First Pop-Up Of The Winter

Photo by mag3737

After a few month hiatus to allow for holidays and a trip to Bestival dressed as rabbits and unicorns we are back at F. Cooke on Broadway Market from 14.30 on Sunday 14th November.

By then the clocks will have gone back an hour and the chill of winter will be upon us. As ever, we will be taking inspiration from the changing seasons and putting on a feast to lift any gloom bought by the coming of winter. Over the next four weeks will we keep you updated with the recipes we are working on and taking inspiration from.

Tickets priced at £25 per person are now on sale, which includes two alcoholic drinks. 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 November then please drop us an email at walbrookandavon@googlemail.com and we will get back to you with further details and payment info.

We look forward to seeing you in November.

The Best W&A Yet

Sunday 28th March saw us pop-up for the third time, and it was our best outing yet. Celebrating the official start of British Summer Time we served a selection of starters from the marble-topped counter, pintxos style. The more relaxed, convivial start to the meal went down well and will definitely be repeated.

As ever we must thank Lucy for her wonderful graphics and calm, collected service. Jake again provided great music and lots of hard work. Rachel was our washer-upper supreme helping out with anything that needed doing, she was so good we'll be asking her to help again.

We'll probably be back in late April or early May, until then here are some photos of a very fun day. Thank you to everyone who was there, hopefully we will be feeding you again soon.

Walbrook & Avon

Thanks to Julia Dwyer for the photos.

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.
