It is an opportunity to see if you actually like being at the sharp end without going to the immense expense of setting up a business. <br /><br />And I agree, Patrick. They need to have something going for them other than just being a pop-up (in H & F's case a great venue/art for sale/charity aspect) Themed food from cuisines that are rarely cooked would tempt me too.Fiona Becketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970779962455905201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917691940652886496.post-89107135288967867882010-02-10T10:08:40.169+00:002010-02-10T10:08:40.169+00:00pop-ups need more of a USP than merely being pop-u...pop-ups need more of a USP than merely being pop-ups, especially if charging restaurant pricesPatrick Carpenterhttp://patrickcarpenter.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917691940652886496.post-15349956239846013332010-02-10T09:52:13.169+00:002010-02-10T09:52:13.169+00:00I'm not sure pop-ups do have the advantage of ...I'm not sure pop-ups do have the advantage of novelty anymore. The first one's popped up, pardon the bad, bad punning, a year or so ago and if they have made it into the scripts of BBC comedies (aka Material Girl) then they're not exactly sitting on the cutting edge. <br />I hope they stick around as long as they continue to give people (new chefs/foodies and alike) an opportunity to try their hand at restaurantaur-ism a go without having to start up a full-blown venue. It also gives an attractive sense of exclusivity that Londoners LOVE.

Haven't been to many pop-ups at all, but the setting for this one was just right.
