One of my foodie friends is going out with a chef. A pretty ideal match.
He is currently working at a pop-up out in London Fields. It is in Climpson's arch, and is the perfect place on a warm summer evening.
The railway arch has a huge coffee roaster at the back, a bar and seating area as well as DJ set in the middle, and then a shipping container turned into a kitchen outside, with a large outdoor seating area and huge ovens.
The menu changes every weekend so it is presented on a blackboard by the kitchen. It is only open Thursday until Sunday, so they spend the week sourcing ingredients and planning the menus. Just to wet the appetite a bit...
Steak onglet with chimmichurri salsa.
Lamb belly with jersey royals and wild garlic pesto.
Steak tartare with cured egg yolk.
Squid with black ink creme fraiche.
Strawberry sorbet with meringue, fresh strawberries and basil and mint sauce
Espresso martinis in the sunshine, with flowers by Grace and Thorn.
We all just order a dish of everything on the menu and then pass them around. You end up trying things you have never tried before, and marvelling at the amazing tastes. They also have amazing 7% vintage cider, and great rose as well as local ales and lagers.
The perfect way to spend a lazy sunday afternoon, or to experience the DJs at night.
