Night Sorted at CopaCabana
Imagine this - a beach chair right on the water, Brazilian Caipirinhas, and all the chicken and chips you can eat. And to top it off - doughballs with Nutella. Yes - NUTELLA.
Lucky for me - this was a reality. Right along Southbank, Cabana has partnered up with the Southbank Centre to create CopaCabanaBeach, a summer pop up in celebration of the Rio Olympics.
Rachel (find her at Lunching Above Our Weight) and I hit up CopaCabanaBeach after work last week because - well, because rum. We walked up to a food truck with a bar linked to it, filled with beanbags and beach chairs to lounge under the summer sun (I use that loosely - remember, we ARE in London...).
A range of Brazilian cocktails with a side of sweet potato fries and malagueta chicken, which Rachel assured me was absolutely fantastic. Followed by their chocolate rain donuts and some champagne, the night could not have been better.
Mouth watering of too many rum cravings now? Worry not - this pop up will be on Southbank for the remainder of the summer. And not just that - Cabana has got locations all over London with even more goodies on their menu, so you can hit them up year-round. Rachel and I already have plans to grab a bite at their Covent Garden location this week.
Just. Too. Good.

Sunshine, Steel Drums, and So Much Rum
Its summertime in London and you know what that means! Rain, rain, and more rain.
This cold, rainy summer weather has left me wanting
to escape to a warmer, tropical location with fruity drinks and the
sound of steel drums. Luckily, I had to go no further in Central
London! Caity and I were lucky enough to be invited
to a tropical Jamaican getaway pop-up in the heart of Soho Square by
Sugar Dumplin' Rum Shack. As we walked in sound of steel drums and happy
chatter filled the air. We were greeted by a tropical bar with more
drink choices than we could choose from. They
had a Jamaican Mojito with Golden Rum Appleton Signature, a Bahama Mama
which has spiced rum, bananas and tropical fruit juice and so many
more. We both decided on a Rum Runner which consisted of dark rum and
banana and blackberry liquor. Delish!
As we passed the steel drums to the back we could
smell the delicious Jamaican BBQ that was being prepared outside. Our
options available were some of the best pick from their menu. The Jerk
Chicken was covered in Jerk Sauce and topped
sliced chilli and spring onions. For the veggies out there, Sugar
Dumplin has a delicious Butternut Squash & Chickpea Creole. This
had roasted butternut, chickpeas, spinach and coconut in a creole style
tomato sauce. Their third dish was Escovitch Fish
which consisted of a lightly friend red snapper served with an
Escovitch Sause. All dishes were served with Rice ‘N’ Peas and had the
option to be topped with some delicious slaw and sweet and spicy sauce. After licking my plate I decided that BBQ Jamaican
food was now at the top of my favourite food list.
Surgar Dumplin currently have locations in Glasgow
and Camberley and looking to expand into London Territory. Our escape
into Sugar Dumplin Rum Shack was a tropical destination in the heart of a
cold bustling London and it was jusdt what
we needed. If you have the opportunity to visit one of their locations
around the UK I highly recommend it, you wont be disappoint. Watch out
for a London based Sugar Dumplin near you!
