## EAT OUT FOR LESS 

### Tom Kerridge Restaurant Group 

  

 

At the start of the financial crisis in 2008, Tom Kerridge created a ‘too good to be true’ set menu to help diners eat out for less. Now we’re in the midst of the cost of living crisis, Kerridge has relaunched the menu at three of his restaurants: Kerridge’s Bar &amp; Grill at the Corinthia, the Michelin-starred Coach in Marlow, and the Bull &amp; Bear in Manchester. The two-course set lunch menu costs £15 – a third course is an additional £7.50. Diners can tuck into pub grub and comforting school-dinner classics like cottage pie, lasagne, and sausages and mash, followed by spotted dick, jam roly-poly or crumble and custard.

## LISTEN TO LIVE MUSIC 

### Joe Allen 

  

 

Joe Allen in Covent Garden has opened a new bar inspired by its original sister location in NYC. For pre or post-theatre drinks, head to the front of the restaurant to find the dark walnut counter surrounded by bentwood bar stools and an extensive selection of spirits. Treat yourself to classic cocktails or champagne, and tuck into dishes from the main menu, like flat iron chicken with gremolata and fries. Every Tuesday to Saturday, there’s live music from 7pm, and there will be special performances in the coming months as part of the ‘Joe’s Bar Live’ series – singer-songwriter Natalie Lindi will take to the stage on Wednesday 5th October at 8pm.

*2 Burleigh Street, Covent Garden, WC2E 7PX*

## GET YOUR CULTURE FIX 

### Hallyu! The Korean Wave at V&amp;A 

  

 

The V&amp;A’s latest exhibition celebrates the colourful and dynamic pop culture of South Korea. From TV and film to music and fashion, it explores the phenomenon of ‘Korean Wave’ and its impact on the creative industries. Visitors will find an extensive collection of 18th and 19th-century artwork, as well as stills from Oscar-winning *Parasite* and Netflix’s *Squid Game*. There’s also an interesting collection of images of Seoul throughout the last century that show the city’s rapid development, particularly in technology.

## ENJOY NOSTALGIC DISHES 

### Seed Library x Norman’s Café 

  

 

Seed Library, the seriously cool 70s-inspired bar at the 100 Shoreditch hotel, has teamed up with north London’s Norman’s Café on a menu of classic British dishes that will transport you back to childhood. Available until mid-November, there’s a range of the café’s signatures including sliced ham with pickles and mustard, chip butties, whipped cod’s roe with Frazzles, potato smiley faces with ketchup, and chicken nuggets with Norman’s sauce. Complete the meal with a warming bowl of sponge cake with vanilla custard, and choose cocktails from Mr Lyan’s signature list – like the Bonfire Old Fashioned made with Maker's Mark bourbon.
