During the month of March, the Phoenix Bar & Grill in Putney, in association with Action Against Hunger, will be hosting a series of pop-up restaurants to raise money for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. The chefs that will be cooking include Philip Howard from The Square, Rowley Leigh, Rick Stein, Bruce Poole, Helena Puolakka, Atul Kochhar, Patrick Williams, and Jesse Dunford Wood. Meals will be priced at £60.00 and at least 90% of the proceeds will go to charity.

The owner of the Phoenix Bar & Grill is Rebecca Mascarenhas, who also owns Sonny’s in Barnes and co-owns Kitchen W8 with Philip Howard.
