EDITOR'S LETTER

A pub doing interesting Irish cocktails, a bakery with amazing chocolate and muscovado cookies and a great döner  are among the recommendations in this weekend's My Manor on Walthamstow from chef Seamus Sam.

We've also got a great new place for a Sunday lunch and, as it's promised lovely all weekend, if you can't make it down to the seaside these waterfront restaurants are the next best thing here in London.
