Residency

There are a few weeks left to try the Ramen Junkie's London residency. Here's why you should...

They've been raved about by the New Yorker, and have spent the last few months roaming Paris for residencies. Now Ha’s Đặc Biệt are about to give Londoners a taste of what they've been missing.

The cult Vietamese American residency is run by chefs Anthony Ha and Sadie Mae Burns who met while working at Mission Chinese. After leaving there they forged a reputation first for their food cart and then for their

You may have seen him on Netflix's Chef's Table, or tried his food at last year's collaboration with Bone Daddies. But now ramen hot shot Ivan Orkin of Ivan Ramen fame is coming to London for a full-blown residency.

The TV star and New York restaurateur will be running his Ivan Mazemen residency at Islington food hall Neighbourhood (previously known as Sessions) for four weeks. Mazemen is Ivan's broth-less ramen

The chef behind the 80s and 90s-inspired popup Only Food and Courses is about to move into more permanent digs. Robbie Lorraine, who first unveiled his restaurant pop-up at Pop Brixton in 2020, has found his restaurant a fixed residency in Temple. He'll be taking over the food offering at The Cheshire Cheese (that's the one off the Strand, not Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street).

The pub's been taken over

If you'd like a first look at what chef Jackson Boxer (Brunswick House, Orasay) is working on for his next restaurant, he'll be previewing it for just three days next month.

Lumette will be Jackson's residency at 180 Corner at 180 Strand and it'll showcase dishes from a project the chef has been working on for most of this year "with a view to opening a new restaurant in 2023".

We're always looking out for interesting new pop-ups and residencies and a new one down in Chelsea has caught our eye. Duck + Champagne at the Chelsea Funhouse on King's Road sounds definitely worth a punt.

The key thing is that the people behind it. Steve Huggett and Claire Hodgson, have a frankly stellar CV of having worked for top restaurants here in London and New York. Steve's background includes two

The Hoxton's Rondo La Cave has been home to some interesting pop-up kitchens of late - we were impressed by their last residency Chet's.

But as Chet's winds down, it's time for a new residency, and this one is all about sandwiches. Once again they're

Having built a name for their top-tier subs in Camberwell, sandwich slingers Mondo Sando are doubling up. They're just about to open a second South East London residency, this time at The White Horse in Peckham.

The lockdown-born business will serve up a new roster of sarnies, alongside an extended menu of dishes using the pub's charcoal grill.

The all-day dining residency will also feature yakitori skewers, merguez

If your game was really good during lockdown you might have been lucky enough to try a delivery from Goila Butter Chicken. Mumbai-based celebrity chef Saransh Goila has - and these are their words - "single-handedly turned butter chicken into a religion in India". His secret? Apparently it's hiking up the tomato to dairy ratio as well as plenty of smoke. The chicken in question comes from Yorkshire's Herb Fed farm and he

They've popped up at the pub before in the guise of Ground Burger, and now The Ethical Butcher is back for a full residency at The Spurstowe Arms in Hackney. 

The Ethical Butcher, as the name gives away, has a specific focus on the highest ethical standards of meat production. So that means meat that's outdoor-reared, with minimal intervention,

After taking over the food at Five Points' Pembury Tavern Pub, Ace Pizza are gearing up for another Five Points residency - this time at the Mare Street taproom under the arches. They've been popping up there from time to time, but this will now be an

A promising new pop-up is landing at Dalston's Newcomer Wines for a spring alfresco menu. SSAW Collective (Spring Summer Autumn Winter) is a community of growers and makers focused on ethical and seasonal produce, while Newcomer itself focuses on an all organic, biodynamic and natural wine list.

This residency has now ended

They kicked off as a delivery-only kitchen near the beginning of Lockdown 1.0 and just as we emerge from Lockdown 2.0, Hot 4 U are getting their own place. They're starting a long-term residency at The Plough in Homerton, so if you're yet to try them, now's your chance. 

If you need catching up, Hot 4 U are Eddy Tejada (ex-St

With restaurants reopening on 2 December (we hope), there's news of a brand new residency from Rogues London to look forward to. The team, Freddie Sheen and Zac Whittle who originally met at Galvin La Chapelle, have recently popped up in Parlour at Kensal Rise (including a lockdown delivery service) and now they'll be taking over Hackney Coffee Company in the evenings and brunch at

You may have seen them before at Flat Iron Square. Now Spanish burger merchants Edu are about to kick off a new nearby residency, settling in Bermondsey pub The Spit and Sawdust. 

They call their offering "Mixto" being a mix of Spanish and international cooking. Burgers coming to the pub will be:
