Last week we sent out a “call to arms” to encourage as many London restaurants as possible to sign up and take part in the inaugural London Restaurant Festival.
Happily the response has been really enthusiastic. Hundreds of restaurants of all sizes, cuisine and budget have been requesting registration forms. These are now filtering back and we are hoping that our first-year target of 1,000 restaurants might be reached by the time the festival kicks off in October.
The restaurants involved will all be running their own Festival Menus. These are a bedrock of the festival. Below is an outline of just what we mean by the Festival Menu “event”:
The London Restaurant Festival is not about coupons and vouchers. Instead, the participating restaurants will offer great value, and inventive cooking, to customers through their Festival Menus.
These will run throughout the festival at all participating restaurants from The Wolseley to family-run independents and from Pizza Express to hidden gems that few have experienced.
The Festival Menu ‘event’ is inclusive and wide-ranging. Lunch menus of two courses will be priced at £10, £15 or £20 (whether drinks are included depends on the restaurant). Dinner menus of two courses will be priced at £15, £25 and £40.
There is no limit to the number of restaurants that can run their own Festival Menu and all will be listed on the London Restaurant Festival website – www.londonrestaurantfestival.com
