‘I visited the ultimate foodie heaven at a London park and left sunburnt but smiling'
I spent my Saturday in a proper foodie paradise. Pub in the Park rolled into Gunnersbury Park for the first time, and I was there for the daytime session. If you like top-tier pub grub, decent live music and a strong cocktail under the sun, it was absolutely the place to be. This was my third time at Pub in the Park, but my first visit to this new London location. Gunnersbury turned out to be an ideal setting. Open and green, well kept, easy to get around, and just far enough from traffic to feel like a proper escape. The sun turned up too. Let's talk food. That's what you're there for. Dozens of top pubs and restaurants dishing up small-plate versions of their signature dishes, served fast but cooked with real care. The idea is you don't just have one meal – you try a few, compare notes, and eat your way across the field like a very lucky critic with no deadlines. First up for me was The Pig's Ear's crispy buttermilk chicken with coronation crème fraîche. It sounded a bit experimental but completely nailed it – crisp coating, juicy meat, and a sharp, creamy sauce that somehow didn't feel out of place. (Image: Amy Clarke) My friend picked the Madras-spiced cauliflower from Guy Ritchie's Lore of the Land. Topped with lime pickle mayo and a poppadom crunch, it had serious depth. We followed that with a chicken tortilla from Tom Kerridge's. Simple, solid, and just what we needed to reset the palate. Dishes weren't huge, but that's part of the experience. You're not sitting down to a Sunday roast. You're roaming, tasting, mixing it up. READ MORE: We caught Simon the Butcher at the fire pit stage doing a live demo. Proper knives, proper heat, and a good bit of showmanship. Over in the M&S Food Village we stumbled into a tomato cooking session, focused on Isle of Wight varieties. I had an incredible whiskey cocktail from a stand called Monkey Shoulder – strong, well balanced, and ice-cold. Plenty of craft options, wines, spirits and non-alcoholic alternatives dotted around. The music kicked off gently. I caught the end of Pandora's club classics set – think 90s and early 2000s floor-fillers. (Image: Amy Clarke) Norman Jay followed with a smooth run of soul and funk that suited the weather perfectly. Soul II Soul were the big draw, and they didn't disappoint. The field in front of the stage filled up fast, and when Back to Life dropped, everyone got involved. The crowd was spot on. A proper mix of ages. Families with kids running around the fairground rides, groups of mates chasing cocktails, couples sunbathing between sets. A few very relaxed dogs. No aggro. No posing. Just happy people eating, drinking and making the most of the sunshine. I had a VIP pass this year, which meant access to a quieter seating area, a decent view of the stage, and a couple of extras like private tastings. Nothing too fancy, but it gave us a good base to regroup and rest our feet. At one point, I realised I'd forgotten sun cream and was already going a bit pink. I asked one of the security staff if they had any – they didn't, but about half an hour later he found me again with another member of staff who handed some over. (Image: Amy Clarke) That kind of gesture says a lot. Friendly, thoughtful and not something you get at every big event. Before heading out, we hit the dodgems which were surprisingly brutal. Easily one of the most fun bits of the day. There was also a vintage Ferris wheel and plenty of fairground stalls, adding to the old-school summer fair feel. By the time we left in the late afternoon, we had spoken to a number of people who had decided they were going to stay for evening session but for me, the daytime slot was enough. I'd eaten well, danced a bit, learned a few things about tomatoes and wine, and had a brilliant day in a corner of London I rarely visit. Pub in the Park knows what it's doing. The food's the star, but the festival around it creates this perfect summertime atmosphere. I'll be back next year, with a hat, sun cream and even more appetite.

Harrison Ford once complimented his ‘Shrinking' co-star Jason Segel on his ‘great d–k'
It belongs in a museum! Harrison Ford once complimented Jason Segel on his 'great d–k' after watching the 45-year-old actor go full frontal in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall.' Segel recalled the 'Indiana Jones' star's surprising words during Variety's 'Actors on Actors' series with Seth Rogen published on Thursday, June 5. 7 Harrison Ford once complimented Jason Segel's 'great d–k' after watching the younger actor go full frontal in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall.' AFP via Getty Images 7 Segel recalled Ford's surprising words during a recent episode of Variety's 'Actors on Actors' series with Seth Rogen. Peggy Sirota for Variety He began by explaining how the producers of 'Shrinking,' Brett Goldstein and Bill Lawrence, convinced Ford, 82, to sign on to the popular Apple TV+ series. 'We got Harrison Ford because Harrison Ford is the kind of person you make an offer to so that for three days you can say, 'We've made an offer to Harrison Ford,' and then you'll pick the real guy,' Segel said on Thursday. 'He read it, and he didn't know anything about me,' the 'How I Met Your Mother' star continued. 'Brett Goldstein met with him, and they had a really nice meeting, and they sent him 'The End of the Tour' and 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall.'' 7 Segel began by telling Rogen how the producers of 'Shrinking' convinced Ford to sign on to the Apple TV+ show. Peggy Sirota for Variety 'Then,' he added, 'Bill Lawrence got a text that said, 'I'm in. And tell the kid, great d–k.'' Rogen, 43, couldn't get over the fact that Ford once complimented Segel's manhood. 'Even if he was out, that would be great,' the 'Studio' star joked. 'I would take that.' 7 Ford and Segel as the therapists Paul Rhoades and Jimmy Laird in Season 2 of 'Shrinking.' Apple TV+ The full-frontal scene in question occurs in the 2008 comedy when Segel's character, Peter Bretter, stands fully naked as his girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), breaks up with him. Segel previously opened up about the surprising scene in 2015 and revealed that he was the one who came up with the idea. 'I thought that was hilarious,' he told Vulture at the time. 'I was actually not very uncomfortable doing it. I really felt free.' 7 'I'm in,' Segel recalled Ford saying. 'And tell the kid, great d–k.' ©Apple TV/Courtesy Everett Collection 'You have to put it in the context that this was 2006, 2007, and this hadn't been done before, in my recollection,' Segel added, 'where the main guy was going to be naked in the first five minutes of the movie.' Even more surprising was Segel's admission that the full frontal idea was inspired by a similar incident that had actually happened to him in real life years before. 'She arrived at the house and I had decided that the way to really kick off this sex was that I was waiting on the couch totally naked, like posed,' he told Conan O'Brien during an episode of the comedian's podcast in 2023. 7 Ford and Segel seen at 'Shrinking' FYC Event at The Think Apple TV+ Emmy House on May 18, 2025, in Los Angeles Apple TV+ via Getty Images 'So she walked in and there I am laying,' he continued, 'and I said, 'I've got a surprise for you,' and then she said, 'We need to talk.'' One person who didn't enjoy Segel's nude scene was his mother, who was blindsided when she watched it at the movie premiere. 'She said, 'Why didn't you tell me?'' the recalled last year. 'I said, 'I thought it would be a funny joke.' She said, 'This is not a funny joke.'' 7 This wouldn't be the first time that the 'Indiana Jones' star complimented his 'Shrinking' co-star's manhood. Getty Images As for 'Shrinking,' the series stars Segel and Ford as therapists Jimmy Laird and Paul Rhoades, respectively. The show, which premiered in January 2023 and concluded its second season in December, follows Segel's character in the wake of his wife's death. It also follows Ford's character as he battles Parkinson's disease. 'There's no intention to make it into a joke,' Ford said of his character's startling diagnosis during an interview late last year. 'But there are people that absorb these kinds of experiences with grace and courage and a little bit of wisdom,' he added. 'And that is not to say that some people do not.'

In Wes Anderson's New Movie, Real Masterpieces Get a Starring Role
At the end of Wes Anderson's new caper, 'The Phoenician Scheme,' there are some unusual credits. In addition to the cast and crew, the artworks featured in the film are listed, complete with ownership details. That's because the pieces onscreen are not reproductions. They are in fact the actual masterpieces from Pierre-Auguste Renoir, René Magritte and other well-known artists. In the past, Anderson has faked a Kandinsky and a Klimt. Here he went for the real thing. 'We have a character who's a collector, who's a possessor; he wants to own things, and we thought because it's sort of art and commerce mixed together this time we should try to have the real thing,' Anderson said via a voice note. What he ended up with was impressive. The fictional collection of the businessman Zsa-zsa Korda, played by Benicio Del Toro, includes Renoir's 'Enfant Assis en Robe Bleue,' which was once owned by Greta Garbo, and Magritte's 'The Equator.' There is also a selection of works from the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Germany that includes pieces from the 17th century. Getting a collector or an art institution to hand over a painting worth millions of dollars to a film production isn't an easy task, and the negotiations fell mostly to Jasper Sharp, a curator who had worked with Anderson and his wife, Juman Malouf, on their 2018 exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, where Sharp is based. 'A film set has vast amounts of light, heat, no climate control, very lax security, people running everywhere with booms and lights and props,' Sharp said in a video interview. 'The walls that it will be hung on are made of plywood sometimes. There are less desirable places to hang art, but this was certainly a challenging environment in terms of me trying to persuade someone that they maybe want to lend an object.' Want all of The Times?
