BritDish: American Express event

Tradition with a twist … Created for, and exclusively available to, American Express Cardmembers, London Restaurant Festival 2011 saw five renowned international chefs reinterpret some of Britain’s most well-known dishes. Think an Indian take on Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding or a molecular gastronomic approach to Sticky Toffee Pudding. Their inspired creations challenged the belief that a classic dish cannot be improved. Angela Hartnett, Vivek Singh, Nuno Mendes, Bruno Loubet, above, The River Room … completely turned the notion of Sunday lunch on its head.

Ticket price included a complimentary drink and a three course lunch (not including wine)

Side orders

A fundamental part of the London Restaurant Festival are the 'fringe' events which we call Side Orders. While LRF creates and operates the larger scale events as outlined opposite we really encourage all those working in the capital's restaurant scene to get creative and devise their own events to run throughout the festival. In 2010 we had over a dozen of these Side Order events going on including the Savoy Truffle Club, Bistroteque pop-up, a Cloudy Bay wine and food matching dinner and Street Kitchen, the mobile restaurant in an airstream. All were a sell-out and garnered plenty of publicity. No matter how small or how off-the-wall, we are interested in hearing your ideas and including them in the line up for LRF 2011. LRF is here to help chefs and restaurants poke their heads above the parapet and get noticed. So please get in touch with Adam Coghlan.
