Guests will be able to experience the full range of Noma Projects' innovative flavours in this unique collaborative menu with KOL.
Noma Projects will take over KOL’s dining room for this dynamic standing event, with guests welcome to discover each new creation from the open kitchen. Now available to purchase online, the products will be incorporated into each dish to allow the diner to experience their umami-rich adaptability and how they can be used to elevate cooking at home.
What products are included? Smoked Mushroom Garum, Dashi RDX, Vegan XO Sauce, Roasted Kelp Salt, and two new products, Wild Rose Vinegar and Forager’s Vinaigrette (launching in mid-August). Noma Projects will also bring a new, secret unreleased product for London guests to try - Corn Yuzu Hot Sauce.

Dishes scheduled will include Tostada - Noma Projects Vegan XO Sauce, octopus, tender cabbage, fermented gooseberries, Ceviche - Noma Projects Forager’s Vinaigrette, seafood, seaweeds, succulents (both of which will have vegetarian alternatives) and will end with Nieve - Noma Projects Roasted Kelp Salt, Blanco Jaguar Chocolate sorbet.
Thomas and Santiago first worked together back in 2016. Santiago had partnered with the Noma team that year for their seven-week residency in Tulum in Mexico, and Thomas then was Head of R&D at Noma. The pair worked closely on cataloguing ingredients, helping create recipes and menus, and quickly became friends through their shared devotion to research. Thomas went on to open INUA in Tokyo in 2018, he re-joined Noma in 2021 and later Noma Projects. Santiago opened KOL in London in 2020, which was awarded 23rd in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards in 2023.
Noma Projects launched in 2022 with Thomas now as Creative Director and Annika de Las Heras as COO (formerly General Manager at Noma), channelling the restaurant’s collective knowledge, craft and spirit and bringing innovation from Noma’s test kitchen and fermentation lab to inspire everyday cooking.
Tickets include five small dishes and two drinks from the chef's collaborative menu and two Noma Project products to take away in their signature tote bag.

Red Homes Catering Team Provide The Icing On The Cake For Resident Celebrations
But! Newark's Red Roofs Residential Care Home on Grange Road are going against this trend to ensure everyone feels special and celebrated on their own birthday.
The team at Red Roofs believe celebrating milestones like birthdays is a vital part of memory care and retiring with dignity. A birthday is a celebration of life and when a person’s birthday is recognised, they are encouraged to reflect on their past as they recognise their place in the present.
Although many older adults can feel a sense of melancholy when reminded of their age, birthday celebrations at Red Roofs are approached in a way which celebrates their cherished memories and accomplishments, and not just their age.
Also, a birthday allows residents to better recognise and appreciate the circle of love and support that surrounds them as friends and family may gather to celebrate, send them a card or give them a phone call.
Every resident, no matter their circumstances, will celebrate their day with other residents and staff within the care home, this all helps reaffirm feelings of safety, love, and support.
These parties are one of many ways the Red Roofs team have been able to establish a warm, tight-knit community within the home, and more vitally, they make certain each individual is valued and celebrated on their own special day.
Trish Smith, Red Roofs’ manager said: “The beautiful cakes are made by our talented catering team and we celebrate birthdays in a big way for every single resident. We raise a glass of something special and fizzy while meeting their personalised dietary needs.
"Residents can select their special birthday tea and the colour of their cake, too. Family and friends are welcome to join us and every resident loves to sing songs and celebrate with each other. It’s an integral part of our care and what we aim to achieve here at Red Roofs and I’m so grateful to our incredible teams who make this happen.”
As everyone knows, there's nothing quite like a cup of tea and a slice of cake on your birthday.

Timothy Taylor's Brewery Partners With Thornbridge Brewery for First Ever Collaboration Beer in Their 165-Year History
The two breweries have long admired each other's approach to cask and craft beers respectively, with Landlord and Jaipur both being widely regarded as the pioneers within their respective categories, and both having won more awards than any other beers.
The brewers' mutual knowledge and passion led them to brew a style of beer that could be showcased in the more traditional cask format for pubs, but also enjoyed in keg format for bars and restaurants and from cans for at home consumption.
The Artesian collaboration with Thornbridge comes just five months after Timothy Taylor's Hopical Storm became its first beer to be launched in cans.
Said Rob Lovatt, Head Brewer at Thornbridge: “We're incredibly proud to be the first brewery to work alongside Timothy Taylor's for a collaboration.
“Almost everyone at Thornbridge regularly drinks Landlord, so to create a modern pale ale with them is a really exciting idea for the whole team!”
Andy Leman, Timothy Taylor's Head Brewer, went on to say: “It's been a real, genuine pleasure to work alongside Rob Lovatt and the entire brewing team at Thornbridge to produce Artesian Elderflower and Gooseberry Pale Ale. They have a great reputation for their partnerships, and share our uncompromising passion for quality and consistency, so were a natural choice for brewing our first collaboration ale
“Artesian is a fresh pale ale that just screams summer and was brewed using Crystal, Chinook and Amarillo hops, Pale Ale malt and wheat. It's packed with aroma and flavour from the addition of elderflowers and gooseberries, and we're eager to hear how our customers enjoy it over the next few several weeks.”
At 4.2%, Artesian is a light, quaffable pale ale, which is brewed for easy enjoyment with bountiful elderflowers and zingy gooseberries added to create a really vibrant mix of summery flavours. For beer lovers who are keen on the concept of food pairing, it's a good match for goat cheese and fig crostini.
Artesian will be launching at the Thornbridge's Peakender Festival in the heart of the Peak District over the weekend of 18-20 August, and it will be available to trade and consumers from 21 August for a limited time only, so do watch out for it!

Kellogg UK Commits to Supporting Veterans and their Families with Armed Forces Covenant Pledge
The Covenant is a voluntary pledge which acknowledges by the organisation that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect.
Kellogg’s has a K-Vets and Supporters network at its HQ in MediaCity which is committed to incorporating top tier veteran talent into all levels of the organisation.
The cereal and snacks company actively supports the employment of veterans, recognising military skills and qualifications in its recruitment and selection process.
Chris Silcock, who is Kellogg UK MD said: “At Kellogg’s we believe everyone should have a place at the table. By signing the Armed Forces Covenant we hope to become a career destination for military veterans. We'll continue to actively support the employment of veterans, recognising military skills and qualifications in our recruitment and selection process.”
The company has a strong KVets programme in the USA which supports the 490 ex-military personnel working in Kellogg North America via its Battle Buddies and Military Mentorship Programme.
Chris Silcock was joined by Commander Judith Barnes Royal Navy Reserve, Air Employer Engagement Regional Officer and Colonel Darren Doherty yesterday at Kellogg’s MediaCity HQ to officially sign the Covenant.
Colonel Darren Doherty, Commander Army North West Region commented: “I'm delighted to witness a huge global company like Kelloggs, and one with roots that are firmly in the North West, publicly pledging their continued support to the Armed Forces community: serving regular, reserves, veterans and their families, by signing the Armed Forces Covenant. I look forward to supporting Kellogg’s in their next steps towards achieving award status as part of the Armed Forces Employer Recognition Scheme.”
Kellogg’s donated 19,000 servings of food over the past year to charities across the UK who state their primary audience as being military personnel, veterans or their families. This includes residential settings, training centres, drop in and day centres.
Andrew Western MP said: “I’m delighted Kellogg’s has signed the Armed Forces Covenant Pledge. Our Armed Forces community obviously deserves to be treated with fairness, respect, and compassion; not just when serving, but as they transition back into civilian life.
Kellogg’s employs hundreds of people across its head office in Media City and its factory in Trafford Park, so I have no doubt that the service people and veterans living within my constituency of Stretford and Urmston will benefit from this.”
Kellogg’s also recently removed the requirement for job applicants to the company to have a degree as part of its drive to become a more inclusive employer.
