on...
