Yeah so starting from 16th – 25th September, the entire St. Pancras station is going to turn into an indoor food market. This is to celebrate the launch of Source Market inside the station and lots of overly famous celebrity chefs (Corrigan, Kochhar) will be flogging themselves too. This actually looks like it might be fun, lots of free demonstrations and stuff like that. I’ve promised the organisers that I would show up on Friday the 18th to have a look see, and maybe grab an autograph or two, even though I’m not the biggest fan of the Benares brand, but oh well, can’t say no to a food fest. See you there perhaps? All the details on the official site. Like this blog? Why not subscribe to the email newsletter ; alternatively you can subcribe to the RSS feed
