Pop-Up Restaurant Coming to the British Consulate in Cambridge's Kendall Square

The people behind a series of pop-up restaurants in and around Boston are heading to "foreign soil" for their next pop-up, though in reality it won't be very far from the city.

An email sent to us by wheretoeat.in indicates that chef Will Gilson of Garden at the Cellar in Cambridge and event organizer/Twitter figure Aaron Cohen of Eat Boston are setting up a pop-up restaurant at the British Consulate-General on Broadway in the Kendall Square section of Cambridge. The event, which takes place on Friday, May 20, and Saturday, May 21, will feature a five-course prix fixe dinner with British-influenced dishes served. Some of the items featured will include seared foie gras and crumpets, chicken korma soup with curry leaves, earl grey tea smoked duck bangers, bubble and squeak, fish and chips, and sticky toffee pudding. Greylock Gin cocktails from Berkshire Mountain Distillers and beer from Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project will also be offered, and flowers will be supplied by Bittersweet Gardens.

Tickets to the British Consulate pop-up restaurant in Cambridge will cost $70, with some of the proceeds going to the British Society, which helps British nationals overseas. Tickets go on sale today (Friday, May 6) at 1:00 PM. For more information, please go to the following link: Eat at British Consulate-General

This is one in a series of pop-up restaurants that have taken place over the past several months, including pop-ups at the Mizu Salon in the Back Bay, the Boston Center for Adult Education in downtown Boston, Taza Chocolate and Bloc 11 in Somerville, and Mohr & McPherson in the South End.

[May 13 update: The pop-up restaurant at the British Consulate-General is sold out.]
