Basement Gallery - dine on a Tube carriage

What is it?

While the company is known for its array of multi-location dining interactions throughout London, its most famous concept is the Underground Supper Club hosted in a decommissioned 1967 Victoria Line carriage.

When can I eat?

It’s an almost sold-out run for the Underground Supper Club, with the last few seats available for next Thursday 5 March at 6.30pm. Price per person is £40 for a multi-course tasting menu.

No luck?

The Basement Galley team also host The Ship’s Kitchen, serving up haute-cuisine at the captain's table on a massive 1914 Dutch barge in Barking.

M Restaurants – chow down with your pooch

What is it?

The restaurant, created by former Gaucho managing director Martin Williams, is marking Easter with a pedigree pooch brunch party. Perfect for fellow dog lovers to meet one another, as well as learn new tricks, dishes on the human menu will include duck eggs with soldiers and spring lamb. A canine Easter egg hunt, a two-course meal, a doggy bag for each pooch, a behaviourist to discipline dogs and an artist who will paint ‘paw-traits’ will also be on offer.

When can I eat?

On Saturday 28 March priced at £25 for one human and their furry friend.

No luck?

Ditch the pooch and pick up a gourmet hot dog, and a glass of bubbly, at Bubbledogs. The London restaurant has just started serving up a breakfast variety topped with crispy black pudding, tomato jam, a fired egg and bacon bits.

Edible Playground – childhood games in food form

What is it?

Food, design and events company Christabel’s is inviting you to get nostalgic with its latest pop-up dining experience featuring chocolate ganache Lego, snakes & ladders bruschetta and paint-your-own chicken.

When can I eat?
