Step through Pippin’s and you’ll find our private garden, tucked away from the pace of Earl’s Court and adjoining the restaurant’s patio. Framed by mature trees, seasonal planting and plenty of greenery, it’s a rare pocket of calm in the city. At its heart sits our herb garden, supplying the kitchen with fresh ingredients and inspiring dishes throughout the seasons. Even the fig leaf tree earns its keep, with its leaves infused into our signature fig leaf ice cream.

We’ve teamed up with Colours of Arley on a picnic blanket that makes a strong case for doing very little, very well. The British textile studio is known for its thoughtfully crafted fabrics, woven to order in small batches at a historic Lancashire mill using natural fibres. If you find yourself at Pippin’s for a long lunch, a drink in the sunshine, or an afternoon that doesn’t need much of a plan, there’s a blanket with your name on it. Pick one up, settle beneath the trees in our garden, and enjoy the luxury of staying put. Available daily from June to September, simply collect yours in the garden or ask a member of the team.
