When we’re not hosting events or coming up with new food concepts, we like to spend our time hanging in east London: the mix of cultures, styles, pubs, clubs, bars and food venues makes for a fun place to be at the weekend.
The Rebel Dining Society, founded by Shay Ola with his DJ partner and friend Charlie Purdie, turned what was a small pop-up into one of east London’s most talked-about dining events. As part of the Bombay Sapphire Imagination Series they have been working closely with Bombay Sapphire to co-curate an evening on 18 August which will feature a travel-themed edible interactive experience. See below for more information and good luck on securing a place to join us!
I hope you enjoy our guest edited UJ Weekend Guide,

An evening full of colour, taste and theatre, Bombay Sapphire and Rebel Dining Society have come together to co-curate an event which will take you on a multi-sensorial voyage of imagination, an intriguing quest to find the Alchemist's Paradise through five unique adventures – including creating a cocktail of bubbles, bringing a ballerina to life and flying through edible fog – engaging all the senses and offering a taste of true imagination. It's going to be an unforgettable night! Please RSVP here to be in with a chance of securing a place for you and a guest. Successful applicants will be notified by Tuesday 16 August.

The Rebel Dining Society's Shop Recommendation
Supernice
There is a wicked interiors shop on Columbia Road called Supernice and we are totally into their Sock Monkey wall stickers. It’s worth a stop if you’re in the area on a Sunday for the flower market – they also do all kinds of wall graphics by Threadless and other designers, as well as plates, cushions and wallpaper silhouettes.
Supernice, 106 Columbia Rd, E2 7RG

The Rebel Dining Society's Escape
Regents Canal
Regents Canal is a cool place to unwind, being in the centre of London yet so close to nature and tranquility is pretty unique.

Nomad Cinema: Cinema Paradiso
Sponsored Listing
Pure escapism is what we’re in need of right now, so we’re putting our names down for this screening of the Italian classic. A glass of sparkling wine, a balmy evening, a nostalgic story about a young boy’s love for cinema in pre-television era Sicily: sounds like the perfect end to a weekend. Take a stroll around Holland Park’s stunning Kyoto Garden and have afternoon tea in the Orangery first.
Sun 21 Aug,
Opera Holland Park, W8 6LU

The Night Jar’s Flambé Trolley with Bombay Sapphire
With London’s mixology scene being so vibrant, we’re all used to bartenders making a performance out of juggling shakers – but it’s only now that bars are translating that theatricality to the world of food. At The Night Jar, just across the road from Shoreditch Grind, creative chefs are flambéing their food in Bombay Sapphire and serving it up with the very best of old-fashioned service. Each dish is paired with a drink from the menu, and the food itself is infused with flavours from the liquor. It’s a new kind of foodie night out.
Flambé Trolley with Bombay Sapphire available now until end of Sept.
The Night Jar, 129 City Road,
EC1V 1JB.

Recipe
Bombay Sapphire Tom Collins
The Bombay Sapphire Collins is a fantastic long, light refreshing summery cocktail. It shows perfect balance between sweetness, sourness, gin and the effervescenting effect of soda.
Ingredients:
50ml Bombay Sapphire
25ml Freshly squeezed lemon juice
15ml Sugar syrup (or 2 teaspoons of caster sugar)
50ml Soda water
Method: Add the Bombay Sapphire, lemon juice and sugar into a tall glass. Stir and add plenty of cubed ice. Stir again. Top with soda water then stir for a final time. Garnish with a wedge of lemon and enjoy.
