Barney Pau and Urania dinner the Hoxton
Winder Ton, founder of fragrance brand Urania, is teaming up with culinary creative Barney Pau for a fragrance-and-food paired dinner at the Hoxton Shoreditch this month. The perfume workshop and feast is set to be exactly that: a chance for guests to craft their own scent, led by Ton, while enjoying a four-course menu created by Pau.
Tickets £75, August 3, 81 Great Eastern Street, EC2A 3HU, thehoxton.com
Hearth + Tine at Bottle and Rye
![](https://static.standard.co.uk/2022/09/22/10/newFile-1.jpg)
Hearth and Tine is an Irish-led food concept from the mind of Lawrence Barrow. This summer, it’s taken residency at Robin Gill’s Tap and Bottle, Brixton. The dishes are light and seasonal, with flavours including cured sea bream with elderflower, oysters Rockefeller, smoked cod's roe with potato bread and mackerel with summer tomatoes all present in a small but well-formed menu.
404-406 Market Row, SW9 8LD, bottleandrye.com
Naz Hassan at Carousel
After his July dinners at The Sea The Sea, Naz Hassan heads to Carousel for his latest short residency. Tickets look scant, with only a handful remaining, but the eight-course menu (at £65-a-head) includes the likes of a stuffed courgette flower with paneer bhurji and beef nihari (a kind of stew) with roti and pickles. This level of creative Indian food doesn’t come around often, so it’s one not to miss.
Until August 3, 19-23 Charlotte Street, W1T 1RW, sevenrooms.com
Anya Hindmarch Ice Cream Shop
![](https://static.standard.co.uk/2022/07/18/11/THe%20AH%20Ice%20Cream%20Project%20Group%202.jpeg)
Perello olives were something of a zeitgeist food product last year, but apparently Londoners needed a little more. Anya Hindmarch’s Belgravia café flogs a tin of biscuits for £45, but the summer ice cream shop has always been a more reasonable offering, with scoops for £4.50. There is, of course, a briny olive-flavoured ice cream, but also expect Branston Piccalilli, Sarson’s Vinegar, Heinz Baked Beans and Filipo Berrio Pesto flavours, alongside McVitie’s Penguin biscuits and Bird’s custard.
Until August 18, 11 Pont Street, SW1X 9EH, anyahindmarch.com

Rahel Stephanie at Carousel
![](https://static.standard.co.uk/2024/01/22/15/16/Exterior.jpg)
Rahel Stephanie has gone from strength to strength over the past two years, and her legendary supper clubs are a must for food lovers in London. Spoons was once a fully plant-based endeavour, but lately the supper clubs have expanded to include a handful of meaty dishes. No hardship as Stephanie’s August Carousel residency menu is set to include marinated beef ribs, gizzard skewers and a mackerel sambal matah.
Tickets from £69.5, August 6 - 10, 19-23 Charlotte Street, W1T 1RW, carousel-london.com

Chef Lucy Timm has been described as a “one to watch” and this month is hosting a number of shorter residencies across town. Timm is set to cook at Pesero and Albers, as well as a stint at Little Cellars. Timm’s CV includes Sager & Wilde and Royale, the now-closed sister restaurant to Leroy. The menu might change with availability, but is likely to include heirloom tomatoes with chickpeas and za’atar, lamb kofta with pine nuts, and white crab with creme fraiche, apricot harissa and a chive tartlet.

Dr Arielle Johnson at Seed Library
![](https://static.standard.co.uk/2024/07/30/12/19/SEED-LIBRARY-2-BY-CAITLIN-ISOLA.jpg)
Ryan Chetiwardena’s Seed Library is a gem of a bar, and it's set to be the venue for Dr Arielle Johnson, the former head of the noma research lad MAD and director of science at Noma projects, for a one-off five-course menu inspired by Johnson’s new book, Flavorama. Fusing science, food and drinks, engineered for deliciousness, sounds a dream.
