FEAR THE FEAST presents: BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM ~ 7:00 PM (Local Cake Pop-up)

  • 4 Star 2200 Clement Street San Francisco, CA, 94121 United States (map)

Jess Bhamra (Parminder Nagra), the daughter of a strict Indian couple (Anupam Kher, Shaheen Khan) in London, is not permitted to play organized soccer, even though she is 18. When Jess is playing for fun one day, her impressive skills are seen by Jules Paxton (Keira Knightley), who then convinces Jess to play for her semi-pro team. Jess uses elaborate excuses to hide her matches from her family while also dealing with her romantic feelings for her coach, Joe.

Local baker Francesca of Fear the Feast returns to 4 Star with cake slices inspired by Bend it Like Beckham and their childhood favorite Southeast Asian and British desserts. Expect flavors like cardamom, rose, toffee, and custard — slices will be available to purchase day-of (cash or Venmo) for $12 to ticket-holders while supplies last.
