This week is a particularly exciting one as it marks the beginning of our drive to get as many London restaurants as possible to register for this year’s inaugural six-day London Restaurant Festival, which is taking place from 8-13 October 2009.
More than 400 of the capital’s restaurants have already registered their interest through the festival website – www.londonrestaurantfestival.com. Now our team has issued official registration documents and guidelines.
To make the process as simple and time-saving as possible, restaurateurs can download all the information and forms from this website and from the links below.
One of the key ‘events’ that all London restaurants are invited to take part in is the Festival Menu programme. Fay Maschler, the distinguished Evening Standard restaurant critic and London Restaurant Festival chair, believes that a Festival Menu should “encapsulate, explain and deliver the essence of each participating establishment.” Menus at different fixed price points will give potential customers confidence; places that they may have been diffident about trying become understandable and accessible.
Festival Menus provide the opportunity for restaurants of any ethnicity to convey precisely what their cuisine contributes and the part it plays in the astonishing range of restaurants that London possesses. The menus will be an opportunity to concentrate even more than usual on creativity, seasonality, surprise and good value.
Once we start to register restaurants, we will keep you regularly updated on who is on board.
