The Cornwall Project BBQ in Brixton, Homerton and Stoke Newington


The Cornwall Project, which brings the best of Cornish produce to some of London's top restaurants, has opened a six week barbecue in 3 great London pubs.  The barbecues are now open in The Duke of Edinburgh in Brixton (SW9), The Adam & Eve in Homerton (E9), and The Three Crowns in Stoke Newington (NW16).  Each day the BBQs will serve great Cornish meat, plus seafood and shellfish.  Expect things like 9oz aged rump steak, grilled Looe sardines, and whole Padstow brown crab.  Go!


"The Cornwall Project is hugely excited to announce The Cornwall Project BBQ.
The six week event will take place across three London pub BBQs and grills; the Adam & Eve in Homerton, the Three Crowns in Stoke Newington and The Duke of Edinburgh in Brixton starting on Monday 13th July.



This event marks The Cornwall Project's first foray into south London giving Brixton residents the chance to test their renowned produce.
The event has been devised by Cornwall Project head Matt Chatfield as a way to support his native Cornwall's fisherman.



He had this to say about it - "For decades the Cornish day boat community has relied on the Spanish market to buy its wonderful selection of locally caught shellfish. Cornish Lobster, Spider Crab and Brown Crab have been hugely popular there for a long time but with the Spanish market weakening it can no longer be relied upon to support Cornwall's brave day boat fleet.
To help with this we have set up our own direct links between the fishermen and some of our favourite pubs in London. We will be collecting their exceptionally fresh shellfish and delivering it direct to your plates in Brixton, Homerton and Stoke Newington on the same day!"
As well as Cornwall's renowned seafood the Cornwall Project chef team will also be serving up a selection of Cornwall's finest steaks, burgers and vegetables."

The Magic Roundabout on Old Street with Burger Bear & Prawnography


Burger Bear is launching a new burger restaurant this June on Old Street Roundabout (entrance through the one of the underpasses in the station).  It's (finally) the home of the shipping container diner he funded through Kickstarter back in 2014, and joining him is Prawnography, a seafood restaurant from Jim Thomlinson (as seen in Fry Hard), plus Relax, a bar.  There will also be music from Burger Bear, and it'll be open every day from 16th June (Prawnography starts Tues 16th, Burger Bear starts Thurs 18th).  Sounds great!


"London’s iconic Old Street Roundabout is about to get its magic back with the arrival of The Capital’s newest and most hotly anticipated pop-up bar and street food market. Arriving just in time for Summer, The Magic Roundabout—a brand new 500-capacity space offering up the freshest food, beats, and beverages in town—will open up atop Old Street Roundabout from June 12, Occupied by some of London’s most exciting foodie ventures, in the form of Burger Bear, Prawnography and Relax, The Magic Roundabout will be serving up the finest street food and drinks alongside killer cuts of disco music, every day from 7am-11pm.

Whole spider crab w chips
The Magic Roundabout is the brainchild of London-based entrepreneur Tom Reaney – the man behind the famous Burger Bear pop-up and Stokey Bears restaurant. Having raised £36k through a Kickstarter campaign in 2014 in his quest to create the perfect experience combining music and food, ‘Burger Bear Tom’ as he’s more fondly known, has finally secured a tenancy to transform the unique TFL site into a thriving east London market place, housed in stunning summer-ready space."

B.O.B.s Lobster

Continuing to transform derelict and disused spaces in London, Street Feast has turned this giant 1,000 capacity empty yard into an epic street food ARENA. Built entirely from scratch, Dinerama brings together the steel towers of Burning Man, bright lights of Sunset Boulevard and burning oil drums of Mad Max, finished off with a rooftop English country lawn.

Five of London’s best street food traders - Breddos, Smokestak, Fundi, Baba G’s, and BBQ Lab as well as Duck’N Roll, the street eating venture from Michelin starred Club Gascon, take over six permanent sit-down diners around a huge 400-seater space in the centre of the yard.

Smokestak’s David Carter debuts BirdBox, a 54-bird rotisserie serving juicy Bajan-inspired rotisserie chicken with charred lemon, roasted garlic, marjoram and thyme, and dripping fried potatoes. For afters, head to You Doughnut! for Hot & Fresh Doughnut Bites with salted caramel or warm chocolate sauce.


You Doughnut

There’s also five brilliant bars including three rooftop drinking spots. Stay downstairs for icy-cold cans and slushy cocktails at the Tequila Container and Can Hatch or head up to the MASSIVE mezzanine for summer spritzes and ‘Picnic Drinks’ at the Pavilion Bar on the Shoreditch Lawn. For people-watching and catching rays make a move to the Baja-Marama Bar for Mexican beer and Chillibacks, or shimmy over the gangway to the Rum Rooftop for desert island drinks in all the colours of the rumbow. Don’t forget to make a beeline on entry for the Big Bar, serving great draught lager and giant festival-sized cocktails.

Dinerama has several bookable areas for parties from 15 to 150, including a table-service dining area in the centre of the yard AKA the ‘House of Bamboo’. For more information on how to book one of these areas, please contact hello@streetfeastlondon.com.

Celebrity chef John Quilter has worked closely with CERU Restaurant and their Executive Chef Tom Kime to curate a sizzling summer menu, offering up an ever-changing menu that is bright, vibrant, colourful, healthy and most importantly, incredibly delicious, playing on the delectably fresh flavours of Eastern Mediterranean street food.

Highlights include a beautiful kaleidoscope of dips including Pancar (roast beetroot, yoghurt, garlic and pistachio), Fadi (fried baby courgette purée with tahini, roast garlic, yoghurt & lemon) and Spicy Roast Red Pepper dip with chilli, walnuts & pomegranate molasses, all served with freshly baked pita; Crisp apple, pomegranate & mint salad with green chilli, lemon & roasted pine nuts; Salad of baby spinach with labneh, dried cranberries & toasted flat bread with za’atar; Ceru’s signature Slow Roast Lamb Shoulder with Shawarma Spices; Kebab Karaz Spiced Baked Meatballs with sour cherry and cranberry and Baklava flavoured ice cream with roast nut brittle, & burnt honey caramel.
These exciting flavours will be complimented by Miami-inspired cocktails, craft beers, fresh pressed juices and organic coffee from CRU KAFE.LONDON RIVIERA is part of the MORE LONDON FREE FESTIVAL, running from 1 June to 24 September; the series of free events will showcase a free entertainment programme, including all of the summer's sporting highlights on the big screen (including Live Wimbledon, British Formula 1 and British Open Golf), live music, live theatre and cult and classic film screenings. LONDON RIVIERA will be THE place to be this summer. In addition, there’ll be cocktail and mocktail mixology classes with some of London’s top mixologists, and special paired food, drink and live entertainment experiences.
There is something for everyone, so come on down to the More London Riverside site by City Hall from 1st June onwards to enjoy the (hopefully!) warm summer days and long evenings with a few drinks, some delicious food and fantastic entertainment."

Placing a huge emphasis on the quality and locality of all her ingredients, Marie only uses organic eggs, free-range meat and sustainable fish in her dishes. Sourcing the ingredients in Dalston makes for experimental cooking in an evolving seasonal menu, always served with a smile.
TOM’S FEAST
Monday-Friday 6pm-close
Saturday & Sunday 3pm-close
Superstar eco-chef Tom Hunt is bringing a bespoke range of dishes and cocktails to the DRP this summer. His menu is 100% seasonal, mostly sourced from local community farms in and around London.
Author of The Natural Cook, Tom will be serving up a selection of recipes from the book.
Centred around the DRP’s very own ethical charcoal barbecue, dishes will range from fresh oysters and prosecco, to Tom’s own-recipe incredible burgers – ranging from Chorizo & Merguez kofta burgers to an evolving list of fresh fish patties, all served in brioche buns with all the trimmings. Plus lots of options for vegetarians, including Bermondsey Frier halloumi from London’s own Kappacasein Dairy. Alongside a mezze feast of koftas, salads and homemade sauces, the changing menu promises to keep you deliciously satisfied through the long summer nights.
40Ft BREWERY
Any time
This year sees the launch of our very own in-house brewery, 40Ft Brewery. 
The brewery has been founded by two of Bootstraps long-term tenants Andreas and Steve, along with their two other brothers in brewing. The brewery will serve up craft beer and ales specially brewed for the DRP.
Expect beer tastings, brewing master classes and a revolving menu of delectable Bootstrap brews, quenching the thirstiest of revellers throughout the summer."

Skylounge's Summer 'Nantucket Beach Club Rooftop Pop-up Bar in The City


Over the winter Skylounge was transfrormed into a 'Vodka Valhalla'; now for the summer of 2015 it's turning into a 'Nantucket Beach Club' bar, wth refreshing cocktails and seafood to match.  Open from 1st May on Tuesdays - Saturdays for the summer.  Expect views!

"Skylounge, the stylish rooftop bar atop the DoubleTree Hilton, Tower Hill, has announced the launch of Nantucket Beach Club - a new summer residency that will offer a taste of East Coast island living, right in the heart of the City.
Launching on 1st May 2015, Skylounge’s outdoor roof terrace has been transformed into a relaxing island retreat, complete with its very own lighthouse and swing-bench to kick back and relax in – inspired by the laid back and traditional charm of Nantucket, New England. Guests can unwind on warm summer evenings with a round of bowling at the club’s very own bowling alley or even practice their hand at shuffleboard.
After working up a thirst, the bar offers refreshing Snow Queen vodka slushies and summery cocktails such as the refreshing Surfside Punch named after Surfside beach in Nantucket and created with Camomile infused Snow Queen vodka and Lanson White champagne; or the Cape Codder Ale with Snow Queen vodka, cranberry juice and ginger ale, inspired by the traditional Cape Codder, a popular East Coast tipple — all to be enjoyed whilst soaking up the sun and unrivalled views of the City.
Embracing true New England cuisine, Nantucket Beach Club’s food menu features hearty and delicious seafood dishes. Indulge in Lobster mac and cheese, the Seafood Survival Bucket or signature Clam Chowder and lobster rolls, all topped off with a decadent Boston cream pie, as good as in Nantucket itself!
Open from 3pm until 10pm Tuesdays to Saturdays, with a VIP gazebo area available for private hire - Nantucket Beach Club combines New England tradition with East Coast cool and is the ultimate city spot to soak up the sunshine. Running until 30th September, there’s no excuse for any city dwellers to miss out on sophisticated island life this summer."

When - Tues - Sat from 1st May - end of September 2015
3pm - 10pm
