- Hot 4 U 's new residency is Beak at The Haggerston

... - The "mostly vegan" Tendril returns - popping up near Regent Street
After a popular (and much extended) pop-up at The Sun and 13 Cantons, chef Rishim Sachdeva is bringing back Tendril for another pop-up (with a permanent restaurant to come too).
The new pop-up will be just off Regent Street (most recently where Bindas Eatery was and Stem before that). As before, it will be all about (mostly) vegan dishes using his

- A Stranger Things pizza pop-up has appeared in London
The wait is finally over as the latest series of Stranger Things has finally arrived (well, the first half of it anyway).
A big launch from Netflix usually sees them putting on an event or two in London, and this is no exception. This time, they've gone down the pizza route and have opened a branch of Surfer Boy Pizza (as seen in the show) called a Slice of the Upside Down.
... - Carousel brings US burger bar Lucky Buns to London for a long-term pop-up in Fitzrovia
If you’re in the mood for burgers or have ever encountered Lucky Buns while on your travels in Washington DC or Baltimore, then you’d best get to Carousel Fitzrovia next month, because the US burger brand is about to take over the 12-seater incubator space that frequently hosts guest chefs from around the world.

... - Chet's sees LA's Night + Market chef come to London for a Thai meets Americana pop-up

... - Chatsworth is popping up at Sotheby's with a Jubilee menu
Here at Hot Dinners we've long been thinking we'd love to do a trip to Derbyshire to visit Chatsworth (the alleged inspiration for Jane Austen's Pemberley in Pride and Prejudice). But it's a fair old distance from London and we just haven't got around to it yet.
Happily for us, the team from the Duke and Devonshire's estate are making the trip down to London instead. As part of the Jubilee celebrations,
... - Mayfair's Brown Hart Gardens is getting an Amalfi-themed terrace for summer
It's been host to a rather crazy interactive installation for a few months now, but now Brown Hart Gardens is also getting a new terrace for the summer.
The Stripes Amalfi Terrace is taking over most of the garden and giving it an Amalfi makeover. That
... - The Sunny Side Up cafe is a Veuve Clicquot breakfast cafe in Soho
Veueve Clicquot is coming to Soho with The Sunny Side Cafe, a pop-up that's a little different from their standard fare. Yes, there's Champagne (of course) but this is also a pop-up that's their own take on a classic greasy spoon cafe. As you can imagine from the Champagne house, it's going to be very different from the greasy spoons that you'll have encountered
... - The Dorchester Bar moves to the rooftop for a spring pop-up
The Dorchester Rooftop proved to be a pretty big hit when it opened last year (although Jay Rayner wasn't a fan). The space was previously a (very expensive) apartment/suite and saw the hotel converting it into a bar and restaurant.
After being closed for winter (it's not blessed with a retractable roof) it's opening up again for the summer where you'll find the main bar of

Korean Toast comes from the hugely popular Korean Englishman YouTube channel, a channel

Fancy impressing your boss or work colleague with a business lunch with a difference this week? Well, if you move fast, there are still tickets available at Subway's swanky pop-up restaurant at West India Quay. And yes, we did use the words swanky and Subway in the same sentence.
The pop up on a yacht by West India Quay is publicising the sandwich chain's ‘Meal Deal Millionaire’ prize draw. To that end, they're offering
... - Tinie Tempah brings RAPS fried chicken to the John Lewis rooftop
The latest celeb to get into the food game is rapper Tinie Tempah. While you may immediately think "it's going to be something to do with tempeh, isn't it?" it is, in fact, a new fried chicken venture called RAPS (we see what he did there).
It's in two parts - delivery and a pop-up at the John Lewis rooftop space Willows on The Roof. He's teamed up with chef Big Has for
... - Another Pantry brings food from London's best restaurants to King's Cross
A pop-up food store is coming to Coal Drops Yard for one week and it'll have an extremely impressive array of goods from some of the UK's best restaurants.

- A rosé bar is popping up at Selfridges
With spring nearly upon us, Selfridges is launching a special rosé bar for the season. Teaming up with Moët Hennessy, they're opening Rosé Lumière - a space that's designed to be like a "traditional romantic French cinema house."
There are two parts to this pop-up. You can grab a stool at the bar or, if you're going all-in on rosé, take over the six-seater booth. The wine on offer will be from Veuve
