Foodie pop-ups: London 2022's gastronomic ventures

By Holly O'Mahony on 7/9/2022

Be wowed today by the restaurants of tomorrow and celebrate hidden supper clubs, niche bars and unlikely partnerships. Here are the London pop-ups worth catching before they vanish.

The Water House Project X Kødbyens Fiskebar

The Water House Project X Kødbyens Fiskebar

For worldly foodies, few things are quite as thrilling as seeing two stonkingly good restaurants, separated by oceans but united in vision, channel their similarities through a one-off pop-up. This month, the team behind Copenhagen’s fine-dining fish restaurant Kødbyens Fiskebar are coming to Culture Whisper favourite The Waterhouse Project in Bethnal Green for a two-night collaboration.


Fiskebar head chef Jamie Lee joins Gabriel Waterhouse in his achingly stylish, open-plan kitchen to cook up a seafood-centric, late summer menu comprising 10 courses with a six-course wine pairing for £135.

Frog by Adam Handling x JAAN by Kirk Westaway

Frog by Adam Handling x JAAN by Kirk Westaway

When two Michelin-starred chefs join forces, how many Michelin stars are you eating at their dinner table? Should there be a collective noun for when such chefs come together? It’s food for thought.

Among the offerings are Handling’s ‘egg, bacon, maitake’, and Westaway’s ‘goose mousse, roast red onion marmalade’.
