END the year as you started it is a TOM maxim. That’s why we are tempted to take on board one more tasting menu to see 2015 out. OK, December 31 dining usually consists of ballast for the booze, but we’d urge you to pay attention to the delights of Bangers & Bacon New Year's Eve Chefs Table Feast 2015, which offers 16 “delicious dining experiences”.
The menu from the Kitchens Spinningfields pork-centric eaterie has yet to be finalised, but in the evidence of previous pop-up Chefs Tables it should prove a cracker. What we know is coming our way is a selection of canapes, followed by 13 creative courses (not all involving pork!) with tea or coffee served with ginger tart macaroons. Oh, and in case you are still hungry by the time the fireworks go off there will be bacon butties midnight munchies. And,of course, there’ll be a well-stocked bar open all night.
Bangers & Bacon, The KItchens, Spinningfields. 7.30pm, December 31. Tickets cost £40 ahead (plus £1.99 booking fee) and can be booked via this link.
