MUST DO: KERB does South Bank’s Alchemy festival

Throughout the long weekend, to celebrate, 29 traders will be cooking up a storm of Indian, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Sri Lankan and Pakistani dishes, including Horn Ok Please and their giant samosas, spiced mutton fries from Kolkati and Baba G’s burgers with a twist (go for the zingy lamb jalfrezi with mango chutney, our top pick.)

Drink-wise, there’ll be Punjabi Pimms, Kingfisher lager or a craft beer (Thornbridge, Fourpure and a special edition tamarind and lime leaf sour from Brick Brewery to name a few). If you’re after something booze-free, refugee social enterprise Nemi will be serving masala chai and ginger iced tea.

Fill your boots then dance it off to DJ Shaiguy: he’ll be spinning bhangra tunes in the evening.
