    "Because we’re bored of sitting twiddling our thumbs we thought we’d do a lil takeaway event down in the wick this Saturday," said Tom. "Same deal as the one last year, first come first served."

  • Kerridge's Garden Grill pops up at the Corinthia London

    A Hot Dinners exclusive

    It's fair to say chefs and restaurateurs are being pretty cunning when it comes to finding ways to ensure they can reopen on 12 April. Take Tom Kerridge for example. His restaurant, Kerridge's Bar and Grill, at the Corinthia London, doesn't have any outside space. But, as if by magic, the hotel's managed to conjure some out of thin air.

    To that end, Kerridge's

    Roulote is a new pop-up sandwich bar from Bar Douro

    Restaurants won't be open to customers until April (outside at least) so we're starting to see some more interesting ways that they've devised to reopen before then (particularly now that we're allowed to sit and eat in the park). 

    Roulote is Bar Douro's way of slowly getting back to business. It's a sandwich pop up, named after Portuguese street food trailers, that's being run from the

    The Joanna's burger pop-up is returning

    We may still be a little way off from actually eating in (or outside) restaurants again, but they are still finding new ways to give us a small taste of the real thing. One of those is the burger pop-up outside Joanna's in Crystal Palace. A big success on its last appearance, it's making a return this weekend. 

    There are three burgers up for grabs:

    Why? Well, because all weekend their in-store sushi bar, which is run by the modern sushi restaurant Sushi Atelier, is going to be serving up hand rolls from a pop-up stall.

    The Hand Roll Bar will be outside the front of the store with a

    Been caught out by the last delivery dates before Christmas? With most of the big wine retailers now no longer able to deliver wine before the holidays, you'll have to be a little more cunning when it comes to getting in supplies.
