ABOUT THE ART OF DINING
The Art of Dining is a collaboration between Moro-trained Chef Ellen Parr and set designer
Alice Hodge, bringing London a unique series of pop-up culinary events.
Set designer and artist Alice Hodge is an art follower, creator, teacher and collector of
tat. She has designed bespoke arrangements for weddings, parties, theatre productions
and photo shoots. Interactive elements and attention to detail are what make her tick!
Chef Ellen Parr spent her formative years working at Moro and you can taste the Middle
Eastern and Spanish influences in her food. She recently travelled around South East
Asia and India researching cooking methods, techniques and flavours. She also has an
obsession with chilli sauce. Expect the unexpected with her unusual menus.
These two creative powerhouses have come together to create unique and exciting
popup dinners, inviting guests to eat amongst a fun theatrical performance, sometimes
becoming part of it whilst dining on mouth-watering five course meals within some of
London’s greatest venues.
Successful past Art of Dining pop-ups include:
Abigail’s Party - A 70s themed, five course pop-up dining experience, combining
food, theatre, music and set design inspired by Mike Leigh’s play of the same name
Say Cheese - A unique photo-culinary experience combining a photography exhibition
with a pop-up restaurant and bar inspired by the world of Martin Parr
The Colour Palate - A pop-up dining experience where the food, drink, room, music,
table, cutlery and mood change colour with each course
Gone Camping - Throughout the month of January this pop-up dining experience
brought guests in from the cold winter nights back in time to their family summer holidays,
sitting by a campfire, singing camp songs and dining on fun, experimental, sometimes
charcoaled flavoured dishes

The Office Christmas Party
THE CONCEPT
An 80s themed pop-up experience, combining food, theatre, music and set design,
inspired by the work place but not as you see it everyday. Lydia Bellingham, female
powerhouse and boss of The Pickle Factory Ltd, will be taking the night off from
monitoring the pickle machines and be hosting your party. From a welcome speech
celebrating the history of pickle to one on one appraisals and the Christmas disco,
she will make sure your party goes off with a bang and leave you feeling really quite
pickled.
The room will be filled with interactive elements. From fun filling, to post-it note
quizzes, to phones ringing, to water coolers filled with punch… and throughout
the night a DJ from the accounts department will be bringing you all the music you
request from his desk.
So, crimp that fringe, pop on your shoulder pads, straighten that comedy Christmas
tie and head to the The Pickle Factory (10 minutes from Bethnal Green) for a night of
disco dancing, Secret Santa, pickle and an awkward moment or two with the boss,
no doubt.

The Office Christmas Party
ENTERTAINMENT AND DECOR
The Office Party will see set designer Alice Hodge take you back to the 1980s and
transform the The Pickle Factory into a classic office environment full of overhead
projectors and pinboards, filing cabinets and pot plants, a refreshing lack of computers
and the all important, and much abused, photocopier.
Your night includes:
• Venue hire within Office themed decor
• There will be desks full of activities to sit at through the night but not a formal sit
down dinner .. thats way to boring for this party!
• Actors & Theatrical Experiences throughout the evening
• DJ
• A secret store room of surprises to discover
• Bowl Food & Finger Food Menu
• 4 drinks person
• Our office boss Lydia Bellingham will lead your evening with games, appraisals and
bad behaviour.
• There will be filing that needs to be done through the night and phone calls that
need to taken so although it is party Lydia will be making you do some work!
