Spitalfields Market played host to the London Restaurant Awards last night; a ceremony to celebrate the diversitiy of London Chefs, restaurants and cuisine served up within all 33 boroughs of the capital.Food was prepared on site by enthusiastic chefs, who offered an array of samples and tasters for all to enjoy. Exhibitors included Wahaca, Delice De France and Street Kitchen, and Pizza Express chefs were also on hand kneading and spinning dough through the crowds, who were drawn to the slabs of sizzling pizza handed out.
Drinks were also a plenty, with champagne poured freely and some classy Zacappa sampling. The latter was distributed by two smartly dressed men, who took you through the background to the drink, the right drinking occassion and handed out a smart Zacappa leaflet. This was a good event to carry out this kind of sophisticated spirit sampling. Full of food experts and high profile restauranteurs, there seemed to be an interest in this after dinner spirit.
Foodie Tom Parker Bowles hosted the evening and I even spotted Masterchef's John Terode, who took it upon himself to crack open a bottle of champage which he claimed for the evening!
