Dine at Dorothy and Marshall
Big, tasty things have put Bromley Town Hall firmly on the foodie map this winter. In the dining room of the Grade II-listed building – once the old courthouse – it’s all about celebrating seasonal British flavours. Local chef Ralph Jones is in charge of the kitchen, cooking up a menu promising treacle for both mains and pud (yes, really!). We’re talking a steaming dish of braised beef short rib with Guinness and black treacle, followed by a dessert of Golden Tate and Lyle treacle tart with raspberries topped with whipped almond clotted cream. Start the year as you mean to go on, eh? Dorothy and Marshall, 4 Court Street, Bromley BR1 1AN. Opening in November, hours TBD.

Manifest your dreams for 2023
Feeling spiritual? The Old Royal Naval College is hosting a ‘Full Moon Manifesting Ritual’ led by Roxy Maronne from wellness hub House of Roxy. Against the backdrop of artist Luke Jerram’s striking installation ‘Museum of the Moon’, which is hanging in the Painted Hall this winter, the workshop invites a small group to ‘manifest’ a positive 2023 through breath-work and mind-shifting techniques. It sounds a bit airy-fairy, we know, but what have you got to lose? Bring your own yoga mat and warm clothing – it’s chilly in there – and stick around for a chat over some ginger and turmeric kombucha following the session. Old Royal Naval College, King William Walk, London SE10 9NN. January 7, 5.15pm – 8pm. Admission: £38.
