🥟 Dish Spotlight: Bao Buns!

Our lovely Stephen is modelling our sticky soy mushroom bao bun - but if that’s not your thing, we also have Chinese pork belly to choose from!

Perfectly fluffy, full of flavour and a delicious addition to our tapas board. 🤤

🎃 QUIZ SEASON IS ABOUT TO GET SPOOKY… THEN VERY MERRY! 🎄🧠

Grab your smartest mates (or just the ones who are confidently wrong 😂) because we’ve got some cracking quizzes coming up at Caldero!

👻 HALLOWEEN QUIZ
📅 Wednesday 28th October
⏰ 7pm
💷 £1pp – cash only
Expect spooky trivia, terrifyingly questionable team names and at least one person discovering they know far too much about horror films. 🔪🎃

Then… NO QUIZ IN NOVEMBER! 😱
Before you start sharpening the pitchforks, there’s method in our madness because we’re making up for it with TWO festive-ish quizzes in December! 🎁

🎄 CHRISTMAS QUIZ – Wednesday 2nd December
Time to find out who’s a Christmas cracker… and who’s just a bit of a turkey. 🦃😂

🥂 ROUND UP OF THE YEAR QUIZ – NEW YEAR’S EVE!
How much of 2026 do you actually remember?! 👀 From the big moments to the absolute “wait… THAT happened this year?!” chaos, we’ll be putting your 2026 knowledge to the test before we wave goodbye to it! 🎆

So assemble the quiz squad, think of an appropriately ridiculous team name and get those brain cells limbered up.

Halloween. Christmas. New Year’s Eve.
Three quizzes. Three chances for bragging rights. Approximately 738 opportunities to argue with your teammate who SWEARS they know the answer. 😂

☕🍰 COFFEE + CAKE + A BLOOMIN’ GOOD CAUSE? SAY LESS. 💚

On Friday 25th September from 9am, we’re hosting our Macmillan Coffee Morning at Caldero! 💚

And our staff are swapping trays for baking trays and putting their finest creations to the ultimate test… you lot. 👀😂

For a small donation to Macmillan Cancer Support, you’ll be able to sample some of our team’s homemade bakes. There could be showstoppers. There could be soggy bottoms. There could be something that was panic-bought from Tesco at 8:47am and transferred onto a plate. We ask no questions. 😂🍰

⏰ Starts at 9am
🍰 Finishes when the cake is GONE!

So grab a coffee, choose something delicious and help us raise as much as we can for an absolutely wonderful cause. 💚

And remember: cake eaten for charity contains no calories.
We’re fairly sure that’s science.*

*It absolutely is not. 😂

🎄🚨 THE CHRISTMAS OUTFIT HAS EMERGED. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. 🚨🎄

You know Christmas is officially on its way at Caldero when James is ceremoniously forced back into the outfit. 😂

Does he choose to wear it every year?
We’re legally advised not to comment. 👀
Has it now become a beloved Caldero Christmas tradition? ABSOLUTELY. 🎅😂

And James’ annual festive sacrifice can only mean one thing…

✨ WE’RE TAKING CHRISTMAS BOOKINGS NOW! ✨

Our Christmas menu will be available from 1st November, and there are some absolute festive BELTERS coming your way, including…

🎅 Marry Me Santa – because apparently Marry Me Chicken got festive and started making serious commitments.
🧀 Mini Camemberts – tiny wheels of molten happiness. No further explanation required.
🍴 Plus LOADS more festive deliciousness to get stuck into!

Whether it’s the work Christmas do, festive drinks with your mates, family get-togethers or simply an excuse to eat an irresponsible amount of cheese, get your Christmas booking in! 🎄🥂

Meanwhile, please keep James in your thoughts during this difficult time.

The outfit will return.
It always returns. 🌟😂

🚨 NEW MENU INCOMING… AND SHE’S LOOKING GOOD. 🚨

Clear your diary, loosen your waistband and prepare to develop several new food obsessions because our BRAND NEW MENU lands 1st October! 🍂🍴✨

Some of your favourites have had a cheeky little glow-up, but we’ve also got a whole load of brand-new dishes joining the Caldero family… 👀

Think Marry Me Chicken 💍🍗 — and yes, the name is a BIG promise.
🥑 Skandi Smoked Salmon — fresh, colourful and ridiculously brunchable.
🥔 Loaded Hash Browns — crispy, cheesy, loaded little parcels of joy.
…and that is only scratching the surface.

And our drinks are getting in on the action too because UBE IS COMING! 💜☕️ We’re bringing that gorgeous purple goodness into our tea line-up, and quite frankly, she’s about to become the main character.

📅 1ST OCTOBER
📍 Caldero Lounge

New dishes. New flavours. Old favourites with a fresh little makeover. Basically… October just got VERY tasty. 🤤

Who are you bringing along for the first taste test? 👇

🎤😂 READY FOR A LAUGH?! 😂🎤

Consider this your reminder that LIVE COMEDY is coming to Caldero Lounge! And frankly, we could all do with a good giggle. 🤣

📅 Wednesday 30th September
⏰ Showtime: 7pm
🎟️ FREE TO ATTEND!

Laffinstock Comedy Club are bringing us a cracking line-up of comedians for an evening that promises plenty of laughs, questionable jokes and the occasional “I can’t believe they just said that” moment. 👀😂

And the best punchline? It won’t cost you a penny to come along! So grab your mates, book a table to avoid disappointment and grab a drink and settle in — because we’re expecting an ab-solutely hilarious night🍻🎤

⚠️ Minimum age 16. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. Expect some adult/explicit humour… so maybe don’t bring Grandma. Unless Grandma’s absolutely feral. In which case, she’ll fit right in. 😂

No joke… you don’t want to miss this one. 😉
