Pop-up supper clubs, Malay street food and Turkish Tom Dixon-style are on the UJ menu this weekend. Of course, it is Guy Fawkes so just make sure you tuck in before heading out. Or if you’d rather take cover, do so from the heady heights of the Paramount members’ club where you can let loose and rock your moustache (it is Movember after all, guys) with the Superfreqs or let Patrick Wolf and CocknBullKid get you all fired up with their bound-to-dazzle live shows. Failing that indulge in a little cashmere heaven at the Pringle sample sale or nurture your inner cinemaste with a trip to see the heady Weekend at the Ritzy.

PODCAST
Work it mix! By Audio Sushi
Yes, we know, it’s less than two months to Christmas and if the Oxford Street lights switch-on wasn’t enough to remind us, then the never-ending flyering of gym discounts and Bikram yoga sessions certainly do. It seems like everybody’s upping the fitness ante, whether they’re training for marathons or enrolling at a new pilates class, so if you feel like you’re lagging we hope this UJ pumped-up mix will give you a little energetic inspiration in the lead up to the New Year. If it doesn’t, then Richard Simmons' getup might.

CELEBRATE
Kash Point’s Pr’Osthétic C’Osmétic
Calling all past and present club kids: this Sunday sees experimental club Kash Point celebrate its 9th birthday in a frenzy of plumped-up lips, boob jobs gone wrong – the theme is cosmetic surgery – and musical ‘implants’ from the likes of Bishi and Winnie the Poof. This is perhaps more a room full of art installations than a disco – costumes go above and beyond so make sure yours is good enough or you’ll be refused entry. Ehhveryone’s going to be there – king miscreant Matthew Glamorre said it so himself.

FOOD:
Malay Street Food
Combine London’s on-going love affair with pop-up restaurants and street food carts and what do you get? If you’re at the Sanderson, a street-food pop-up menu brought to you by the ironically stylish hotel’s modern Malaysian restaurant Suka. The lunch and dinner menus (at pretty reasonable prices for such a classy establishment) will whisk you through the culinary delights of street food capitals Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Tawau with typical dishes (served sharing style, of course) including Laska Johor (crab claw noodles, coconut milk, bean sprouts, long beans) and Ikan Bakar (sea bass fillet baked in banana leaf and garnished with papaya salad.)

UJ MEETS HESTON
American Express International Access Program
UJ talks to Heston about his new book, trends, restaurants and what’s to come…
Muscling into The Fat Duck is famed for being a pain. And some of our team still hasn’t actually managed to make it down to Dinner, yet, so…
When we were invited to attend a private dinner, in Banqueting House, Undercroft courtesy of American Express, it was forks at the ready. This was a royal treat. The background of Banqueting House set the scene for a memorable, historic feast. Menu highlights included the classic Heston meat fruit, as well as afternoon fish tea and the dark chocolate (sweet, sour, salt, bitter) BFG dessert, complete with black forest atomizing spray. But the real highlight was meeting the inspirational man himself.
