Following a run of successful pop-ups, the team have bought their bold retro take on regional Chinese cooking to a new home.

Ellen Parr, co-founder of The Art of Dining and Pete Kelly bring their Chinese pop-up to Clapton with their first permanent home. The menu maps the breadth of regional Chinese cooking, collected on their travels through China’s more remote corners alongside vibrant flavours influenced by Ellen’s time spent in the kitchens of Moro and Rochelle Canteen.

Accompanying the food is a short wine list - a laidback affair, championing young, environmentally conscious producers, with sparkling wines taking centre stage to compliment the heat of the dishes. Expect a similar look from their pop-ups - with Lucky & Joy’s signature pink lighting and kitsch flowers contrast the exposed brickwork and industrial tables and chairs.
