What To Do in London This Weekend: A Decadent Brunch & Bloody Good Sport

There’s something quietly thrilling about London at the weekend — the city exhales, the tempo shifts, and the scent of something charred, spiced, or indulgently deep-fried lingers in the air. This weekend, swap the ordinary for the exceptional with a culinary tour through some of the capital’s boldest brunch and match-day offerings.

Brigadiers: Where Brunch Comes with a Kick

In the heart of the City, Brigadiers isn’t so much a restaurant as it is a spirited celebration of Indian BBQ culture. Their weekend brunch is a riot of smoky flavours and clever indulgences. Doors open at 10am on key match days, drawing early risers with an appetite for both football and flavour.

Forget your standard eggs Benedict. Here, it’s all about the Full Indian Breakfast — a plate brimming with spiced sausages, masala beans, and the kind of eggs that make a morning memorable. For something a little sharper, the Tandoori Chicken Club Sandwich is a masterclass in char and crunch. Add two hours of free-flowing Prosecco, Cobra or curated cocktails for just £25 — because nothing pairs with a goal celebration quite like a well-timed Negroni.

The Cadogan Arms, The George, and The Hound: Three Pubs, One Playbook

If your idea of the perfect Saturday involves crisp pints, fried comfort, and a room that hums with sporting anticipation, you’re in good company. The Cadogan Arms, The George, and The Hound are throwing open their doors from 10am to host a weekend worth waking up for.

Start slow with a breakfast roll — thick-cut bacon, golden yolks, and buttered brioche — the kind of no-nonsense fuel every Londoner deserves. As kick-off approaches, the menu graduates to something altogether more indulgent. Think Beer-Battered Fish & Chips done properly, Fried Chicken Burgers stacked unapologetically high, and Chilli Cheese Toasties that demand a cold pint on the side.

From carefully pulled cask ales to sharp cocktails and respectable non-alcoholic pours, there’s something for every kind of fan — whether you're there for the scoreline or just the soundtrack.

The Verdict

Whether you’re chasing bold brunch flavours or the roar of the crowd, this weekend in London offers an embarrassment of riches. So rise early, dress well, and claim your table — good taste waits for no one.
