Poetry in the most civilised bar in town

Readings of Blake and Millligan to the accompaniment of glasses of Bolly and the most delectable imaginable tiny cottage pies, "shots" of lobster and egg, and the most perfect lemon goujons. Where but London's only privately owned and run 5* The Goring that delights in the quirky and whimsical spliced with opulence would you find the owner Jeremy Goring and the ebullient Managing Director David Morgan Hewitt most eloquently reciting in a private dress rehearsal in readiness for a month of "Rhyme with Reason" each evening in April. at 7pm The bar's surroundings are suitably lavish courtesy of designer Tim Gosling: hand-sprayed red lacquer walls and a daring tiger rug and a roaring fire. I love the idea that through April poems will relate to special events which happened around that day for example "The Elephant by Hillaire Beloc to mark the arrival in April 1796 of the first elephant ever seen in the USA from India.
