I am particularly pleased to announce that Pizza Express are fully behind London Restaurant Festival and are planning on serving a Festival Pizza in around 100 of their London restaurants during the festival.
Fay and I have always maintained that the London Restaurant Festival is not just about the big name chefs and exclusivity but also about celebrating the restaurants that make up the everyday fabric of many Londoners’ lives and there are few better examples of this than Pizza Express. So we are thrilled to have them on board.
I’m also pleased to announce that the London Restaurant Festival is set to have its own “pop-up” space for six weeks or so in the run up to the festival. The space is a fantastic unit in the centre of Covent Garden and it will function as a press office, ticket booth for events, and also as a focal point for information and awareness about the London Restaurant Festival.
We must thank our partner Covent Garden London for agreeing to allow us to set up camp for a few weeks in this brilliant spot. It will really help us establish the festival in year one and also be extremely useful for those who want to find out more about the festival and talk to some of the team.
The plan is to have this up and running at the beginning of September in time for the main press launch of the London Restaurant festival 2009 which will be on September 9.
I’ll be back soon with more news as we move forward. In the meantime any restaurateur who wants to get hold of the registration forms can now do so by downloading them from the links below:
