If you're a lover of food and poker, this pop up restaurant maybe the ideal night out. The innovative restaurant has been brought to you by PokerStars and Jones & Sons and is the world's first 'pay-by-poker' restaurant located in London. It proved a huge success this week so there is now plans to roll out the experience nationwide across all the UKIPT stops this season.
Here's how it works;
Firstly, you play 3 hands of poker and then, what you pay is based on how many chips you have at the end of those three hands. That could be £10, £5 or absolutely nothing, all complements of PokerStars. How fab!
Even the menu is poker themed with gourmet dishes such as 'Royal Flush of King Crab Thermidor', 'Queen Scallops accompanied by Salt Baked Swede and Bacon Marmalade, '4 Of A Kind of Lamb Chops, Rump, Kidney and Shoulder With A Rosemary Jus' and even a '2 Pair of Pear Tarte Tatin, Pear Caramel and Ice Cream'.
The founder of Jones & Sons, Andy Jones says.."I love food and never shy away from the tables when I get the chance, so having the opportunity to create a menu that combines two of my favourite things was something I jumped at. Embracing Poker within the dishes was a lot of fun and some of the dishes that hit the cutting room floor were a bit out there, but I can't wait to see the results and serve up some Aces."
It definitely sounds like a unique and fun night out!
Does this sounds like something you'd enjoy? What do you think of the concept?
