FOOD & DRINK
CALCUTTACANTEEN
After a four year journey that began as
a supper club in her home, Asma Khan
founded Darjeeling Express in 2017; an
Indian restaurant run by a team of women
with no formal training, who learnt from
their grandmothers and cook straight from
the heart. Her Soho restaurant showcases
home-cooked Northern Indian, Bengali and
Hyderabadi cuisine and has attracted praise
from the likes of Grace Dent and CODE
Hospitality who named her one of the Top
100 Influential Women in Hospitality earlier
this year. Launching at Market Halls Fulham,
Calcutta Canteen is a new concept with a
focus on authentic street food from Calcutta.
Kati rolls and Puchkas will be available
alongside zingy Chaat and Phulki lentil fritters
which are suitable for vegans. They will also
be making masala chai, fresh mango lassi and
salted cumin lassi and serving these alongside
traditional Indian soft drinks Thumbs Up and
Limca.
SOFT SERVE SOCIETY
Inspired by Asia’s soft-serve ice cream
parlours, Soft Serve Society is a fun-loving
soft-serve dessert bar that specialises in
premium soft serve ice cream, bubble teas
and sundaes. Since opening, Instagram has
been plastered with their unusual charcoal
coconut flavour, rotating weekly specials and
assortment of lavish toppings and conceptions
including affogatos, honeycomb pieces,
marshmallows and gourmet popcorn.
BUTCHIES
Landing third in Time Out’s Public Vote for
London’s Top Street Food and dubbed “The
Best Fried Chicken in London”, Butchies is sure
to bring their ever-growing queues to Fulham.
Founded by Garrett Fitzgerald, provenance,
quality produce, and sustainability are at the
heart of Butchies. Garrett sources premium,
sustainable ingredients, including higher
welfare, slow reared free-range chicken from
Somerset. The Butchies journey started at
Broadway Market in 2014 with the intention of
creating the ultimate fried chicken sandwich for
London. Since then, the team have been serving
up fried chicken sandwiches at events around
the UK and now have a standalone restaurant in
Shoreditch. Alongside fried buttermilk chicken
sandwiches, Butchies serves up award-winning
wings, including their Buffalo hot wings.
