• London in the Sky 2018 trebles with three sky-high tables and three top chefs

  

  London has no shortage of restaurants with decent views but once you've eaten at London in the Sky everything else must pale by comparison. After all, what bricks and mortar restaurant can compare to being winched 100ft up in the air so you can dine suspended over the city?

  For the past four years this restaurant has been popping up all over London and for 2018 it's trebling in size and putting on an impressive roster of

• Kiln, som saa and P Franco are putting on a one night only Larb Bar

  

  Later this month, Soho hotspot Kiln is going to become the centre of London's food universe with a collaboration that's bound to have folk queueing round the block. They're teaming up with Clapton bar P.Franco and Shoreditch's som saa to become a standing-room-only Larb Bar for one night only.

  Of course you can't do anything easy like buy tickets for this ahead of time. Nope, they're selling tickets on the door for £45 on the night itself.

  And although it

  When it first started, Hot Dinners were among the first to enjoy eating in the House of Lords dining room when it opened to the public. And since then, it's become such a success that it's a regular event (and we've been back again ourselves).

  Updated 14/3/18 with a first look

• House of Commons Members' Dining Room pop-up returns

  

  Update 22/10/20 This story is from 2018. But yes, the House of Commons and House of Lords' dining rooms do open to the public on a regular basis during holidays. Sadly, the prices aren't as subsidised for the public, as they are for MPs so no £3 Michelin-level meals here. If today's news has made you mad as hell and you're in a position to be able to help out some of the charities looking out for children - here are some useful fundraising

• Tom Sellers is doing an immersive Robin Hood pop-up with a meat-heavy menu

  

  Updated 5/3/18 with new address

  You’d think if your Michelin-starred restaurant was closed for a renovation, you might be able to afford yourself some time off. Well, not if you’re Tom Sellers, who’s instead decided to make the most of it with a new, three-week Robin Hood-themed ‘immersive’ pop-up.

  He’ll be doing a ‘banquet-style’ menu riffing off the Nottingham fairytale - that's
