Welcome back to The Go-To Weekend, your ultimate guide to making the most of your days off. Hosted by Sunday Times deputy food editor Hannah Evans and Foodism deputy editor Molly Codyre, we’re here delivering the hottest tips on where to go, what to eat, and what not to miss this weekend—all with a sharp eye, a raised glass, and zero tolerance for nonsense.

This week, we’re diving into the wild world of Nobu—the restaurant that’s been a celebrity magnet for decades. With its first Manchester outpost now open, we look back at its star-studded history, iconic black cod miso (a staggering 538,000 portions sold annually), and the A-listers who’ve made it their second home.

Then, it’s onto Hollywood’s latest disaster: the Snow White remake. Between casting controversies, political tensions, and some seriously brutal reviews, we ask—has Disney finally lost the plot?

Back in the food world, we take on the latest pantry essential: Bold Beans. Are they worth the £4 price tag, and more importantly, can you handle the, er, side effects? And we head to Borough Market to unpack how it’s changed, whether it’s still a place for locals, and which vendors are actually worth your time.

With Borough on the mind, we sit down with chef Elliot Hashtroudi to talk about his restaurant Camille, the highs and lows of the industry, and why government support for restaurants is seriously lacking.

And of course, we wrap things up our things to eat, drink and do this weekend, Hannah’s birthday plans, some hilarious food mishaps. Grab a drink, get comfortable, and let’s make the most of the weekend.
