Summer has a way of sending everyone in different directions. This year, the Glassette team is scattered across an alpine lake in Austria, an old town in the Algarve, a quiet corner of Devon, and the Italian Riviera. No grand theme, no single destination - just the places we've actually booked, the reasons we picked them, and a few recommendations worth saving for your own trip. Here's where we're going.

Glassette Team's Summer Holidays

Cannes 2026 has been a festival of quiet surprises the anticipated prestige titles arriving to polite applause while the real heat has come from unexpected corners: a WWI friendship drama of unusual tenderness, a Hamaguchi that earns admiration if not always love, Mungiu transplanted to a Norwegian fjord with all his discomfort intact, a Korean horror master making his case for the main competition, a Nigerian Mrs Dalloway that turns out to be one of the year's most seductive films, and an internet comedian who walked into Un Certain Regard and walked out with a $17 million A24 deal. Here are the six films you need to know about.

Put the kettle on and spend five minutes with Holly Middleton-Joseph, head chef and director of Hausu in Peckham, and you quickly sense that cooking, for her, is rooted in instinct, heritage and honesty. Raised across cultures, with Chinese and Trinidadian roots woven into everything she makes, she came up through some of London's most respected kitchens before stumbling, almost accidentally, into a restaurant of her own.
After a phone call out of the blue and a month of building something from scratch on a shoestring, Hausu was born - and with it, a DIY spirit that still runs through every corner of the place. Now a National Restaurant Awards Rising Star, Holly reflects on cooking without a label, the new late-night bar upstairs, and why the food always has to feel true to her first.

The Rising Star Behind Peckham's Best-Kept Secret

Whether you're after a lazy long lunch, golden-hour wine, or a proper feast under the open sky, the capital's outdoor dining scene delivers. From canal-side spots in Hackney to buzzy terraces in Soho and neighbourhood gems scattered across the city, we've rounded up the very best restaurants for eating outside in London, because table selection matters just as much as what's on the menu.
