Pyromaniacs and fans of flame-grilled deliciousness alike will be thrilled to hear of this weekend’s one-off Acme Fire Cult event, taking place outside Homerton’s none-more-metal coffee roastery, Dark Arts.
From midday this Saturday July 17, chef pals Andrew Clarke and Daniel Watkins will be in charge of the raging flames, bringing a new twist to barbecue with their unique brand of live fire-cooking, honed at their recent London Fields Courtyard residency.
With a main meal, side and drink for the fixed price of £15, Acme Fire Cult’s feasts focus on plant-based cooking. Here, vegetables are the stars but rare-breed meat – from regenerative farms only – and dayboat fish will make cameo appearances. There’ll be vegan and non-vegan options on offer for all, plus a lil’ bit of fancy fermentation in the mix. The day wraps up when everything is sold out, so aim to get there early.

As is Dark Arts’ way, there’ll be limited-edition merch and specially curated coffee available. Custom alcoholic drinks will also be on offer to quench the flames of your thirst as well as cooling you off a touch: a mini heatwave looks set to descend on the capital this weekend, with temps reaching a glorious 27 degrees on Saturday.
If you like what you see and eat, then keep alert, as Clarke and Watkins are about to launch a range of plant-based sauces and condiments, and they’re hunting for a permanent restaurant site.
Hot stuff? On all counts.
1-5 Rosina St, E9 6JH
