The Pig Club Creole Super pop up restaurant

Event information

The Pig Club goes undersea to find inspiration for Creole Super, a New Orleans themed pop up restaurant taking place on the 18th April at Cre8 Lifestyle Centre in Hackney Wick, a building with a watery history. It used to be the Eastway Public Baths and soon will be accommodating 100 guests for a celebration of food and art.

Three courses menu, stand up comedy, DJ on the deck with a fine Southern American vinyl selection, an indie-gospel band, a comedy cabaret due and an exhibition of illustrations by two artists inspired on Louisiana's most exciting city.

From the hands of responsible fishers and fish farmers, the Pig Club created a fishist regime menu. It will be serving locally sourced crayfish - supplied by Bob Ring who took on the mission to eradicate American Signal Crayfish from British waters with the project Crayaway-, and Monkfish by Kernowsashimi - a Cornish inshore family of fishers. Organic vegetables will also be part of the show.

The Pig Club is making the most of the New Orleans melting pot cuisine bringing to the plate Italian, French, West Indies influences using fresh British ingredients from suppliers who care about sustainability. Guests can expect many layers of flavours inspired on contemporary creole cuisine.

The ticket is £40 for an evening that starts at 7pm and goes till 12am with great food and good entertainment.

Stand up comedy

Ben Target is an international performer and professional idiot. His wildly creative style earned him an Edinburgh Comedy Award nomination.
'Staggeringly inventive and sometimes unnerving, this highly physical performer is a true original and a legend in the making' GUARDIAN

Matthew Highton is a stand up comedian and storyteller. He crafts imaginative and memorable flights of fancy, packed with idiosyncrasies.
'We are potentially watching one of the super-comics of the future.' FRINGE GURU

Indie-gospel band
Rafaeli & the Real
The sound could be described as indie-gospel: at times uplifting, euphoric, poetic, and catchy as hell.
