This feature answers all of your summer problems. Feeling thirsty? Head to Good and Proper for their new iced teas. Need a post afternoon drinking feed? Honest Burgers and Mother Flipper have partnered to create one absurdly delicious burger. Here’s the scoop:

1. For a New Collaboration: Honest Burgers x Mother Flipper 

What: Honest Burgers has teamed up with their favourite street food traders, Mother Flipper for a brand new special. Many moons ago, the Honest Burgers team went wild when they sunk their teeth into MF’s famed burger with candied bacon. And so, to celebrate the humble burger, the chaps have collaborated on one fine beefy bite.

Why: Available at all Honest Burgers restaurants until Monday 10th July, the burger features a beef patty topped with candied bacon, double American cheese, shoestring fries, MF burger sauce and pickles. And of course, served with a portion of Honest Burgers’ rosemary salt fries. Salty, sweet, meaty and messy – it’s everything you ever wanted from a burger. Order some chicken wings as a side for a right ol’ meat fest.

2. For a New Summer Drink: Good & Proper Tea 

What: Feeling parched? Drop into Good & Proper Tea for their new weekly changing iced tea menu. A selection of three refreshing cold brew teas will be on the menu each week at the Good & Proper Tea Bar on Leather Lane, and from their converted 1974 Citroen H van which will be touring the country this summer.

Why: You can expect combinations such as Wild Rooibos and Orange, Hibiscus and Mint, and Darjeeling and Elderflower. The Wild Rooibos will be a favourite for anyone who prefers to stay caffeine free, whilst the seasonal Darjeeling and Elderflower has a lingering floral flavour more suited to those who enjoy their iced tea that little bit sweeter. Good & Proper will also be serving up a selection of refreshing iced tea lattes. The Coconut Milk Matcha Latte is a firm favourite amongst Leather Lane regulars, and their Iced Chai Oat Milk Latte uses in-house made chai with turmeric, and combined with Oatly milk for a gorgeous, rich, spiced finish.

3. For a New Lunch Menu: Morito Hackney Road 

What: Moro and Morito chef proprietors, Sam and Sam Clark, along with Head Chef Marianna Leivaditaki, are now serving a new set lunch mezze menu at Morito Hackney Road. An absolute steal at £12, the set lunch menu is available Tuesday to Friday.

Why: The set lunch menu offers everyone the option to choose from either a meat, fish or a vegetarian mezze which includes a selection of four hot or cold dishes handpicked from Morito’s regularly changing menu. Expect dishes such as charcoal grilled guinea fowl with cinnamon, fenugreek and seasoned yoghurt; cod fillet a la plancha, ajo blanco, fresh almond salsa and wild garlic; cheese fritters and Cretan thyme honey; and steamed artichoke, coriander, preserved lemon and red chilli salsa. One lunchtime deal you can’t miss, folks.

4. For a New Summer Menu: Ping Pong 

What: Ping Pong have just launched their new ‘Dim Sum Mer’ (catchy) menu, available at all nine sites. Ditch the heavy dumplings and noodles for the light and lovely rice sliders, and thirst quenching sharing cocktails.

Why: The menu showcases vibrant dishes such as the fresh and flavoursome spring roll bowl and smoked chilli chicken wings. Ping Pong’s ever popular steamed bao buns have been revamped, so you can now choose from your favourite platter of fillings, including crispy duck, chilli prawn and crispy aubergine, and construct them to your own liking. Putting an Eastern spin on Britains’s favourite sharing cocktails, the Asian Pimm’s and Lemonade features osmanthus flower-infused rose’ and prosecco, while the refreshing Lemongrass Sangria combines Bombay Sapphire gin, St. Germain, lemongrass, lime and white wine.

5. For a New Sushi Box: Sushi Shop 

What: Sushi Shop has partnered with PaperMint to offer you a summer box full of colour and flavour. If you’re not familiar with PaperMint, the brand specialises in wall art and decoration; all its products are designed and created in a small Parisian workshop.

Why: Designed in the fashionable bento style, the summer box includes a side dish, 36 pieces of sushi (including 2 exclusive creations) and a fresh seasonal fruit salad. New sushi includes the spicy salmon and papaya spring roll – the sweetness of the salmon, the freshness of the papaya and the crunchy masago eggs blend perfectly with the spicy sauce which takes everything to another level. And the samba pineapple roll is an exotic, brightly coloured roll packed with sea bream ceviche, pomegranate and coriander, and covered with a thin slice of pineapple.
