Campo Viejo and chef José Pizarro announced a two‑night pop‑up restaurant that will operate at 83 Rivington Street, Shoreditch, on Friday 23 October and Saturday 24 October 2026. The event will accept walk‑in customers and will feature a menu of Spanish tapas paired with Campo Viejo wines. The pricing structure is designed so that the longer a party remains at the table, the lower the total charge.
Research behind the concept
Insurers report surge in ADHD and autism declarations among over‑50s
Staysure data shows a 79% increase in neurodivergent travel insurance declarations in the first seven months of 2026, prompting a Department of Health review.
Harrow Times reported that a poll of 2,000 adults found 30 % of respondents often hurry through meals when eating out. The same research, conducted by OnePoll.com, showed that 61 % of participants believe a longer dining experience would improve bonding with loved ones. The study also revealed that 68 % think people should spend more time at the table after a meal.
“It’s so easy to get caught up in the busyness of everyday life, with booked‑in plans and time pressures, that even when we do get together, we can feel like we’re set up to rush through our meals too.”
Lucy Bearman, Vinarchy
The research was commissioned by Campo Viejo, which aims to bring the Spanish tradition of Sobremesa, lingering after the plates are cleared, to London diners. According to the poll, the average time people spend eating is 30 minutes, followed by a 16‑minute linger. Barriers to longer meals include competing commitments after eating (29 %) and differing household routines (28 %).

What visitors can expect
Guests at the pop‑up will be served a curated selection of tapas, each matched with a Campo Viejo wine. The menu is designed to encourage sharing and conversation. As diners remain seated, the bill will be adjusted downward, reflecting the event’s goal of rewarding extended table time. No reservations are required; the venue will operate on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
The pop‑up is part of a broader effort to shift dining culture in the UK. More than a third of poll respondents said they would like restaurants to stay open until midnight, and 58 % indicated cheaper prices would encourage longer outings. Campo Viejo hopes the event will demonstrate a viable model for other establishments.
Organisers have not announced any follow‑up events beyond the two nights. Interested diners are advised to check the Campo Viejo website for any updates on capacity limits or health guidelines that may affect attendance.
