hands off! restaurant

The world’s largest diners’ club, tastecard, is to launch its first pop-up restaurant in London. The ‘Hands Off!’ restaurant will allow your evening to be taken care of entirely with servers feeding you and, if you’re thirsty, helping you out with a paper straw to your lips.

Inspired by the Bangkok tradition where it is popular for guests to be honoured, treated with the upmost respect and notably, served by the hosts. ‘Hands Off!’ brings the concept to the UK, for the first time, promising guests a completely decadent and indulgent experience.

Tickets are available through a designated Eventbrite page for just £20, with 100% of the proceeds going to Mary’s Meals charity.

Opening its doors in June (and yes, they will be opened for you), the restaurant features a set tasting menu brought by partner restaurant Feng Sushi, including Nippon ‘mock’ duck (a Chinese pancake, with cucumber, spring onion and caramelised tofu and hoisin sauce), salmon, tuna and Japanese omelette nigiri and vegetarian rolls. For dessert, guests will be fed Mochi, a Japanese rice cake in chocolate and strawberry cheesecake flavours.

The ‘Hands Off!’ restaurant will run for one week only this summer to celebrate tastecard’s app re-launch available for download on iOS and Android. Since its inception as tastelondon in 2006, tastecard offers members 50% off food and 2 for 1 meals at 6,000+ restaurants including Feng Sushi, PizzaExpress, Byron, Zizzi, Absurd Bird and more.

Matt Turner, founder of tastecard, said: “tastecard, the mighty black and green card, always knows where to take its members. Whether they want to save on food, cinema or days out; we’ve got plenty of discounts on offer. With this restaurant, tastecard is allowing customers to enjoy a unique dining experience.”

The ‘Hands Off!’ restaurant opens for a trial run on 10th June until 14th June in London. To book the experience please visit Eventbrite.co.uk
