Le Beaujolais

Time Out15-07-2025
Le Beaujolais is about as far away as you can get from London's new wave of natural wine bars. The restaurant downstairs is a members -only venue but the ground floor bar is open to all. A central London mainstay since 1972, this robust timewarp comes complete with rustic French tables that are pleasantly well past their best, a chaotic seating arrangement, scrappy chalkboard menus and ties hanging from the ceiling, as if the last 1980s yuppie has only just been asked to leave. It is, in other words, pure Keith Floyd-core. Sure, there's a food menu of classic French cuisine; croque monsieurs, steak frites and boeuf bourguignon, but people aren't really here to eat, they're here to drink bottles, carafes and glasses of the Frenchest of wines. The list is exclusively French, and broken down by region, from the Loire to Bourgogne, via the Rhône, Bordeaux, and of course, Beaujolais.
Time Out tip
If you're after some 'Old Soho' energy – now only matched by the likes of the French House – swing by Le Beaujolais at 3pm on a weekday to soak up some Chardonnay with a crowd of old school Soho characters.

Llandrindod Wells twinning association pair visit Germany

The vice chairman of Llandrindod Wells and Area Twinning Association recently represented the town at a festival in Germany. Kelsham Hanna, alongside immediate-past mayor Marcia Morgan, attended the Stadtfest in Bad Rappenau. During the six-day visit, the pair experienced a bird of prey display at a historic castle, explored a local salt mine, embarked on a heritage railway journey, and relaxed in Bad Rappenau's thermal baths. The festival, featuring more than 20 live bands on two stages, saw crowds and numerous stalls selling local produce, alongside beer tents. A highlight of the visit was when Ms Morgan was invited to open the Stadtfest with the crew of a German submarine from Kiel and the deputy mayor of Bad Rappenau. The visit saw both British representatives enjoying the company of German and French twinning association members. In a bid to expand their operations, the association is currently on the lookout for new members.

Brooklyn Beckham issues 'financial flex' over dad David as he cosies up to father-in-law

Hot sauce founder Brooklyn Beckham has been holidaying with his wife Nicola Peltz's family as he keeps his distance from his famous parents David and Victoria Beckham Brooklyn Beckham's fallout with his famous mum and dad shows no signs of slowing down as he appears to reap the benefits of his billionaire father-in-law. The hot sauce founder, 26, has been locked in a family fallout with David and Victoria Beckham as he continued to stand with his wife Nicola Peltz. ‌ Things haven't been rosy between the Beckhams since Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David's 50th birthday celebrations in May. Brooklyn went on to issue a series of snubs when it came to Father's Day and David's long awaited knighthood achievment. ‌ The fallout seems to have spilled down the family as both Brooklyn's younger brothers Romeo and Cruz have unfollowed him on social media. Brooklyn appears to be surrounding himself with his in-laws amid the drama and has even headed on holiday with them. ‌ He sailed into Saint-Tropez on a £85million, 80 metre yacht called Project X as he lapped up the luxury getaway. It had been rented by Nicola's parents, Nelson and Claudia Peltz, and set them back a staggering £1.2million a week. Brooklyn avoided a run in with his parents as they arrived in the same French dock just two days later - which he reportedly was unaware of. They turned up on a £16million, 40 metre vessel named Seven. ‌ 'Brooklyn's yacht dwarfs the one owned by David and Victoria. It's a financial flex," a source told the Sun. 'Their relationship is beyond soured now but Brooklyn has really landed on his feet. "Nicola and her parents, Nelson and Claudia, are his family now. And he's clearly enjoying the spoils.' David and Victoria, who own their yacht that's half the size of Brooklyn's in-laws rented boat, are in Saint-Tropez with their sons Romeo and Cruz as well as daughter Harper. However, a source told the Mirror that Brooklyn was unaware that David and Victoria were arriving in Saint-Tropez two days later. They added the couple had a lovely time and enjoyed the hospitality provided by Nelson. ‌ Brooklyn, meanwhile, has been keen to share snaps of his own trip as he drank a bottle of beer next to Nelson. One moment showed Brooklyn leaning towards Nelson, who had his arm around his son-in-law, whilst another showed the in-laws embraced in a hug by a table. Brooklyn has attracted attention over spending time with his in-laws lately amid claims he "doesn't really feel like he fits into" his own family. A source told the Mirror that he's also grown "so close" to Nicola's family. ‌ They said: "He just doesn't feel his family have treated Nicola well and now that he's grown so close to her family in the States, he doesn't really feel like he fits into the Beckham family right now." Amid rumours of tension between Brooklyn and his parents, he is said to have met up with godfather Sir Elton John, who tried to act as "peacemaker". He is said to have caught up with Brooklyn and Nicola over lunch in Cannes. Elton is said to "adore" Brooklyn and have a "laugh" with Nicola, who he believes has a "great" sense of humour. A source told the Sun: "[Elton's] utterly neutral in this row. Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short - and to patch things up." The source said that the group had a "really fun long lunch" despite the tough conversation.

Inside Brooklyn Beckham's ‘financial flex' in feud with dad David as his £85m superyacht dwarfs family's £16m vessel

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BROOKLYN Beckham is trying to outdo his estranged dad David — by going on holiday on his billionaire in-laws' massive yacht. The 26-year-old sailed into Saint-Tropez in an £85million, 80-metre (260ft) vessel called Project X.

Two days later, Brooklyn's dad David, 50, and mum Victoria, 51, arrived in the same French dock in a £16million, 40-metre (130ft) yacht named Seven. A source said: 'Brooklyn's yacht dwarfs the one owned by David and Victoria. It's a financial flex. 'Their relationship is beyond soured now but Brooklyn has really landed on his feet. Nicola and her parents, Nelson and Claudia, are his family now. And he's clearly enjoying the spoils.' Brooklyn's vessel, with a master suite, a VIP cabin, five double rooms and two twin cabins, has a crew of 28. It also boasts a 25ft by 9ft glass-sided swimming pool, a wellness suite, a spa and a 360-degree sundeck. David's yacht is half the size, with five cabins that sleep ten people, and up to seven crew members on board. The boat, which he bought in 2022, also features a spa bath on the upper deck as well as a 65ft garage, which is packed with water toys including a tender and a jet ski. David and Victoria bought Seven — so-called because of their daughter Harper's middle name — in an upgrade from a smaller £5million vessel. They are in Saint-Tropez with Harper, 14, and their other sons Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20. David and Victoria Beckham's agony as family feud explodes into WW3 and pals say 'Brooklyn has totally cut them off' Brooklyn, along with his wife Nicola, 30, no longer speak to his family following a much-publicised feud earlier this year, which The Sun understands was sparked by money. We first revealed the rift in May. But it worsened earlier this month after brothers Romeo and Cruz appeared to block Brooklyn and Nicola on social media. Those close to Brooklyn said a reconciliation with his family was off the table, adding: 'There's too much water under the bridge.' Brooklyn and Nicola have posted pictures from their break on social media — including one of her naked in one of the yacht's baths. Aspiring cook, photographer and model Brooklyn also posted a snap of himself drinking a bottle of beer next to billionaire businessman Nelson. 10 Brooklyn taking a dip in St. Tropez, where he is staying with his wife Credit: BackGrid 10 Brooklyn shared snaps following his luxury boat trip on Instagram Credit: Instagram 10 Brooklyn hangs out on the mega-expensive vessel Credit: Instagram Brooklyn and Nicola have also been seen out shopping in posh boutiques in and around Saint-Tropez. He also met his godfather, singer Sir Elton John, last week in Cannes. Sir Elton is said to have tried to be a peacemaker in Brooklyn's feud — but is not taking sides. An insider said: 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland. He's utterly neutral in this row. He just wants everyone to be happy. 'He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather. It's a role he takes seriously.' 10 Brooklyn and Nicola no longer speak to his family following a much-publicised feud Credit: Instagram 10 Brooklyn and Nicola have posted pictures from their break on social media Credit: Instagram
