Portugal’s No.1 culinary delight: Pastéis de na

Portugal’s No.1 culinary delight: Pastéis de nata⁠Back in the 13th century, monasteries in Portugal used egg whites for starching clothes, particularly nuns’ habits, which meant they had a lot of egg yolks surplus to requirements. The yolks were often used to make desserts and pastries, and this led to the invention of sweets like ovos moles, queijadas, and of course pastéis de nata. ⁠⁠These little cups of sunshine are handmade by our chefs everyday, and are best served with @easyjosecoffee post swim and sauna 🏊⁠⁠#pasteisdenata #portuguesecustardtart #thameslido #butfirstcoffee⁠

Veganuary continues: Seared King oyster mushroom, samphire, orange & hazelnut picada. ⁠⁠This is one of our four new vegan dishes on our a la carte menu. The fat, juicy mushroom 'scallops' are the perfect plant-based starter. Enjoy! ⁠⁠#veganuary #veganstarter #veganuary2022 #veganuaryuk #veganuaryeats #thameslido #rdguk

There's a common misconception that Thames Lido is

There's a common misconception that Thames Lido is a place best visited in the summer months. We're here to debunk this myth!⁠⁠While sitting poolside sipping on a cocktail on a balmy summers evening is glorious, enjoying our facilities when the air is cold and the sky is grey is equally as glorious, and a feast for all the senses. Experiencing the change in temperature as you plunge into our heated pool (usually between 24-26 degrees) or wallow in the hot tub (around 37 degrees) or sweat it out in one of our traditional Finnish saunas (70 and 80 degrees) is addictive, and the reason why we have just opened a waiting list for memberships. ⁠⁠However, non-members can still enjoy Thames Lido. Swim sessions and swim and eat packages can be booked via our website.⁠⁠Any questions? Leave them in the comments below⁠⁠#thameslido #winterdreaming #aseasonalshift #winterdays #spaday
