Something for the weekend

Following on from the mix by Walbrook & Avon/dollop DJ; The Otley Express, here's a mix by the Brighton based producer/DJ Splintz.

This mix is full of ripe, juicy house flavours. The driving, almost tribal top notes make this the perfect accompaniment for roast lamb or chicken. The funkier, soulful base notes and arabesque hints mean it also works well with meze-style salads or grilled fish. Again this can be enjoyed with food or whilst cooking. Best served chilled.

Reppin' LDN

We have been featured on the wonderful Pop Up Fresh alongside some great pop-ups in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Tokyo and Taipei. It's definitely a site worth keeping an eye on for other pop-up shops, restaurants, exhibitions and parties.

Something for the weekend

Here is a mix by the sometime dollop DJ and Walbrook & Avon's in-house musical enabler; The Otley Express. This is a laid back mix with hints of techno and some developed dub base notes. Best enjoyed with something fragrant or robustly spiced. Can be enjoyed with food or whilst cooking.
Best served chilled.

Following the success of our last event I am pleased to announce that we will be holding the next Walbrook & Avon on the afternoon of Sunday 14th February at F. Cooke on Broadway Market, Hackney.

Tickets, priced at £25 per person, are now on sale for our yummy 3 course set menu, plus cheese and 2 glasses of wine. Places are limited and to ensure fairness we operate on a first pay first served basis.

If you would like to sample the delights of Walbrook & Avon on Sunday 14th February then please drop us an email at walbrookandavon@googlemail.com and we will get back to you with further details and payment info. We will then circulate the menu.

We look forward to seeing you on the 14th.

Pop-up restaurants on BBC1's Inside Out

Monday night's Inside Out show on BBC1 featured a piece on pop-restaurants in London.

Hello and welcome

Walbrook & Avon is a new pop-up restaurant run by Polly Clifton and Paul Allen. We aim to share our enjoyment of food and cooking through lovingly put together menus using predominantly seasonal British ingredients. We are lucky enough to be able to pop-up in the wonderful F. Cooke pie and mash shop on Broadway Market, Hackney. The interior of the shop dates back to the 1930s and the original tiled walls, marble table tops, wooden benches and huge mirrors provide us with an amazingly stylish place in which to entertain.

The aim of this blog is to keep you up to date with when Walbrook & Avon is popping up so you can come along. If laziness doesn't get in the way we will also write about other things; a lot of which will probably be related to food in some way.

Walbrook & Avon, where we cook food, serve love.
