Eat film

2011: Three of London's hippest five-star hotels – The Firmdale Groups' Soho Hotel, Charlotte Street Hotel and Covent Garden Hotel – hosted LRF's popular regular film festival, Eat Film, in partnership with S. Pellegrino, LRF's Official Water Partner.

The films were chosen by three industry insiders who introduced the film and explained the reasons behind their selection. After the film the guest host answered questions during a Laurent-Perrier champagne reception. Daunt Books sold signed copies of the guest host's latest book – after which guests sat down to a 3 course dinner inspired by the guest host.

The Menus are specially created by the hundreds of participating restaurants and are available to customers throughout the Festival period.

Call to Action!

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.
