nigerian food

Thinking of starting your own business? Well if you can cook African, Caribbean or Southern and Soul food here are three reasons why you should start a supper club.

How did it all start?
It started the night after I waited two hours for jerk chicken that was meant to be ready in “another fifteen minutes” at a garden party at the end of last year summer and in so doing missed the act I went there to see, Femi Kuti!
On getting home I went online and took steps that led to the implementation of an idea that I had been thinking about for over a year. This was the genesis of Tee’s Food Corner with the vision of “bringing Nigerian food to a global audience”.

Three reasons why you should take up a traders stall at Spitalfields in May 2016

1. The glass ceiling, diversity and inclusion at your work in positions of power in management. Frustrated? See Hollywood boycott, ‪#‎blacklivesmatter‬, the gender, ethnic pay gap and gender pricing
2. No pension in your future, so start your life time business now. Build the future today. Never retire. Support your family with flexibility
3. Real opportunities exist for first, second and third generation African and Caribbean entrepreneurs

‎African food events, feasts, festivals, carnivals and celebrations; popup‬s ‪supper‬ clubs and ‪lunch clubs; Nigerian, Ghanaian, Senegalese, Sierra Leone/Liberian and Eritrean. I have attended many events in the year 2015. I attended five African pop-ups in November month so I am getting an idea of what is what. The question is what did I learn during my ‪event visits? Well here is my feedback.

So you are an adventurous eater, a foodie now wondering whether you will like other African foods away from the family heritage of say your parents of Nigeria or you have never tried African cooking but you have sampled Indian. Well from Ghanaian street food to Ethiopian restaurants, African food is in London and it’s about to make its mark even bigger and better in November with a number of supper club events. Now this is the best time to try a new cuisine.

Pop Up Africa is an African Inspired Pop-Up events company. The aim of making the African retail and culinary industries more available to a broader audience resulted in the pop up events such as, 'Africa at Spitalfield's,' which after its launch in 2013 has seen stall holders take their brand from the market stall to the shelves of Tesco. Also the newly launched 'African Food and Drink Takeover' as part of Africa Utopia at the Southbank Centre.

These guys ran out of food at Africa on the square during Black History Month - Saturday 10th October 2015 so they are seriously popular. They claim to be a mother and son duo, where mum cooks and son does everything else Here West Africa cooks talks to the founders of Jollof Box.

Along the way there will be many people who wish to start up an African or Caribbean supperclub with a long term vision of creating a restaurant business. Here is a Question and Answer from an inspiring entrepreneur let's called her Terry with such an vision, although the vision has yet to be realised. Turning ideas into businesses is hard work requiring detailed planning and, because we’re not turning good plans into action, there’s no one to pave the way for the next generation behind us.

Here is our reviews of a west African, Nigerian dinner in south east London. Esquire Lounge and Bar is owned by the 805 Nigerian Restaurant, and has the same menu as 805 Restaurant. At 9:30pm they have a live DJ playing Afro-Beats and R&B, making the place a bit more lively.

805 Nigerian Restaurant has decent ratings (useful to view the food that you will be eating it's the Nigerian food from 805 Restaurant):

The first Naija Chop Day is on the Monday 16th June 8.00pm GMT!

This is the day you sit down to watch Nigeria vs Iran and EAT some serious Naija food. Nigeria is host to almost 170 million people. Do you know how many different tribes and food that incorporates? That's way too much to think about so why not celebrate Nigeria as one unit in the shadow of recent unfortunate events.
