Bus and gourmet - two words you never thought you would hear together, but the brains behind 'Bustronome' have achieved the impossible. Fine dining on board a bus. The bus seats 38 people, and takes you on a tour of London’s iconic sights, while you eat food, that frankly you would be pleased to sample at any of the top hotels. Cheffy preps downstairs, while you sit upstairs, in your own booth, absorbing the sights through the panoramic glass windows. The lighting is low, the music moody and the busboys adept at handing out the champagne.
Expect to eat your way through every one of the six delicious courses. Think Scallop carpaccio with pea shoots, languishing in a fennel vinaigrette or soup de champignon topped with a feather-light whipped cream that has just glanced at a truffle. The glasses sparkle, the wine is frankly fabulous and just in case you were worried you might lose a knife under the seat, don’t be. The plate is - wait for it - magnetic, so cutlery rests just where it is supposed to.
Every place setting includes a small ‘wand’ so if the mood takes and you really think that you would like to know something about the sights as you pass then the little gadget will fill you with information.
Even the most jaded Londoner could come away with a new insight into the tourist attractions that they have taken for granted for years.
