POP-UP RESTAURANTS

Pop-Up restaurants, whilst not new, have become very popular of late and essentially are temporary restaurants in all sorts of venues or supper clubs in people's homes.   On New Year's Day this year we had a rather unusual one near us when Hampton Estate set up a pop-up restaurant in the open air on Puttenham Common.   It was great fun and they served up some nice but basic dishes to quite a large crowd at lunch-time. I realy enjoyed the apple fritter. Considering the time of year they were rather lucky with the weather, although it did start to rain later on.  If you don't know about Hampton Estate, do visit their web-site as they sell some great beef and other products.
