The Long Table
•


From the creators of the Dalston Roof Park and Nuno Mendez and the Loft Project... 

Launching on Friday 25th November and running every Friday night until Christmas - it’s East London’s first ever night time food market. Friday nights in Dalston will never be the same again. Running from 6pm until midnight the Long Table will offer an impressive hand picked selection of London’s finest street food, a bar and music. 

The best meals in life are about who you share them with. The Long Table is all about conviviality and bringing people together. Grounded in the importance of local chefs, purveyors and producers, the Long Table celebrates all different types of foods and tastes. As visitors graze the wealth of dishes on offer, they will experience the sense of warmth inherent in a big gathering. They will also be encouraged to participate in the longest online table in the world, via Twitter @TheLongTableAS and TheLongTable.net

The Long Table team have managed to provide us with another unconventional space in the heart of Dalston. Taking into consideration the adverse weather conditions, the night market is covered and provides a central banquet style table to dine throughout the evening. Bright fire logs and glowing stall lights set the tone. They are then invited to bring their choice of food to the Long Table (which really is a very long table!) and share their meal with fellow lovers of street food under a setting protected from the winter chill.  

All of this takes place in a large disused space minutes from Dalston Junction and Kingsland Road. The space is full of curiosity as it also features a WW2 Bunker which will host live visual art at each event. The transformation of the space is indicative of the Dalston area which is at the forefront of a new breed of creativity in London. 

There are clear signs of quality in this night market as Nuno Mendes, the chef genius behind Bethnal Green’s Viajante and the Loft Project will be joining The Long Table. His signature dishes which have earned their place in his restaurant will be given a street food twist. The Yum Buns’ a Taiwanese treat. Whilst the neighbourhood Turkish favourite Mangal and Glastonbury favourites Yam The Cassava will bring a local Turkish and Caribbean touch. Drinks will be flowing throughout the night.

The Long Table will open on Friday 25th November from 6pm – 12am. It is located in a secret disused space on Abbot Street, Dalston, E8 3DP. Just follow the sound of bands playing and the smell of great food.
