Pop-up canapé bar to serve crickets and scorpions

Edible insectsGood news for exotic food lovers. Events caterer the London Kitchen is launching a pop-up canapé bar that will serve crunchy creepy crawlies to intrepid punters this month.

The Canapé Kitchen, which will pop up for one hour every Thursday in July, will serve Thai green crickets with coriander and coconut cream, and chocolate dipped scorpions with a white chocolate and chilli fondue.

It will pop up somewhere in the City on Thursday 8 July before heading to Covent Garden on 15 and Chelsea on 22 July.

And if eating insects isn't your bag, there'll also be a more conservative menu available for the less daring diners. This will include mini Yorkshire puddings with roast beef and horseradish alongside ham hock on a toasted croute with piccalilli.


The London Kitchen was launched last year by Damian Clarkson after his previous business Red Snapper Events entered into voluntary liquidation.
