Formerly the Dell Cafe, the Serpentine Bar & Kitchen on the eastern edge of the Serpentine in Hyde Park has been given a facelift and is now run by Ben and Hugo Warner, of Benugo fame. These two have already transformed the restaurant at the BFI and, from April 2009, they're bringing their winning formula to this lake side eaterie. Helpfully, the idyllic setting has already been done for them. After a pedallo on the lake or (if you're brave) a swim in the lido, you can stop here for meals at any time of day from breakfast to lunch and on to tea and cake. The restaurant's elegantly undulating roof, built in 1965, remains and it's a joy to sit facing the water, watching the ducks which are easily visible through the west-facing wall made entirely of glass.
