Risky business for critics, residencies: 10 minutes after the review comes out, an email flies in announcing they\u2019re upping sticks with new backers and big ideas. But Barang has done the rounds for a while, first popping up in the summer of 2023 as weekly supper clubs in chef Tom Geoffrey\u2019s home; after that, variously, nights at Carousel, Oranj, Mambow, six weeks at South London Louie. Geoffrey has been at the stove in New York, Bangkok, Phnom Penh, somewhere in Sweden. A hot tub, probably. All quite a lot for the former head of events at King\u2019s Business School, who before that was an actor (\u201cI\u2019ll treasure that three-star review from Total Film forever\u201d). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Off to Barang, then, not previously on the list on the grounds of it being a residency.
