18 Awesome Pop- Ups and Supper Clubs in October
We’re into the last quarter of the year and before we get stuck into Christmas there is still time for game menus, truffles, Diwali celebrations and as always, afternoon teas – although this time they come with champagne fountains…
Madison Restaurant
Dante NYC Pop-Up at Madison Rooftop Bar
From the Big Apple to London – Dante NYC, voted one of the World’s Best Bars, is residing at Madison Rooftop Bar for its first ever pop-up in London and making the skyline views even better with its knockout cocktails. Aperitivo Hour, between 4pm and 9pm, will transport you to New York with some of Dante’s greatest hits, including the Garibaldi and the Italian Sour, as well as cocktails from its ‘Negroni Sessions’ like the Chocolate Negroni. The team has even created two cocktails inspired by Madison’s rooftop scene, Rooftop Life and Endless Summer (someone should probably tell them about British weather). The pop-up leads into the World’s 50 Best Bars awards in London on 5th October, where Dante is among the rankings.

Haymarket Hotel
Whisky Dinner at Haymarket Hotel
October: love it or hate it, it’s getting autumnal out there. And what better way to beat the chill than with a warming three-course meal, and (even more warming) bourbon whisky? Old Forester is inviting guests to taste their new, limited edition Statesman Whisky, released in conjunction with ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’, while enjoying a menu that echoes its flavours from the hotel’s Head Chef. You can listen to the welcome talk from Old Forester Brand Ambassador Nate Booker (correction: you should listen, don’t be rude) before taking a seat underneath the chandeliers of the Shooting Gallery for three heavenly courses.

Hush
Hush Presents Truffle Hunting
Despite the venue name, this one is worth shouting about, because this autumn sees the cobbled courtyard at Mayfair restaurant Hush transformed into an enchanted Italian forest as they team up with Amaro Montenegro, the famous Italian spirit that uses 40 botanicals to create its flavour. Guests will be able to relax under the twinkling trees and feast on an array of truffle specials, including truffle scrambled eggs with toasted brioche and truffle and porcini mushrooms with parmesan polenta, alongside Montenegro cocktails from the award-winning bar team and Montenegro brand ambassador Rudi Carraro.
Until Sunday 19th November
Where: 8 Lancashire Court, Brook Street, London, W1S 1EY, United Kingdom
