Close your eyes! - London restaurant launch Guinness Milkshake in 'world first'

A half pint of the stout is blended with soft-serve ice-cream and put into a glass with chocolate sauce and a frosted vanilla rim with white chocolate chips.
The beverage is topped with a generous helping of whipped cream with the Guinness CrazyShake going a step further and featuring a brownie and slice of Guinness Cake on top.
The shakes launched in the restaurants which have bases in Soho and Stratford last week and are understood to be a limited time only special. View this post on Instagram

Black Tap is a New York City eatery which opened its first location in the United Kingdom last November, followed by their Stratford location which opened earlier in 2025.
The burger restaurant is known for its New-York style burger, craft beers and CrazyShake milkshakes, but have they gone a bit too far with a Guinness milkshake?
Social media food review Hot Dinners shared a glimpse at the Guinness CrazyShake, revealing that the insane shake was an 'official collab' between Black Tap and Guinness.

They advised: 'We might suggest sharing it between two people as we were ultimately defeated by the cake, but if you love your Guinness you just know you're going to have to give this a try.'
Social media users have had their say on the wacky shake with one person branding it 'absolutely criminal,' and another noting you 'would be arrested in Ireland for that.'
Others were more on board with the idea with someone commenting on a review that they 'need to try this place just wow.'

The new mum said her furniture would be getting cleaned before it gets shipped to the United Arab Emirates. Arabella then shared a photo of the view from her flat in Battersea, before sharing a photo of her empty flat. She captioned it: "Onto the next chapter," with a flag of Dubai. The reality star has always enjoyed the jetsetting lifestyle and often shares snaps of her sunkissed getaways. Just last week, Arabella showed off her incredible post-baby figure in a crochet bikini - just three months after giving birth. Last month, the new mum stunned in a white floral maxi dress with a thigh split, before sizzling in a backless mini dress. Arabella recently opened up on facing her first parenting struggle after being left home alone by her partner just days after giving birth. Confirming Billy had jetted off to work, the star revealed she'd found it "challenging" having to look after the tot on her own. Cradling Gigi in a mirror selfie, the ex of Ruben Dias declared: "One tired mumma." Pregnant Love Island star Arabella Chi shows off huge bump as she lifts weights in the gym She added: "Billy has been away for work this week which has been challenging but has also given me so much confidence in getting out the house alone. "Can't wait for another pair of hands and to have a long shower when he's home." She confirmed she was expecting shortly after she went public with her romance with Billy which The Sun revealed in September last year. They begun dating just weeks after she took part in the first ever All Stars edition of Love Island early last year. Confirming their tot's arrival at the end of May, Arabella uploaded a black and white snap of Gigi to her profile. She added the caption: "Our worlds are complete. "Gigi Harper Henty, 20/05/2025, 6.2 lbs." She was recently forced to defend herself from trolls who took aim at her showcasing her toned body within days of giving birth. Arabella had chronicled her fitness journey throughout her pregnancy and clarified that her post was a means of continuing her regular content and not to be insensitive towards women struggling with their bodies just a few days after giving birth. She said online: "I was amazed that my body did bounce back as quickly as it did and I am proud of myself." "I was proud that all that training I had done had paid off and to inspire other people that if you train safely throughout your pregnancy it does make a difference." Arabella concluded by writing: "Don't get me wrong, post partum isn't always glamorous, most days I'm covered in sick, milk, blood or poo. But it's also nice to share the small wins on here." Arabella first shot to fame on series five of Love Island in 2019. 5 Arabella showed off her post-baby body in a bikini just three months after giving birth Credit: Instagram/Arabellachi
