Meat eaters, brace your taste buds as Wild Game Co launch their three-month Soho pop up…
Wild Game Co.
Last week, London played host to its first ever Diner en Blanc event, a pop up invite-only picnic at a famous city landmark which treats its guests to an unforgettable dining experience. Please note, there’s a strict time schedule, white dress code and you have to tidy up after yourself.
A sparkling end to a great night
The City burger has been redone and perfected by many, and now the hotdog’s been covered, but there’s still space for some donut action…Free Company will be giving the battered treat a savoury twist during their one month stint at The Endurance pub, which kicks off today!
Free Company unveil the savoury donut…
This week The Endurance pub in Soho launched new initiative “Food Spectrum”, which aims to showcase the work of young, creative chefs and at the same time give the customer an exciting dining experience.
Blanch & Shock will kick off “Food Spectrum”
Pop along to Propstore and bag yourself some festival-style food at very wallet friendly prices…
Propstore on the South Bank
The South Bank’s Propstore is one of our favourite London summer pop ups, part of The National Theatre. With its open-air metal shell, it not only looks rather cool, but has great view of the Thames and the food is really good considering how super cheap it is.
Magnum’s new London pop up ice cream bar gives visitors an opportunity to check into the “Pleasure Pod”, a device which gets your body’s pleasure reaction to food and transforms it into a rather groovy (is the only way to describe it sorry), visual artwork.
Our food heros: Bompas & Parr with the pod
Bringing together the worlds of food, science and art, the “Pleasure Pod” is allegedly the world’s first bio-responsive food installation, conceptualised by renowned culinary architects Bompas and Parr. By hooking up your pulse to a series of wires and machines, the pod can measure the intense sensations you experience when eating something pleasurable (in this case an ice cream). The pod then produces a bespoke digital artwork of your body’s reaction projecting it across the inside wall.
We pay a visit to food busker John Quilter on London’s South Bank to see how much his tent-prepared dishes are worth in English pounds…
John mid food busk
Food busking is a simple and novel concept: Take the fussiness and haughtiness out of a fancy restaurant, move it onto the street, add a bit of theatre and then let the free market decide how much it is worth paying for.
