Kelis and pop-up sensation Le Bun announce a collaboration of the culinary variety. This summer they will be teaming up to create a bespoke menu for a pop-up restaurant that will open it’s doors in London for a limited time in early July before hitting the road to number of UK festivals throughout the month, including Standon Calling.
Kelis and Le Bun co-founders Andy Taylor and Tim Talbot first came into contact thanks to Kelis’ upcoming Sunday night headline slot at this year’s Standon Calling, where Le Bun were confirmed to provide food.

The idea to work together was born from a shared passion for street food, a mutual appreciation of eclectic cooking and a love of music, the KELISxLEBUN pop-up will focus on South American inspired arepas and the buns that Le Bun team are already famous for.

Two taster menus on offer. Dishes didn't necessarily compliment each other, a little miss matched and some simply weren't nice. Fusion dishes especially. Food was cold by the time it reached the table. A Dishes that stood out- the truffle cheese burger. Cold again but we all agreed we could have eaten a whole one of those so was almost disappointing to just be given a mouthful. All in all a bit of a let down- especially for the price of £40 + service per person. Won't stop me being a loyal Le Bun customer however and hope they've come away with some new ideas.

Am a massive fan of Le Bun and Kelis so this was the perfect collaboration for me! Food on both menus was absolutely incredible as were the cocktails! Staff were really friendly and the playlist was banging! Only negative I have was on the choice of venue... the decor and furniture didn't really fit with the vibe that both Le Bun and Kelis have - they are way too cool! :-) Everything else more than made up for it though - I had an amazing evening! :-)

Food was absolutely delicious and definitely not like any pop-up with a celebrity's name slapped on the front. Every dish was exceptional, with considerable thought and effort put into each. The dessert was a little underwhelming and it was a shame that, because the restaurant was busy, the waiting than forgot about it. However, all in all, it was a great experience and well worth every penny.

There were two set menus to choose from and we all opted for the street food menu and every dish was well executed. A complimentary dish from the chef was also thrown in. I was disappointed with the dessert, it was nice but really simple, figs in coconut milk. We were expecting something a bit more to follow such a good food menu. The kitchen was open so you could see Kelis in there working and she was kind enough to let us take a picture with her afterwards. It was a great experience and glad we were able to get a table.

Second time eating at le bun, now with a new menu by kelis. The food was of a very high standard. I thoroughly enjoyed the arepas. The kitchen team was very attentive, adjusting the menu items for my veggie girlfriend. And what a cherry ontop of a very big b-day cake it was to have Kelis herself toiling away in the kitchen and taking time to talk to the customers! Amazing!

After looking forward to this we turned up at a restaurant which was not very chic, the music was very loud and to top it all they wanted £40 a burger! So disappointed. We cannot afford that. We made our excuses and left.

The food was good. I really liked the arepas, the not milkshake cocktail, & the ceviche. I didn't care for the pho. It was expensive for the amount of food. The cornbread was amazing, but would have liked a veggie chili. I can't wait to try some of the other items, if/when a full service restaurant opens.
