Big Zuu opens pop-up restaurant serving reimagined “waste” food ahead of new series airing on UKTV’s Dave and UKTV Play

Award-winning TV channel Dave is set to open
Big Zuu’s Big Eatery this Autumn – a pop-up restaurant featuring ingredients that have been entirely recycled. It intends to highlight the huge amount of food waste ahead of Big Zuu’s forthcoming new series Big Zuu’s Big Eats on Dave and free streaming
service UKTV Play at the end of the month.

On the Friday 5th
and Saturday 6th October, Big Zuu’s Big Eats will become a restaurant
and take over well-known West End food spot, Maison Bab. Big Zuu’s Big Eatery,
the aptly named pop-up restaurant will coincide with the release of series four of
Big Zuu’s Big Eats and be open to the public for two nights only, featuring a menu curated by Zuu himself.

The eatery will offer up a ‘little eat’ followed by a three-course meal inspired by the show to encourage people to rethink their food consumption and waste habits.

The menu is ingeniously crafted to celebrate the UK’s most overlooked and underappreciated food products, transforming waste items into gourmet wonders that are packed with irresistible
flavour.

Everyday ingredients such as cucumbers, bread and cheese are incorporated to create dishes such as “Buffalo” chicken shawarma with blue cheese sauce and apple slaw and salted cod
& monkfish croquettes with tzatziki.

Big Zuu said:
“You know I’m all about serving up vibes on TV! Well now I’m gassed to bring the vibes from your screens to the streets with my pop-up joint to celebrate the fourth series of Big Zuu’s Big Eats! Bored of your leftovers or always throwing
food out? We’re here to remix tired, bland ingredients and spice ‘em up! For two nights only we’re dishing out epic bites that are big on flavour and little on waste – come through and let’s feast!”

The new series of Dave’s BAFTA-winning entertainment series
Big Zuu’s Big Eats sees Big Zuu, Tubsey and Hyder create a range of inspired dishes for highly acclaimed athletes, presenters, comedians, and musicians.

The star-studded celebrity line-up joining Big Zuu, Tubsey and Hyder in the Big Eats HQ this series includes British rapper
