BBQ Lobsters from a private dinner a few weeks ago.

We've done this dish a few times over the years - this time the lobsters were very briefly poached in a Courtboullion, chilled and then the meat from the knuckles, claws and tails were placed into the cleaned shells of the lobster.

With the remaining shells and some shrimp, we made a rich roasted shellfish stock using the strained courtboullion, which was then reduced with white wine, beer, hot sauce, worcestershire, garlic, rosemary and the tomalley, brains, and all the delicious stuff from the lobster bodies before a quick strain and being mounted with a perfectly healthy amount of butter.

The lobsters got finished in a screaming hot oven, gratinated with some of the sauce, then drenched on the plate to finish.

Only some French bread and beer needed for a perfect summer lunch.

We're always available for private catering - just email or DM us to start an enquiry.

We're going going back back to Leyton Leyton.

Yes, you read that right! We’re returning to Tilbury Road, our spiritual home, for a weekend of cooking on June 26th and 27th.

Since leaving Tilbury Road at the end of 2024, the stretch of arches between Leyton High Road and Skeltons Lane has been buzzing with hospitality businesses. We’re thrilled to be returning for a weekend at Tilbury Yard, a little further down from the car park in front of our old kitchen.

We’ll be cooking over a massive barbecue, and you can expect some of our classics like chargrilled oysters, along with a small menu of British seafood and prime cuts cooked over fire with our signature Creole and Cajun flair. The team behind Tilbury Yard, the guys from Chop Shop and Leyton Calling, will be providing the drinks, and there’ll be live DJs and plenty of seating and sun cover (hopefully not rain!).

No need for tickets; just show up from 3pm on Friday 26th or 12pm on Saturday 27th. I’m not sure how busy it’ll be, but as always, I recommend arriving early to have your pick of the menu. We’ll cook until 10pm or sell out, whichever comes first!

A few weeks ago we cooked up a ultra delicious and fun menu - the menu was a real collaborative effort and such a dream to work on with the inimitable who is an absolute powerhouse of a human.

The meal started with crispy fried pork rinds coated in a special curried spiced blend, then moved onto a dressed raw scallop and carouselo cucumber, seasoned with our seafood boil spices, coconut milk and a lime leaf and Thai basil oil.

Next, a plate of grilled coconut sticky rice topped with a herbal braised hog head cheese - and then a garlic fried chicken served with a budu dressed watermelon and cashew salad.

The main event was a huge crawfish boil, cooked out in kilos of Assam Pedas paste and broth and finished with citrus - before a dessert of a deep fried mango & sago pudding pie with salted Pandan ice cream.

Thank you so much to all of yall that came through and to and the whole Mambow team who made the entire pop up so straightforward and fun.

Watch this space for more events soon 👀
