London Pop-Up Restaurant Goes Organic for Charity

Jo Wood is throwing a party - but she didn't invite the guests - they're paying to eat at her London home.

The former wife of rock star Ronnie Wood creates a pop up restaurant twice a year serving organic food prepared by a top London chef.

[Jo Wood, Businesswoman and Former Model]:
I wanted to do it, I just thought it would really be great. It's a way of educating people that you can eat organic food, sustainable local food and you can have wonderful meals with it."

Jo says anyone came come to Mrs Paisley's Lashings - even Ronnie.

[Jo Wood, Businesswoman and Former Model]:
"He's quite welcome but as long as he brings his credit card and pays for his dinner."

Although a competent cook herself, Jo's enlisted the help of leading restauranteur Arthur Potts Dawson.

[Arthur Potts Dawson, Restauranteur]:
"We could have built a marquee out the back and put in ovens and a whole team but it takes away the sort of homeliness of it and also last time we did it we had a wonderful experience because the team gets involved with the people in the house with the kids with Jo and it's a really good laugh."

Arthur and Jo are old friends. As well as working at some of London's best known eateries Arthur is also the nephew of rock royalty Mick Jagger.

[Arthur Potts Dawson, Restauranteur]:
"I cooked him a seagull egg omelette once which he loved. I bought the seagulls eggs which were extremely rich and full of flavor and I had about 12 of them ready for lunch and he came down at breakfast time and said could you just make me an omelette and I said oh I er haven't got any eggs yet, he said oh just the seagulls eggs. So I did a seagull egg omelette and asparagus for breakfast and I think that was one of the best meals he's ever eaten."

[Jo Wood, Businesswoman and Former Model]:
"I'll be very nervous about quarter to seven, that's when I'll be sort of freaking out looking at the tables, but once tonight's over with, it just runs smoothly."

35 guests will sit down with Jo every night for 10 days.

Model Kate Moss, Top Shop boss Philip Green and tennis veteran Pat Cash have all enjoyed Mrs Paisley's Lashings in the past.

But you don't have to be famous to attend.

Dinner with David Beckham perhaps or even Robbie Williams could be yours for just 100 pounds!
