Jemma Harrison's Sunday Pop-up at Giacco's, N5

 


Jemma Harrison, a British chef, is doing a short pop-up series at Giacco's, a bar and restaurant in Highbury, N5.  She was there last Sunday (2nd), and will be there this Sunday (9th Feb 2025), cooking a very comforting menu with fresh produce and pasta.

I loved the two dishes I tried last weekend - the fried skate (below), and the angolotti del plin (above) - small pinched parcels of pasta with chicken and cabbage.

One trend we've seen emerging recently is the rise of these very short term events - often just a long weekend or even a day - giving the host restaurant more variety in their offering, and letting independent chefs spread their wings by trying new things.

Jemma is only doing one more date at Giacco's - this Sun 9th - but follow her to see where she will be next, and follow Giacco's to see who their next guest in the kitchen will be.

When - Sun 9th February 2025

Where - Giacco's, 176 Blackstock Rd, London N5 1HA

Haveli Indian Kitchen's Residency at The King & Co in Clapham

 


Haveli Indian Kitchen, founded by chef Sachin, is now in the kitchen at The King & Co, the craft beer pub in Clapham, SW4, which delights in hosting pop-ups chefs,  

Haveli's menu for The King & Co is a great mix of street food - think wraps, buns, samosas and more - and curries, with five to choose from, including Butter Chicken, shown above.

Recent years has seen a resurgence of Indian food in pubs - and the rise of 'Desi Pubs' as documented in David Jesudason's book of the same name - and it is great to be able to eat a fantastic curry while sitting in the local, with a great choice of draught and craft beers.  Obviously this does not make The King & Co a Desi Pub - the best one I know in South London is The Gladstone Arms near Borough - but it's a great menu and I'm looking forward to going back for more before early March.

When - Mondays-Saturdays until early March 2025

Monday-Friday evenings, Saturday all day from 12pm

Where - The King & Co, 100 Clapham Park Rd, London SW4 7BZ

Bookings - via the The King & Co

Magic Momo's 6 Month Residency at Nam Long, SW5

 

(Showing the momo plates from an earlier residency)

Magic Momo - founded by chef Daisy Beale - has taken over the kitchen at Nam Long, the restaurant and cocktail bar at 159 Old Brompton Rd, SW5 0LJ, serving a mix of momo dumplings and small plates, from 7pm to 9.45pm, Wednesdays to Sundays.  

I've known Daisy for a couple of years, through frequent pop-ups ranging from 3 months at The Rose and Crown in NW5 to supper clubs at Eggbreak in Notting Hill.  Landing this is a great coup; hoping to visit soon.

"We’re excited to welcome Daisy Beale, our new chef, who’s taking over the Nam Long kitchen and bringing her Magic Momos to the table. From small plates and steaming dumplings to sharable dishes, Daisy’s menu is inspired by her travels, time in Thailand, and running her restaurant, all with a focus on bold Southeast Asian and Himalayan flavours.

After discovering the magic of momos in Nepal, Daisy made them a signature dish in her restaurant. Now, she’s bringing her unique take to Nam Long, blending dynamic, authentic flavours with a modern twist to each dish – from Soft shell crab and Dumpling salad to Mushroom & truffle momos, and larger plates such as Grilled king prawns with coconut chilli relish, perfect for sharing."

When - Weds-Sun evenings, 7pm-9.45pm

Where - Nam Long, 159 Old Brompton Rd, SW5 0LJ
