Melanie Blatt's Full Fillings Food at The Londesborough, N16

Full Fillings Food is a new(ish) burger pop-up from former All Saints star Melanie Blatt, now serving at The Londesborough pub in N16, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.  

The concept is big filled buns, and there are currently 3 on the menu: Mexican-inspired beef birria,  Caribbean-inspired chicken, and a veggie mac n cheese one (a genius idea!).  I had the beef birria, which came with a really good gravy; a vital part of the experience.

The Londesborough is a big corner pub, with seating inside and out, so you should have no trouble getting served (but it's always safest to book (link - The Londesborough) and you may also get to meet Mel!

When - Tuesday and Thursday evenings (& on Uber Eats & Just Eat)

Where - The Londesborough, 36 Barbauld Rd, London N16 0SS

Bookings - via The Londesborough

Swilipino's Swedish-Filipino Cooking at the ESEA Centre in Dalston

 


Swilipino - serving a mix of Swedish and Filipino dishes - is now serving Weds-Sat at The ESEA Community Centre in Englefield Road, N1, until December 2025.  I visited a few weeks ago and loved it; big bold flavours in a very nice setting.  I'd strongly recommend the curry goat (above), the Ginataang scallop; and the dessert - an oat lace cookie ice cream sandwich (below).  yum!

"Swilipino began as a creative identity and food project by Tintin Jonsson in 2018—a photographer turned chef in search of a new creative outlet and a deeper understanding of her dual heritage. Organically turning it into a catering and event business based in London, Tintin cooks Filipino-inspired dishes through the lens of her Swedish-Filipino background. She often draws from the southern Philippines, where her mother is from, blending traditional flavors with Swedish nostalgia to create what she playfully calls “frankenfood.”

Her cooking is a celebration of connection—an exploration of the shared threads between cultures, rather than the divides. Instead of dwelling on the confusion that dual identity can bring, she embraces it with a “full cup” mentality.

Tintin also spent years working as a development chef at the East London favorite My Neighbours the Dumplings, where she honed her skills in dumpling-making— which she has lovingly woven into the Swilipino identity.

Cartoons and animation are Tintin’s biggest sources of inspiration, and that joy and color shine through in her food. Expect big flavors, saturated colors, and definitely more chili than you’d typically find in traditional Filipino or Swedish dishes—because she likes it hot!"

When - Weds-Sat til mid December 2025

Weds-Fri evenings, and Sat all day from 12 noon

Where - ESEA Community Centre, 12-14 Englefield Rd, London N1 4LS

Bookings - tintin@swilipino.com
