Pop-up

Tamila, the curry house spin-off from The Tamil Prince, has been doing great business at its three restaurants so far. But now they're trying something a little different and coming to London Fields to do so. 

They're launching a grab-and-go roti wrap pop-up that - for the moment anyway - is just running for two days. Executive Chef Prince Durairaj has created the wraps, and there will be three available:

• Chicken Thigh Roti Wrap - grilled chicken thigh in a coriander and mint marinade topped with fresh salad, coriander, tangy tamarind masala mix and onion

If you want your dinner to be more immersive and have a proper soundtrack, then it looks like Ministry of Sound have just the thing for you with Last Orders. For just two nights, the nightclub's dancefloor is being cleared for a special feast to celebrate its 35th anniversary.

They've brought in chef Brad Carter (Island), who's behind the five-course feast and who is teaming up with DJ Ralph Lawson, who's going to be providing the soundtrack for the night, which progresses through three decades of house music. 

The food takes its inspiration from the cities and

Back in May, one of London's best bars, Tayēr + Elementary, was forced to close because of a fire. The bar will reopen once the fire damage is repaired, but that's not stopping owners Alex Kratena and Monica Berg. Instead, they'll be heading into Covent Garden, taking over the basement of a relatively new bar, Cato, for six weeks. 

The bar pop-up is called Casual by Tayēr, and they're planning a series of cocktails that they say "merge the distinctive style of Tayēr with the technique and precision of Elementary". Exactly what the drinks list will be is yet to be

Updated 20/7/26 - this is a six week pop-up not a permanent opening

As longstanding local customers to N5 Kitchen in Highbury, we can personally attest to the happiness that Clerkenwell workers and residents are going to feel when they open there this month. The catering company and cafe have built up a solid business in North London with their breakfasts and lunches, which are great for anyone working from home. Now they're hoping that EC1 folk will fall in love with their offering too.

The duo behind it, founders Milly Wilson and Suzie Bliss, already cater for

Hot Dinners rounds up some of the best food and restaurant pop-ups and events around town at the moment.

Eighteen months after he stepped down as Head Pastry Chef at Harrods, Phil Khoury is back in the store with his own chocolates. Khoury, who headed up the Knightsbridge store's pastry endeavours for six years, is popping up over the summer in Harrods' Chocolate Hall. And he's bringing his bestselling chocolates with him.

The chef's solo business began after he was asked to take part in a charity bake sale for Lebanon. The resulting Beirut Bar with an orange blossom caramel and cashew baklava crunch was a huge hit and has sold out multiple times since. In fact, most of Khoury's

Having appeared in Gordon Ramsay's Knife's Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars show for Netflix, New York restaurant Coqodaq's next move was to come to London. And for the two weeks of Wimbledon, they're popping up at Gordon Ramsay's Lucky Cat in Mayfair.

If you haven't had the joy of visiting the NYC restaurant, then let us give you an idea of the place. We went to the New York restaurant a few years back on our last visit across the pond when it was newly open and

Scotland's Craigellachie Hotel has a summer alfresco pop-up called Spey Shack and until now, you've only been able to try it by heading up to Speyside when the weather's decent. But now, the same team are bringing that all the way down to Covent Garden. 

They'll be popping up at 3 Henrietta Street for eight weeks over summer, and they'll have the same focus on lobster rolls and burgers. Yes, that is a little similar to a certain other restaurant, but there's a focus on Scottish produce here. The lobster is caught natively in Scotland 12 miles from the hotel and the beef

In Islington, Homeboy has always described itself as being all about "modern Irish hospitality" and now it's about to take things one step further with a series of pop-ups from big Irish chefs throughout July, many of whom are also on our own Murphia List. 

The Dúchas Chef Series will be running Thursday - Sunday every week. It's an impressive roster, including:

2-5 July, Laurence Barrow - The Northern Irish chef was a recent

As Hot Dinners readers may know, we've become slightly fascinated by the trend of pop-up restaurants/cafes/shops to promote something that's completely unrelated to food and drink - and here's the latest.

For one weekend only, at extremely specific times (see below), a café called Two Yolks is taking over the Old Queen Street Café. Lotto (yes, the people who tease you with life-changing amounts of money) are deeming it the ‘Luckiest Café’.

What does this mean? Apparently, good things come in twos. So, this brunch pop-up has been created in a nod to Lotto’s new format

If you love the idea of trying new baked goods, but are a wee bit on the lazy side in terms of travelling across London to get them, then the coming month will see four hot London bakeries descending on Highbury.

Highbury Barn coffee shop Profile is welcoming in a different guest bakery every weekend in June, with some of the hottest bakers in town getting involved. They're promising "a rotating selection of pastries, bakes, and special releases".

The four bakeries involved are Walthamstow's Suba (6/7 June), Hackney's Forno (13/14 June), roaming bakery Tabula (20/21 June)

With perfect timing for the current hot weather, a pop-up bakery is opening its doors in East London for the weekend, serving up a range of limited-edition cinnamon rolls in a collaboration with Magnum.

The Magnum After Hours bakery is an evening-only affair, which has taken over the Roll Boys bakery for the next two nights. It's going to be serving up three limited-edition Magnum Bonbon x Roll Boys cinnamon rolls:

• Milk Chocolate & Cherry
• White Chocolate & Cookies
• Gold Caramel Billionaire

This year marks the tenth anniversary of Chuku's, who started serving up "Nigerian tapas" as a series of pop-ups before settling down in their Tottenham restaurant, which has been going strong ever since. Now, the brother and sister team of Ifeyinwa and Emeka Frederick are back on the pop-up scene too, as they've arrived at Boxhall for Chuku's Chop Shop.

They'll be the latest team to take over Kitchen No. 8, the rotating residency kitchen that keeps things fresh at the City's indoor Boxpark cousin. It'll be a little different to the Tottenham restaurant, however, being more

Last year, an olive oil pop-up arrived in Notting Hill and proved to be a big hit. So much so that it's back for another year, but this time heading to central London, popping up at Covent Garden. 

Coming once again from Citizens of Soil, The Olive Oil bar will be a month-long pop-up devoted to all things olive oil. There will be walk-in tastings at all times, where you can try all their olive oils, but if you're more organised, you can book one of their masterclasses. On offer will be 90-minute masterclasses (starting at £15), which will cover everything from cooking with the

It's been 30 years since Magnolia Bakery first opened in New York. It was catapulted to fame after appearing in Sex and the City a few years later and is still something of a pilgrimage for anyone visiting New York for the first time. But now you don't even have to do that, as the bakery is coming to London - kind of. 

As the Chelsea Flower Show kicks off, the courtyard of The OWO is to be festooned with flowers and its courtyard spot Cafe Ciel is taking the opportunity for a Magnolia Bakery team-up. They'll have a special kiosk in the courtyard where they'll be selling Magnolia's
