- McCain’s Roastaurant pops up in Brick Lane with 6m sq tray of roast spuds
We confess, when we first heard that lord of the oven chips McCain was running a pop-up, we didn’t quite know what to expect. Southern fries butties? Truffled oven chip mash? Spicy wedges dauphinoise?!
Instead, the frozen food brand has chosen to focus on roasts, offering “the choice of over 100,000 possible roast combinations” in something that sounds not too far off a Toby

Every once in a while a press release comes in that is a total gift. Today it's the news that NUNdos is coming to Shoreditch. As you might have hoped/guessed from the name, it's a pop-up restaurant staffed by nuns.

Inside Shoreditch's giant M by Montcalm hotel (the one with the optical illusion windows - you know what we mean), there's a new restaurant by the name of PLATE from very well-connected chef Arnaud Stevens. Inside, they'll forgo tablecloths and sommeliers in the name of casual dining, and include a downstairs bakery that'll serve a bread flight with matching butters.
