Katie Grand, the stylist’s stylist and editor of the eagerly anticipated new magazine called Love, is all about her friends. So when she decided to hold a tea and treasure hunt, she turned to David Waddington, a co-owner of London’s pop-up restaurant FLASH, for the site.

FLASH is a temporary restaurant opening on 01/11/08 and closing 80 days later on 19/01/09. Our location is the West Room in The Royal Academy of Arts Burlington Gardens as part of GSK Contemporary, an exciting new arts season.

FLASH is brought to you by Pablo Flack, David Waddington and Tom Collins of Bistrotheque, with this being our second temporary restaurant following on from the hugely successful Reindeer back in 2006.

But FLASH isn't The Reindeer; there won't be a tree covered in fake snow anywhere in sight. For us, each pop-up restaurant we do should be totally unique and as FLASH is part of GSK Contemporary we are designing a modern, exciting restaurant space that will be an installation in its own right.

To help us in our task we have assembled a team of collaborators and contributors, which includes some of London's most creative minds, to design elements of, or to loan work to, our temporary Mayfair home.

The kitchen, under executive chef Tom Collins, will create concise lunch and dinner menus, inspired by French and Californian cuisine, using the best the markets have to offer. The afternoon interlude will be filled by our Wedgwood inspired Josiah Cream Tea.

A restaurant like no other; FLASH will be a room within a room, an installation within an exhibition but most of all a cool & buzzy dining room in the heart of London.
