This is first and foremost. Events come and go, days pass, but he is our local neighbour and waves hello every day as he passes by. Our customer for over 15 years, from the traditional days to the contemporary. A long term ally. A friend.

Pav likes to cook, and, well, whisper it, he cooks really well. A Londoner of Polish heritage, he dives into his ancestral leanings and unearths wholesome, hearty, punchy Eastern European plates. He has pop ups, residencies, all aided by his formal chef training, whilst committing to a full-time role as a social worker, and does the odd shift at Mangal II when we’re a person-down and require our pal’s help.

We’ve been mooting the idea of an event for a while, Polska dishes with Türkiye flair, assisted by the universally binding force of charcoal and fire. 

Chef @earlboy and @polskakitchen have finally cracked it. Here’s the event poster. Here’s the menu. An eclectic, meat-focused parlay into all things fulfilling and giving. Pickles abound. Cabbages. Tripe. All things these two workhorse nations devour in common.

March 23rd, Sunday. 3 sittings at 1pm, 3pm, and 5pm. £55 a head. Bookings via the link below.

A day of celebration. Of friendship. Neighbourly love. Common ground in flavours. A London nucleus. A friendship.

Creative Director, Met Ciftci – A Tokyo resident for over a decade, Met has spent more than six years as a Creative Director in the IT industry. In 2024, he founded Kkultur, a design studio specializing in vintage aesthetics. His expertise shapes Lokanta’s strong visual identity, blending nostalgia with modernity.
