This Summer, Hertfordshire hotel and spa, The Grove will launch a host of seasonal experiences as part of their 20th anniversary celebrations, one of them being Feast on Cloud 9. As a standout staycation destination in the UK with a wide range of experiences and close proximity to London, The Grove is one of the UK’s most exciting luxury resort estates, catering to every taste with its diverse offerings and activities.

We love the idea of the balloons in the garden of hotel The Grove, very picturesque. Here in the Netherlands we have chef Angélique Schmeinck who creates the most delicious dishes in real hot balloons at CuliAir Sky Dining. For those who love to have the images of eating in a hot air balloon but who chickens out of the real experience, Feast on Cloud 9 is much more appropriate. 🙂

At horecatrends.com we spot many national and international trends on a daily basis. We pick the most interesting ones to write about, the other trends we use in our weekly column ‘Trends we spotted this week’.

This week a ‘trends we spotted’ in summer vibes! With links to a number of Instagram posts including one with a frozen Aperol Spritz recipe that could sell very well at your outdoor dining space on warm days. And about the ‘High cocktails time’ on Saturday afternoon at FAK Utrecht.

The ‘Taste the world cuisine’ at Shell cafes in the Netherlands now sells a sweet BBQ bacon bun and a pulled BBQ chicken wrap from BBQ chef Ralph de Kok. If you buy one of them, you can also win one Komado barbecue from Big Green Egg and a cookbook from Ralph. Read how in the article!

Another special swimming pool for dogs, this time ‘Mutts & Martinis’ in Florida. Including a bar where the dog owners can enjoy a drink and even order food. Last week we wrote about a dog swimming pool in France, when will one open in the Netherlands?

A number of pop-up beach clubs from major brands, we previously wrote about Gucci in the South of France and now a pop-up from Louis Vuitton in the beach bar of the Mandarin Oriental in Bodrum. And in Malaysia there is a Dioriviera! This pop-up is at the Ember Beach Club of the One&Only Desaru Coast.

Last year we already wrote an article about Anya Hindmarch‘s special ice cream project, you can taste her special ice cream flavors again until August 27 at Anya Village in London. And a lesson on how to create butlers: the Hôtel Belles Rives in Juan-les-Pins on the French Riviera introduces a ‘Water Ski Butler’.

In Milan, the ‘Ichi Station sushi bar’ chain has opened a new location on Via Solferino, with a special design in peachy colors. However, we think the packaging of their sushi take-out is very cool! Maybe an inspiration for other sushi chains!

At horecatrends.com we spot many national and international trends on a daily basis. We pick the most interesting ones to write about, the other trends we use in our weekly column ‘Trends we spotted this week’.

With this week links to articles about Kaspar Schmauser, a German, vegan food concept launched in 2021 and that is expanding in Germany. And IKEA introduced the plantdog in the Netherlands. The plantdog is cheaper than the chicken hot dog.  

Häagen-Dazs by General Mills brings luxury to the yogurt aisle in the USA with the debut of ‘Cultured Crème’. And according to a study New York state is the most vegan obsessed state.

We came across an article on wellness in hotels and they mentioned pickleball, a combination of tennis, badminton and ping pong. They even mentioned hotels and resorts opened pickleball courts. As its courts are smaller it might be a great sport for the sportive grey brigade who used to play tennis.

For those travelling to Paris this September, Big Mamma returns with its 100% street food festival at La Felicità! On September 16 and 17. And also in France: at Mérignac (near Bordeaux) the first dog pool, Mouille tes Pattes, opened. We love the idea!

Hell Energy is the world’s first AI created energy drink. And at restaurant THE DUCHESS you can enjoy a special, Instagrammable and enchanting scroppino. Check out their Instagram post!

KETEL 1 introduced their Hard Lemonades, ready to drink in the 2 flavors, strawberry & watermelon and lemon & lime.
