## START THE WEEKEND RIGHT 

### Cazcabel Pop-Up at the BFI 

  

 

Tequila brand Cazcabel has opened a pop-up bar at the BFI. Guests can visit the BFI’s cocktail bar – hidden behind a sliding bookcase – to try a selection of tequilas and Mexican-inspired cocktails made by the brand’s founder Don. Each drink pays homage to Don’s native Mexico with medicinal ingredients brought back from Latin America like epazote, marigold flower and cacoa. The cocktail menu will remain under wraps until guests get into the bar, but we’re expecting good things. Throughout the pop-up, you can also expect tequila workshops and cocktail masterclasses.

## TRY NEW FLAVOURS 

### Facundo Gallardo at Carousel 

  

 

Carousel operates a rotating chef concept that sees different chefs take over the kitchen for a week or two’s residency to create new dishes and drinks. Today until Sunday 6th November, Argentinian chef Facundo Gallardo will cook dishes using a suitcase full of foraged food from the Patagonian town of El Bolsón. A great chance to try South American flavours, the menu features wild mushrooms with rosehip sriracha and Chilean myrtle; dry-aged beef with pine nuts and smoked bread miso; and peaches with cultured cream and caramel.

*19-23 Charlotte Street, Covent Garden, W1T 1RL*

## MEET YOUR MATES 

### From The Ashes BBQ Pop-Up at Gipsy Hill Taproom 

  

 

BBQ kingpin From The Ashes has opened a three-month pop-up at Gipsy Hill Taproom in Crystal Palace. Open until January, there’s a weekly changing menu of BBQ bites and smoked meats on Wednesday to Sundays, including the team’s signature ‘Del Piero’ pork doughnuts. Other dishes include smoked beef buns with mayo and chilli pickles, smoked pork ribs with burnt pineapple slaw and BBQ sauce, and barbecued cauliflower with romesco sauce. You can also order a sharing platter with a selection of all three, plus Gipsy Hill beers on draught. Next month, the taproom will screen various World Cup matches if you need any more of an excuse.

## GET YOUR CULTURE FIX 

### Korean Film Festival 

  

 

South Korea is having a cultural moment – thanks to numerous award-winning films and series (including *Parasite*, *Squid Game* and *Drive My Car*) plus an excellent exhibition dedicated to the ‘Korean Wave’ at the V&amp;A. This weekend, London’s Korean Film Festival celebrates the country’s cinematic success with the biggest programme of Korean screenings outside the country itself – from this year’s box-office hits to independent films and documentaries. Films will be screened at several cinemas around the capital including Picturehouse Central and Rio Cinema in Hackney. Look out for sci-fi blockbuster *Alienoid* and *Broker,* starring Song Kang-ho (*Parasite*). Tickets start from £7.

## CATCH A FILM 

### Living 

  

 

Already tipped to clean up at awards season, critics are praising Bill Nighy’s performance in *Living,* a story of an ordinary man who at the eleventh hour makes a supreme effort to turn his dull life into something incredible. It’s 1950s London, and the city is still recovering from World War 2. Williams (Nighy) is a veteran civil servant, an important cog within the city’s bureaucracy as it struggles to rebuild. Buried under paperwork at the office, lonely at home, his life has long felt empty and meaningless. Then a shattering medical diagnosis forces him to take stock – and to try and grasp fulfilment before it’s too late. He finds himself drawn to a vivacious young woman (Aimee Lou Wood) who once worked under his supervision and is now determined to spread her wings. With the help of a new recruit in his department, the trio set about creating a legacy for the next generation.

*In cinemas on Friday 4th November*
