Diamonds Are Forever at Clos Maggiore
Clos Maggiore, voted London’s most romantic restaurant, will be living up to its reputation by treating couples celebrating their Diamond Wedding anniversaries to complimentary dinners. Those who can prove they walked down the aisle in 1952 will enjoy a fabulous four-course menu featuring produce from the royal estate at Windsor Park and perfectly-paired wines. But those who haven’t reached the milestone can they can still enjoy the menu for just £38 per person (£62 with perfectly-paired wines).

Majestic Mayfair
As the Queen celebrates 60 years at the top, so does the renowned Guinea Grill in Mayfair. To mark its milestone, diners booking on any Friday and Saturday in June will be treated to a modern-day take on the original ‘no menu’ that made the pub famous back in the day (which featured a plate of salmon followed by a choice of steak from those hanging in the pub). In homage to the original offering, the four-course Jubilee dinner features a welcome glass of champagne, a starter of Scottish smoked salmon, a main of Aberdeenshire sirloin, and a dessert of strawberries and cream followed by coffee and petit fours.
