The world’s most travelled pop-up restaurant set to return to Glasgow
Glasgow foodies won’t want to miss the ‘homecoming’ of One Star House Party, writes Rosalind Erskine
Pop-up dining event One Star House Party has travelled to 20 countries in 20 months to establish 20 very different restaurants out of what has been discovered along the way. And now, it’s coming home.
Led by Scottish couple Trisha and Kevin Mccrae, the One Star team has trained in some of the world’s best restaurants, including Denmark’s NOMA and London’s Tom Aiken’s. In each country, after immersing themselves in the community for a month, they create a new menu inspired by the ingredients they find and the “experiences that find them”.
From the streets of Mumbai to night trains through Vietnam, and even Base Camp of Mount Everest, their travels have taken them to the farthest flung corners of the globe, and this month, for one week only, the team is bringing their restaurant back to Scotland.
Co-founder Trisha said: “Over a year ago we set out on a journey that has so far taken us halfway around the world. It is a culinary adventure that has brought us face to face with ingredients and techniques from across the world. Living completely from our restaurant, we build it wherever we find ourselves, serving a new menu each month out of everything we discover.
“Now we are finally coming home, and are excited to share with Glasgow what we have experienced so far on our journey.”
Trisha and Kevin, who met in Glasgow while they were both working in the on trade, are excited to be “bringing their restaurant home”. She said: “We have spent the last year and a half travelling the world, and have always wanted to do a sort of ‘homecoming’ restaurant, where we can bring back all that we have experienced and share it with Glasgow.
“I’m from the southside of Glasgow and picked Shawlands specifically because I love the area and wanted to support it.”
The pair wouldn’t give much away about their menu, saying only that it’s a seven-course meal with each course made up from a different country that they have had a restaurant in. To find out more information or to book One Star House Party visit onestarhouseparty.com/ reservations/
