Well, maybe there is! Ping Pong’s Lazy Sumdays allow you to traipse in the sun only to be welcomed back into a relaxed (but cosmopolitan) environment.

If you wear your slippers down on Sunday we’ll give you this week's lazy cocktail - a hedonist's mix of fresh strawberries, limoncello and prosecco. And if you see fit to wear your full lounge-wear with them then you will also receive a complimentary Lazy Sumdays menu (1 per pyjamas or dressing gown worn into the restaurant).

Finally - the little ones are welcome too, under 12's eat free every Sunday in May! See you there on Sunday, whatever time you can lift yourself from the pillow / sofa / sun-lounger...

Guests will be given a designer thermal cape – something for which the venue has become famed, before venturing into the ice-decked bar, which is kept at a constant -5 degrees Celsius, for cocktails.

Elsewhere, in the warm areas of the adjoining belowzero restaurant + lounge, a master mixologist will offer a further tasting session, with cocktails made from Jose Cuervo Tradicional tequila.
