The Parliamentary Waffle House, an election based eatery and installation by the ever-creative Bompas & Parr is all set to open this April in anticipation of election time in the UK.

To take place near the infamous Carnaby Street in London, each item on the menu will orderable in a variation corresponding to one of the three major British political parties. Orders will feed directly into a live action swing ‘o’ meter that gauges the mood of the country as people vote with their mouths.

The waffles will be made using custom-built irons that employ technology commonly used in the fabrication of fighter jet engines (!) developed by Bompas & Parr as part of a research programme in conjunction with Central Saint Martins MA Future Textiles.

Visitors will be asked to don special hats to demarcate their political allegiance, a soap-box and memo wall will be provided for mouthy partisans to air their views and non-stop political coverage will be screened so drinkers and diners are up to speed.

The Parliamentary Waffle House will also host the Museum of Food vs Politics. Exhibits include Tony Blair’s face on a melted cheese sandwich, (genius) a step-by-step guide to Thatcher’s Egg Diet and the wrapper of the notorious Gummer burger.

In the evenings, the Parliamentary Waffle House will also host a programme of politics and food related entertainment including 'Think Tank Throwdowns' where top ideas men will battle for supremacy, there will be screenings of political films like 'In the Loop', and special lobbying nights too where Bompas & Parr will give the public access to the parliamentary big boys.

In terms of design, the installation unites the perpendicular gothic style of Charles Barry’s Houses of Parliament with the gothic styling and typography of waffle houses across Europe. Apparently, and rather interestingly, Barry’s system based architecture mirrors the processes involved in waffle making... (Also, ever noticed how the portcullis logo of the Houses of Parliament looks like a waffle?)

On election night itself there will be an all-night vigil with celebratory booze for the victors and tea and sympathy for the losers.

Harry Parr, partner of Bompas & Parr LLP comments: “At the Parliamentary Waffle House politician’s can reach out and touch voter’s most sensitive organ: their bellies. We are looking forward to seeing lots of MPs pop down. Qualifying members of the All-Party Parliamentary Beer Group can even drink for free.”

We like this idea a lot so if you're in the captial, go forth and vote with your bellies - politics has never been so fun.
