One-offs, limited editions, special menus and more are hitting London restaurants all the time. We'll be updating this page regularly with the very best special new dishes as they appear, so you can make sure to grab them before they're gone.
The Poppies x Taco Taco fish 'n' chip taco
They're just around the corner from each other in East London so it makes perfect sense that fish and chip shop Poppies should team up with the Shoreditch newbie Taco Taco. The match-made-in-heaven taco starts with a soft tortilla, then twice-cooked chunky chips on a bed of mushy peas, topped with a battered fish fillet.
When: For two weeks only from 1 October 2024 at Poppies in Spitalfields
The Holborn Dining Room Breakfast pie
Already a place for pie-lovers, Holborn Dining Room have now brought them to the breakfast menu with this breakfast pie from Holborn Dining Room’s Head Chef, Liam Fauchard-Newman, and Head Pie Maker, Nokx Majozi. It is essentially an English breakfast in a pie, containing Cumberland sausage, mushrooms, bacon, black pudding, baked beans and plum tomatoes. And, literally on top of that, there's a fried egg, with tomato fondue as a base.
When: Ongoing, but 7am-11am only
Thunderbird Fried Chicken x Rosa’s Thai
The two restaurants have teamed up for a special that will be available at all six Thunderbird London sites. The Thaimarind Wing takes Rosa’s Thai’s tamarind sauce (by co-founder, Saiphin Moore) and added it to their Wing Fest award-winging wings, sprinkling crispy onions, coriander and toasted sesame seeds over the top.
When: Until the end of the year
The Wigmore's Toastie Takeover
The pub beside The Langham (and run by Michel Roux) is back with another round of toastie collabs. £1 from each toastie sold will be donated to the hospitality mental health charity, The Burnt Chef Project with later toasties coming from Andrea Cavita and Asma Khan. Kicking it all off is Jose Pizarro's toastie which is a manchego, Jamón Ibérico and Tomato Jam Toastie.
When: Jose's toastie is available until 30 September 2024
Le Vol-au-Vent by Hélène Darroze
New to the Autumn lunchtime menu of Hélène Darroze at the Connaught, Le Vol-au-Vent will have its filling changed every two weeks, with ingredients including lobster, rabbit or beef cheeks. So one will feature lobster, with chicken thigh confit, sweetbreads, baby turnips and a yellow wine from Arbois sauce while another will be braised beef cheek and smoked eel with roast Brussels sprouts and beef jus with a red wine reduction. There are only 15 made each day, so you might want to reserve this ahead of time.
When: Until 29 November 2024
