Here at Pinchito we love street art. There is something rather delicious about art splashed on urban banality- and Spain has given birth to some of the greatest street artists to come out of Europe.

This weekend is looking good for chocaholics. First up is The Chocolate Festival, which returns to the Southbank Centre for the 3rd year in a row.

El Amor! El Amor! San Valentín
January 19, 2010 – 11:25 am
As we Spanish are a hot blooded bunch and like to declare our desires with passion, we have been conducting research amongst our staff as to who has received the most unique valentines gift. So far the most strange (and simply freaky) gift that anyone has been given (vegetarians may want to stop reading now) was a box containing a real pigs heart rigged with electrodes so the heart pulsed – a beating bloody heart in a box ! The message was: ‘You have my heart’…….Ahhhh beautiful!

Do you feel it? Do you sense it? It’s all around … Christmas is coming! We love London Christmas time – the lights go up, the stores show off, roasted chestnut sellers appear on every corner, everyone wraps up only to strip off in overheated indoors! Seriously – there is no place in the world which provides you with this much freedom to be your self and celebrate how or if you want!
Opening nights and gambling souls

Whoah, we were expecting a few friends to turn up to the WC1 preview last week but not 250 of you!!! What a night, thank you all for coming down, supporting us and well and truly christening our new babies head! We are very happy to be located in WC1 just off Tottenham Court Road. For those who haven’t come in and said hello to Bruce and the gang – we are ready for you!
