Sky High Dining
One of our most nostalgic pop-ups to date, in partner with Emirates Airline in Greenwich, we take diners to new heights of dining with this pop-up.
Sky High Dining offered a 5-course feast on the iconic Greenwich cable car while enjoying some truly incredible food with delicious drinks pairings.
We created a tailored menu of mouthwateringly good canapés in our converted garage, before you enjoy a flight menu featuring scallops, lamb rump and even ‘dessert in the clouds’ with a side of uninterrupted views of the London skyline.
DODGE at Somerset House
DODGE is home to our pop-up that serves Bumper Summer Feast sharers, starring a selection of artisan, locally-sourced light bites, such as burrata freshly made at London’s La Latteria with English heirloom tomatoes, smoked almond pesto and basil cress; London cured smoked salmon with lemon creme fraiche and pickled cucumber, and London Bread Factory rustic sourdough baguette.
Sizzling street food options feature too, with bone marrow beef burgers; chermoula spiced lamb koftas; harissa chicken kebabs; organic halloumi wraps; spiced butternut squash falafel wraps; fully-loaded fries, and smoked aubergine hummus bowls with toasted flatbread.
For a sweet summer treat, groups can build their own seriously extra sundaes, topping generous scoops of Madagascan vanilla gelato with any choice of brownie chunks, crushed meringue, fudge pieces, jelly tots, fresh summer berries, toasted nuts, salted caramel sauce or raspberry puree.
Lockdown Lodge - Henley
Our pop up, ‘A Taste of Henley’ at The Lockdown Lodge at Hambleden Lock in Henley each summer, highlights the abundance of delicious food in the surrounding Henley-On-Thames. Guests are offered a five-course tasting menu feast featuring the best local offerings.
Throughout the day, we also serve locally-sourced alcoholic drinks, proper coffees, delicious takeaway food like burgers. All takeaway food and drink is served in fully compostable containers to minimise our impact on the environment.

John Lewis Winter Carnival Rooftop
If there’s one retailer that always provides the goods at Christmas time, it’s John Lewis.
Their adverts have us in floods of tears annually and without fail and for Winter 2019 we popped up on their roof terrace on Oxford Street to serve up all the delicious food.
The Carnival Diner was a pop up with a, you’ve guessed it, nostalgic old all-American theme where diners could feast on popcorn shrimp, loaded fries, corn dogs or turkey drummers, before indulging in Oreo cheesecake bites and hot toffee apples for dessert.
The Burger Project at Roof East
Dedicating ourselves to all things burger and bun, The Burger Project is a single focused pop up cooking up a street food classic with some of the best ingredients and new takes on old school burgers.
From the familiar in our All American and our own (kick ass) burger sauce, to slow cooked real short rib chilli, as well as monthly specials from suppliers as passionate about great burgers as we are, The Burger Project is our stake to claim a place at the top of London’s awesome street food burger scene.
Vesta
An exciting unique pop-up restaurant concept that aims to take our specialised BBQ knowledge to the next level and is designed to showcase and champion one of the earliest cooking methods.
Cooking with fire is an art form, a technique that takes years to master. The concept is based around the stunning and elegantly designed Nordic cast iron Ofyr fire pit.
The highlight is its pared-back simplicity. This is simply beautiful, fresh, locally sourced produce, prepared, cooked and served by professional chefs directly in front of the customer.
Piazza at the Pier - London Bridge
Experience pizza perfection with this pop-up! What better way to pay homage to Mediterranean summer days than by visiting our Pizza Parlour and Spritz Bar!
Enjoy your pizza of dreams with starters of antipasti with nocellara olives, smoked almonds and rosemary grissini. Then build your own pizzas with all the toppings you fancy, finishing with a classic affogato.
We’re fanatical about pizza and have a deep appreciation for the perfect dough, a great sauce, obscenely good crusts, and have poured a lot of love into sourcing the freshest ingredients for the toppings which you’ll be able to taste with each bite.
Patch & Picnic
Patch & Picnic is a series of grass pop-up spaces that are just perfect for a relaxing summer afternoon.
Reserve a private picnic spot right by the Thames, plus a gourmet picnic hamper full of artesian treats. Besides good food, you’ll be able to get competitive with include Giant Jenga, Boules, Skittles, Beach Tennis and Swingball.
