Residency

Get down to Hackney Wick’s the Stour Space before the summer’s out, and you’ll be able to enjoy an al fresco canalside aperitif and traditional Italian food, thanks to Sood Family’s new residency.

A new series of chef residencies is coming to Borough Market and we have to admit - the names involved are pretty impressive, it's all about the chefs showcasing what they'd do with their upcoming restaurants.

We'll admit we are VERY big fans of Max's Sandwich Bar on Stroud Green Road. It's been the winner of Best Cheap Eats at the Observer Food Monthly Awards and, to our mind, creates some of the best sandwiches in London. But if you haven't had the chance to head to the original yet, another Max's is on the way. This time he's heading over to Dalston for an extended residency of six

Dine on 18-hour pork broth ramen, chicken karaage and milk cheesecake with sansho pepper in an Islington nano-brewery, thanks to Adam Rawson’s #Rawmen pop-up, this time running for just two weeks.

Yet more pop ups are coming to Islington; this time it’s Sunday roasts and French bistro fare, which will be landing in The Charles Lamb courtesy of Mirey’s.

The pop up, which previously ran for two months in Caledonian Road’s The Cuckoo N1, will be offering a tidy French-inspired menu to diners around Angel, with starters priced at around £6-9 and mains for £13-15. The menu is set to change

Zoe Adjonyoh is to launch a West African residency at The Sun & 13 Cantons in Soho. The pub will see the Ghanaian-Irish chef, who’s already earning praise from the Observer and Nigel Slater, will be rolling out her traditional West African

We first encountered Division 194 in a Highgate residency, and left mightily impressed. So we're very happy to report that they're back for a two-month stint at Clapham's King & Co.

In a nutshell: Caribbean meets European in Clapham’s King & Co’s newest residency

Summing it all up: Jerk roast chicken, scotch bonnet menemen and rum jerk halloumi gives you an idea of the kind of Caribbean-meets-Europe fusion pub grub that sisters Elly and Becca Perry will be dishing up - along with plenty

If you’ve been meaning to get down to Birthdays to nab one of Le Bun’s decadent burger dishes, then good news - they’ve decided to extend their residency to the 2 April.

Not only that, but they’ll be adding a few new dishes to their repertoire, including the joyfully-named Fucking Vegans (pictured above), a “proper vegan burger”. For £8, those avoiding animal products can enjoy a hearty cauliflower

The next residency at Dalston's Pamela is about to kick off as Club Mexicana takes over. They are, as the name suggests, all about Mexican food - but it's all vegan too. They're on a mission to show that vegan food can be way more than what people expect. 

They've been popping up at street food markets all over town and their menu recreates classic Mexican dishes including:
