A new pop-up is set to launch in 180 The Strand, which will be both a restaurant and arts space. The pop-up, called Outcrop, is a joint effort between the Clove Club and Luca co-founders Johnny Smith and Daniel Willis, three of Secret Cinema’s top team — Tom Allott, Andrea Moccia and Sabrina Goreeba — and will see AngloThai’s John Chantarasak in charge of much of the cooking, with his wife and business partner Desiree Chantarasak looking after the wine.
Opening on June 23 for three months, running four days a week, Outcrop is being billed as a “verdant courtyard” and an “inner-city oasis” that will “connect guests with nature” — with publicity dubbing the project an ecologically-conscious “green social club”. It will be able to seat 30 people at a time.
