Home & fashion store Aria is hosting a supper club on Thursday 11th July in its main retail space off Upper Street, with Finnish design brand Iittala and Hi Sushi Events.  It's a four course meal in very stylish surroundings, and you also get a very intriguing sounding goodie bag when you leave.  Either buy tickets from Edible Experiences or pop into the shop in person to buy tickets before the night.

After closing time, our beautiful 150 year old hall will transform into an exclusive supper club, co-hosted by Finnish design brand Iittala and Hi Sushi Events. The result will be a highly crafted experience where food and drink integrate with design, making for a sublime evening to please the senses.
The evening starts with a relaxed reception in our lounge area, that includes a preview of Iittala's new Leimu lighting and beverages specially selected for the evening. Then guests will enjoy 4-course meal by Hi Sushi Events, purveyors of fine Japanese cuisine, specially designed around Iittala's timeless tableware settings. Guests will leave with a goody bag that includes a set of Iittala's ‘Essence Plus’ wine glasses and, what we hope is, a new perspective on how retail spaces are perceived and re-purposed now and in the future."

'Crab is King' Two Night July Pop-up in New Cross

When The New Cross Dining Company organised two nights of crabs in May they sold out very, very quickly (& got into Thrillist too).  Now they're back with two more nights - and I suspect that these will go like #HotCakes too...

"From Red Market in East London to a hill top venue in New Cross, 'CRAB is KING!' promises two nights of soft shell crab, margaritas and hot doughnuts with new toppings such as lemon and ginger crumble and blackcurrant sauce. They'll be some communal dining so feel free to lose your friends and make new ones. Then we'll roll you back down the hill, happy and full.
£10 of the booking fee is redeemable on the night against food and drink, and we have allotted times simply to stagger service a bit. It's all pretty laid-back and everyone can stay until 11pm"

When - Friday 19th & Saturday 20th July

Where - The Hill Station Restaurant. Telegraph Hill Centre, Kitto Road, SE14 5TY

Cost - An initial £10 on booking to be offset against the cost on the night - pay here

Forza Win & The Ginger Pig present CUTS Pop-up Restaurant in East London

Update - see my photo review of the press night here

Big news!  Forza Win has teamed up with The Ginger Pig to create CUTS, a 30 day only combined pop-up with 4 courses (lamb, pork, beef and a dessert) in 'a disused pickle factory in East London'.  It starts on 25th July, and then it's every Thurs - Sun until late September.  Sounds amazing, and very #HotCakes so don't wait too long before you book this one!

"Take a seasonal supper club with a penchant for great Italian food and a business renowned for its meat. Add a huge, specially built wood-fired grill, an old warehouse in Hackney and 630kg of meat and you have CUTS, a 30-date collaboration between Forza Win and the Ginger Pig.
Each night guests will sit down to four courses; lamb, pork and beef, ending with an English take on an Italian pudding. Expect a couple of unusual but really delicious cuts – if pork rib eye sounds like your thing, you’re in business. 
The menu leans towards gutsy Italian classics, big flavours, generous portions and simple execution, and a selection of Italianate cocktails, wine and beer will be available to ensure that no one goes thirsty. Supper will be served in The Pickle Factory, an old East End building with a quirky history, around an enormous communal table."

When - Thursday - Sunday from the 25 July - 22nd September
