London Pop-ups

A Mac 'n' Cheese pop-up has come to The Seveney in Essex Road, N1, serving Mac 'n' Cheese from Thursday to Sunday til Christmas 2020. It goes without saying that it's a perfect winter dish - and Miss Mac's is an excellent version, made on site with a mix of three cheeses, with toppings and adornments like pulled port and jalapenos.

I tried this last weekend and loved it. The Mac 'n' Cheese is lovely and creamy (I had it with added blue cheese, making it a 4 cheese one, and I also added spicy jalapenos), the deep fried mac balls were perfect to nibble on, and the 3 chocolate brownie was one of the best I've ever had (I've had a lot), coming with big chunks of chocolate inside.

I can't recommend this one enough!

When - Thursdays to Sundays til Christmas 2020

Alter's Six Month Residency at Leman Locke in Aldgate

Alter, chef Andy Hogben's take on vegan, Asian cooking, is starting a new residency at SHAMAN, the cafe inside the Leman Locke Hotel, just round the corner from Aldgate East tube station, starting on Friday 23rd October. I've had - and loved - Andy's food at two previous pop-ups, and I can't wait to see what he will do at this new residency. Get booking!

"alter was founded by Andy Hogben, (ex Dabbous, Som Saa & Andrew Wong) in response to the paradox of suddenly becoming vegan, but being completely disillusioned by vegan food, and its wider culture in the UK.⁣

⁣Having worked in some of London’s most exciting restaurants and with a head full of Anthony Bourdain travel shows, Andy realised there could be so much more to vegan food than simply replicating a British meat & dairy led diet and set about creating dishes that married up to veganism’s own worldwide sense of perspective.⁣

Andy says: 'Delighted to announce the next chapter of our journey begins this month with a 6 month residency at Leman Locke in Aldgate East.

This is the big one. The first, full fledged version of the concept. Full menu. House Cocktails. Craft Beer. Low intervention wine. We'd love to see you there!'"

When - Starts Friday 23rd 2020

Then Weds-Sun evenings

Where - SHAMAN, Leman Locke Hotel, 15 Leman St, London E1 8EN
