Aveqia – DIY Restaurant


It’s a lot more than a Do it Yourself restaurant. Following success in Sweden, Aveqia has opened in London. Aveqia is described as ‘a top-class restaurant as well as a social event and place to carry out team building activities and ideas’. Taking the idea of client dining to the next level, you have the opportunity to cook with your party as well as enjoying the fruits of your  hard work – a term described as ‘active cooking'.















Its a great idea and one we can see as a great opportunity also for workplace and employee catering operations.

Park Catering Advice


Park cafes often have a loyal following from dog walkers. The Serpentine Bar & Kitchen in Hyde Park has a very polite but clear sign advising of the rules for dogs. Explaining the position often makes it much easier for catering customers to understand the reason for such decisions.

However, they were more than happy to provide us with a water bowl for our very own Mr B to refresh himself outside.

Bubbledogs


Opened on the 29th August and located on Charlotte Street, London, Bubbledogs is to put it in their own words,  ‘the unlikely coupling of gourmet hot dogs and grower Champagnes’. There’s even a breakfast dog!

Champagne + Fromage


Described as ‘a combination of two favourite French imports bringing rustic fare and fizz to London’. Located in Covent Garden, the Champagne + Fromage menu includes tartines, frogs’ legs, snails, charcuterie and a wide selection of cheeses and champagne.

Monthly cheese and champagne masterclasses are held covering various topics, including teaching guests how to pair cheese and Champagne.

The trend for eateries serving Champagne with more rustic and often less obvious food choices in down to earth environments continues to gather apace. See our next Foodshort for a less obvious Champagne combo.
