Cheeses! The prospect of five courses of burrata — for just five quid per person — is on the table at a two-day pop-up in east London next month.
On Friday 4 and Saturday 5 July, Italian cheese brand Galbani is opening a Burrata Bar in Shoreditch, serving up five courses of the squidgy mozzarella/cream cheese for just £5. The menu — apparently inspired by TikTok food trends — is as follows:
🧀 Baked Nduja Burrata: Warm burrata topped with spicy 'nduja and finished with crispy garlic pangrattato.
🧀 Tricolore Sandwich: Creamy burrata layered with sweet roasted caponata and basil pesto in a fluffy sandwich.
🧀 Strawberry and Cream Salad with a Pimm's Reduction: A tart and tangy mix of burrata, gin pickled cucumber, Sichuan pickled strawberry, watermelon, chilli, Thai basil, finished with a fruity Pimm’s dressing.
🧀 Deep Fried Burrata with Soy & Balsamic Glazed Fruits and Hot Honey: Crispy on the outside, and gooey cheese on the inside, served with salty-sweet soy and balsamic glazed fruits.
🧀 Burrata S'mores Blondie: A creamy burrata twist on a classic sweet treat. Loaded with biscuits and marshmallow, and finished with whipped burrata and pistachio.
Though the Burrata Bar's obviously a publicity stunt, it does sound like excellent value, and all ticket proceeds go to the Anthony Nolan charity.
Burrata Bar, 133 Bethnal Green Road, E2 7DG, Shoreditch, 4-5 July 2025, 12.30pm-8.30pm, £5, book your slot
