Yesterday I had a tasty lunch with sunny riverside seating at the short running Live in Italian, Live from London pop-up at Potters Fields Park. The pop-up is on for lunch and dinner today (the final of the two-day event) offering nicely priced top quality Italian food with live cooking demos too.
Hosted sparkling water super brand S.Pellegrino in partnership with two Michelin starred chefs, Theo Randall of The Intercontinental and Phil Howard of The Square, the pop-up sees the chefs cooking “each evening with an exclusively created three-course-menu, perfectly paired with fine Italian wines,” while also providing live demonstrations of each course “within an intimate candlelit setting and guests will be encouraged to ask their burning cooking questions.” During the day there’s a lunchtime service with dishes created by Chris Denney, Head Chef at the popular Covent Garden restaurant, Four to Eight. And that’s what I had for lunch yesterday – a bite of Chris’ dishes.
After a few logistical hiccups leading to a late start (must have been all that Italian fizzy water), gorgeous food was served at a very reasonable £7 for three courses plus a choice of S Pellegrino or Acqua Panna bevvies. The meal consisted of Cornish crab with seaweed, fennel, avocado and blood orange; BBQ lamb neck with an awesome caponata: and a deep fried courgette flower with tomino, beetroot, and grape must ketchup.
Potters Fields Park is located along the south bank of the Thames next to City Hall, SE1 2AA. Delicious! And definitely worth you heading over to Potters Fields Park for a taste.
