When EVERYONE you know is raving about a particular supperclub, and you haven't been, you know it's time to get in the loop. We had heard a lot about Tata Eatery. They're regulars at Druid St and also did a hugely successful rice tasting menu collaborating with Matt Chatfield from The Cornwall Project last year at the Newman Arms.
Well Meng and Ana - along with sake sommelier Elyse Li are heading back to the Newman Arms for a Saturday residency in March.
... - The Potlatch supperclub launches in Brick Lane with former Clove Club chef
We're suckers for a good pop-up and the latest, interesting venture launching in London is taking over the Canvas Cafe just off Brick Lane for its opening night.
The Potlatch has several interesting folk involved. It's the brainchild of Nick Gilkinson - a manager with D&D London and part of the team that's just opened The German Gymnasium in King’s Cross.

Sipsmith gins are going to be serving gin-laced winter drinks up on the Ham Yard Hotel’s hidden roof terrace from the end of January until mid-February.
Hardened Londoners can drape themselves in woollen blankets whilst sipping on Hot G&Ts and Steaming Juleps.How about The Smoking Bishop (apparently a

Everyone's favourite oddball events organisers Bompas & Parr are at it again and this time they've taken their antics up to the top of The Shard. The duo are behind The Height of Winter, which has transformed The View from The Shard into an "enchanting, sensory winter experience".
What that means in practice is that they've taken over the open-air Level 72 Skydeck, adding super-scaled crystals, gem-studded snow dunes, glowing crystal benches, a
... - Claw residency comes to Dalston's Three Compasses for the winter
This rather fine looking shellfish dish is the crab burger from Claw. And if just gazing at that photo makes you fancy it half as much as we do right now, you'll be wanting to know that the streetfood folk behind it have just taken residency at The Three Compasses in Dalston.
From this week until the end of January they'll be serving up a mainly crab-based menu with all their crab coming from Start Bay in Devon.
There'll be five burgers on offer

Yes this is a natural wine box pop-up. It couldn't be more East London if it tried.
Apparently bagged wines are an economical and ecologically sound
