Fire & Fromage at Jimmy's Pop-up

Nestled on the Southbank, Fire & Fromage at Jimmy's Pop-up is a fun winter destination that offers all sorts of alpine fun. Cosy up here with blankets and toasty firepits, surrounded by twinkling lights and views of the river Thames - while sipping mulled wine or boozy hot chocolate.

Their street food kitchen is cooking up the likes of baked camembert, vegan festive burgers and chicken schnitzel. And for something more festive, their Fondue Bar offers a sharing feast filled with fresh bread, potatoes, salad and mini doughnuts, as well as a welcome drink, all for just £35 per person.

Robins Ramen

Throughout January, Robin's Ramen offers a quietly compelling reason to brave the post-holiday lull, serving its signature bowls for £10 alongside £1 half pints. The pop-up comes from Chris D'Sylva and chef Max Coen, the team behind Michelin-starred Dorian in Notting Hill, with Head Chef Robin Kosuge leading the kitchen.

Housed inside the bright, pink-neon Supermarket of Dreams - by day playful, by night an unexpectedly intimate dining room - the food draws on Kosuge's Japanese and Polish heritage. Bowls range from a clean, deeply savoury shio ramen with chashu pork belly and ajitama to a richer duck ramen layered with duck breast, duck wonton, confit leeks and yuzu. Alongside the ramen are considered small plates, including oysters dressed with cranberry ponzu and pork and venison gyoza scented with porcini and tarragon.
