TampersandT Presents EuroTrashed near Queens Park


TampersandT (T&T) is a new events company who have a special pop-up restaurant with live acts and music happening on 4th & 5th October, based around the concept of 'EuroTrashed'

"Flashback to the early 90’s. Yeah there were people with green hair and ripped jeans feeling sorry for themselves. Yeah Will Smith used to be funny. And Yeah you can jump higher if you inflate the tongue of your trainers.This was the backdrop to what TampersandT the force behind EuroTrashed grew up on.
But that show in particular had a big place in their hearts. Might have been because they both meet in a French school in their early teens and the show reflected their half French half British culture. Might have been for the witty socio political satire that dotted the program or the international beauties.
Whatever it was, T (Rohan Tully) film Director and T (Tarek Sebastian Al-shammaa) Head Chef at Pinewood studios didn’t count on the sheer laughs they had recounting the show and its hilarious moments.  They both love French cuisine but have had enough of the pompous frivolities of their dining rooms. They wanted to imagine Le Gavroche but run by Antoine, Jean Paul and Lola.
Welcome to EuroTrashed.
We are now looking for an audience to join our live broadcast of the new show “Eurotrashed” so please book your seat prepare your taste buds
THE MENU:
The menu will be an exploit of French cuisine as well as other cooking techniques. This particular menu will be mainly fish and being an island we have some of the best produce in the world. We promise that all our scallops will be hand dived, all our prawns ethically sourced and our langoustines and Salmon to be Scottish and proud. The pride of the menu is a dish famous in the south of France but rare to find here in Britain. The starter will be light and refreshing and yes it’s a EuroTrashed night so will finish with a Tart. And we do love a Tart here at TampersandT.
Upon arrival, you will receive complementary cocktails followed by a 3 course meal.
Scottish Wild Salmon Ceviche with a Citrus Dressing and a Herb Salad
Hand dived Scallops, Scottish Langoustines, Monkfish, Tilapia, and Calamari Bouillabaisse with Saffron rice
White Organic Chocolate and Cardamom Tart with British raspberries"

When - Friday 4th & Saturday 5th October

Where - 26 Macroom Road W9 3HY

Tickets - £66 from here (Fri) & here (Sat)

A Grape Night In's Winter Sunday Roast Pop-up near London Fields


A Grape Night In have announced their next venture - an indulgent Sunday Roast lunch Pop-up near London Fields, with bubbles, paired wines, and even a quiz in the evening.  Most of their Wine Wednesdays sold out, and I've not doubt that this will be just as popular.

"As the summer months fade away, a hearty roast can be a saviour from the chilly weather. Pair this with many warming glasses of wine selected by the experts at pop-up wine company A Grape Night In, and you'll soon be forgetting the drizzle outside...
A Grape Night In are proud to announce a new series 'Toast & Roast', popping-up every Sunday from October through to December at the quirky, cool and homely Studio GI. The wine will take centre stage as we toast to Sundays and roast dinners - relax with a glass of bubbles when you arrive, before settling in to enjoy a selection of wines perfect to go with your roast dinner.
Chef Ricardo Prestes will be cooking up a storm in the kitchen to bring you delicious roasts every week, but we'll be putting a spin on tradition by bringing out the roast in 3 courses; 'The Veg' the starters, 'The Meat' for mains and 'The Sauce' becomes dessert. Roasts will alternate every week (see menus below for more details) and vegetarian options will be available too.
So why not bring a group of friends or bring the family along for either a lazy lunch from 1:30-5pm (we can take groups of up to 12 people), and all topped off  with a quiz from 6pm. Sunday's won't be the same again!
Sample menu:
The Veg: Spicy parsnip soup with crispy onion
The Meat: Roast rump with fondant Hasselback potatoes & spinach cream
The Sauce: Chocolate tart with crystallized horseradish"

When - Sundays from 6th October, 1.30pm - 5pm, with a quiz at 6pm

Where - A location near London Fields, to be revealed on booking

Tickets - Tickets cost £35 from Edible Experiences here and includes bubbles on arrival and three courses with paired wines.
