At D&M site the Refinery, Bankside, customers are being encouraged to take selfies of themselves and their friends on the site’s ‘Selfie Sofa’ with provided selfie sticks from 5 – 12 May.
Customers who share their selfies on social media with the hashtag #selfiesofa @therefinerybar will then be up for the chance to win a brunch for the group worth £250.
Brunching out
The new brunch offer was created by executive chef Robert Mitchell and will be available at the Refinery, Bankside, the Fable, Farringdon, the Parlour, Canada Square and city sites the Happenstance, the Folly and the Drift.
The menu features a selection of all-day breakfast style dishes such as eggs benedict and ‘gourmet’ bacon sandwiches as well as ‘heartier’ options such as a Wagyu beef burger with blue cheese and tomato chutney, Scotch egg with piccalilli and two roasts with a choice of beef or chicken.
Drinks
The group has also introduced a range of four new variations on the Bloody Mary and a selection of ‘Springtime Sips’ including the Mimosa NYC; with prosecco, orange juice, kumquat shrub and kwai feh lychee, the Brit Sprits; with Kamm & Sons, Chapel Down, elderflower and soda and the Beauty of the Orient; with Ketel One, vermouth, mint green tea, coriander and pomegranate molasses.
