Pop-up

We quickly became big fans of Kebab Queen, the counter restaurant below Le Bab in Covent Garden where everything's served to you on a heated countertop. It all sounds mad, but it works really, really well. 

They're now changing things up for the next few months, bringing in a guest chef to run the counter (while chef Manu Canales takes a break). It's MasterChef The

This summer there's another enticing reason to visit Borough Market, with word of West African chef Adejoké (‘Joké’) Bakare’s forthcoming pop-up at Globe Tavern. The two-month residency, Joké & Friends, will act as something of a taster before the opening of her new Chishuru restaurant in Fitzrovia, which ...

Following on from the huge success of their Dior Cafe and Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama pop-up, Harrods are at it again. They've just unveiled their latest designer collaboration - the Prada Caffè.

Open all day, serving everything from breakfast through to cocktails and bites for aperitivo, the cafe will be on the ground floor of the store until the end of the year. The fashion house says the cafe's been inspired by

We do love a good sandwich and if you do too, then a new pop-up that's coming to Vinegar Yard should be well worth a look. 

The Experimental Sandwich Shop comes from the people behind Bad Boy Pizza Society and it's all inspired by a

If there's one restaurant that seems synonymous with Hollywood (to us in the UK at least) it's Wolfgang Puck's Spago (the chef also caters the main Oscars afterparty). If you've ever fancied eating like the LA elite, now you don't even have to cross the Atlantic as Puck is bringing Spago to the UK for four days only. 

Taking over his UK restaurant, Cut at 45 Park Lane will be a special Spago pop-up,

Over the past few years once shopping hours are over, the Supermarket of Dreams in Notting Hill has been turning itself into an irregular popup izakaya showcasing various chefs and their take on sushi. Now they're about to launch it as a permanent evening spot.

Izakaya Nights features a long communal table running the length of the shop. It has pretty much a dream team running it. The chefs are

Good news for cocktail aficionados, with the return of Oriole, previously one of the World’s 50 Best Bars, to a new location. After closing its doors on New Year’s Day, as a result of Smithfield Market’s redevelopment and the Museum of London’s relocation, Oriole is hoping to summon its former Farringdon fans just over Blackfriars Bridge to The Hoxton Southwark.

It’s a

Selfridges have teamed up with Loewe, Studio Ghibli and Balboste for the immersive Howl's Moving Castle Cafe, Calcifer's Kitchen. We popped down to try out one of the hottest tickets in town. 

Here's a hot ticket for any expat Hot Dinners reader who happens to be in New York. St John are heading across the pond for a one night only pop up that's pretty much guaranteed to be a sell-out.

They're teaming up with clothing brand Drake's to bring the St. JOHN Drake's Diner to Brooklyn's Long Island Bar. Tickets for the event don't come cheap though - they're £230 (or about $275). For that though, you are

Studio Ghibli's Howl's Moving Castle is coming to Selfridges in food form as it takes over their Dolly’s Café for a month. 

It's all part of Loewe's new capture collection inspired by the movie. It's actually the third of Loewe's Studio Ghibli collections (they've already done My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away) but the first to come with a pop-up on

Norman's Cafe popped up there last year and now it's the turn of Brixton smokehouse Ruben's Reubens to take on the residency in Shoreditch's Seed Library. 

Ruben Dawnay will be in charge of the food in the bar for two months and yes, his pastrami and salt beef will be on the menu. Here's a taste of what to expect:

• Reuben spring roll - Salt

Trying to keep on top of what Harrods is doing food-wise is a tricky task. They do have a tendency to just throw open the doors on a new project without telling anyone. So their latest pop-up was open a week before we got wind of it.

Following hard upon the heels of their amazingly successful Dior Cafe pop-up over Christmas, they've now launched a new pop-up space with Louis Vuitton. It's

Having opened just in time for the upcoming Lunar New Year celebrations, Mama Chen's is a new dumpling-based popup at The Gantry in Stratford.

It began life as a delivery service during lockdown - the Mama Chen in question is founder and chef Michelle Liu's grandmother. Since then it's gone from strength to strength popping up with supperclubs and residencies across town.

Liu's latest endeavour is a

On TV he's best known for his cupid role on First Dates, but in the run up to Christmas Fred Sirieix is going to be busy serving up cocktails and cakes to Londoners.

In his role as Ambasssador to the French brand G’Vine gin, he's opening The G’Vine Cocktail Café by Fred Sirieix in the heart of Soho. For almost a week you'll be able to come and try a range of gin cocktails paired with cakes by top bakers Lily Vanilli and

There's a good chance you've seen Daniel Craig dancing around in the new Belvedere commercial and clearly that's just part of a bigger campaign - part of which has arrived in Selfridges. 

The bar will be popping up in the men's shoe department, and yes, they'll be primarily offering martinis (which you may need when you see how much those shoes just cost you). In addition to the cocktail,
