Press coverages are always special but some of them are a tad bit more special than the rest. Couple of weeks back The Telegraph in India featured a story on Calcutta Street, yes it’s a regular press story but it meant a lot more because of more reasons than one – this is a newspaper that I grew up reading , it is the largest newspaper of Calcutta (my hometown) where my family still resides. When the story was out I was sleeping here in London (it was 4 am) and my whatsapp went bonkers with messages from people who I haven’t even spoken to in years or even decades. All I can say is it was emotional.

This just makes me want to take Calcutta Street even further and work double hard to make this possible.
The next Pop Up – Saturday, 1st August
Theme – Calcutta Street Summer party with a 3 course meal and artisan beer pairing
Venue – Pelt Trader
Indian food and craft beer? sounds strange right? But trust me it will be super cool! And what’s better than breaking stereotypes?
Will post more details soon, but before that I shall leave you with a recipe from the menu of my last Pop Up at Southbank.
