Disney+ is bringing The Bear to London this weekend with a pop-up kitchen in Shoreditch that will give away 2,000 Italian-style subs over two days. The activation, held on Sunday June 28 and Monday June 29 at the Truman Brewery on Dray Walk, recreates the beloved sub-serving hatch-in-the-wall diner from the first season of the hit series.
What to expect at the pop-up
The pop-up will be hidden behind a standard billboard, with a live kitchen operating behind it. Visitors can watch the high-pressure kitchen in action and grab a free Chicago-style sandwich. The menu includes a slow-roasted beef sandwich and a roasted portobello mushroom sandwich as a vegan option.
Timings and availability
Each day offers three service windows. On Sunday June 28, the hatch opens at 12:30-1pm, 2-3pm, and 4-5pm. On Monday June 29, services run at 1:15-3pm, 4-5pm, and 6-7pm, with a surprise chef during the first service. A thousand subs will be given away each day, so early arrival is recommended to avoid disappointment.
About The Bear's final season
The fifth and final season of The Bear premieres on Disney+ on Thursday June 25. The season follows Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Sugar (Abby Elliott) as they pick up the pieces after Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) quits the business. According to Time Out, "a last dance is on the cards" for the acclaimed series.
