Louisiana comes to London
You like art? Slap Ya Papa do too. So throughout their residency they will be hosting an art exhibition titled "Southern Wilds" curated by their partners in crime Marbles & Ware, who takeover the building on Saturdays with their pop-up market place The Bizarre Bazaar.
As night falls, the market is cleared away and your banquet commences, with live music simmering under the hubbub of a delectable five-course feast, a dizzy bidding frenzy will ensue as Marbles & Ware roll out their theatrical live art auction, with eccentric auctioneers and exhibitioners touting the latest works from the Next-Big-Things featured in the Southern Wilds exhibition. The night will be a buzz with impromptu musical and theatrical performance, bands and disc jockeys revealed on the night will take the after-dinner party through 'til 2am. Oh yeah don't you forget the food.
Menu:
- chargrilled oyster slathered in parsley and garlic butter and topped with a parmesan crust

And finally, ribs; sticky, sexy, bbq ribs, served with dirty rice, a fresh and zingy slaw, and the best darn cornbread this side of the Atlantic
