Things To Do

Hattie Lloyd 05/10/17


NUNdos

A bunch of nuns are about to become friars.

Because – filling what must now be the last remaining niche in the Shoreditch food scene – a pop up eatery arrives this month that is staffed entirely by nuns, who’ll be taking holy lunch orders for three days.

It’s setting up shop as a boost for Channel 5’s new show, Bad Habits, which sees a group of young ‘selfie-obsessed’ millennials join a convent for a month. But before you lose all faith at the excessive hipsterity of it all, it seems to have a decent message at its heart. They’re dishing out the soup for free, so we can only hope it’ll reach some people who really need it – plus, those unsavoury selfies will be discouraged by holding a phone amnesty on entering, encouraging visitors to engage with each other, take a meditative moment out of their day, or just have a chinwag with the Daughters of Divine Charity from Swaffham and Chesterfield.

And if you’re still not convinced, it’s only a three day stint.

So they won’t be making a habit of it.

 

NOTE: NUNdos is running on 17th (11.30-8pm), 18th and 19th (11.30-3pm) of October. It’s walk in only, and free to dine there.
