Summary
“This crisp, clean, chic warehouse” with “big industrial windows” in Cambridge Heath is, say fans, the “perfect, perfect, perfect spot for a lovely weekend brunch” or a “lush lunch with oysters and Champagne”. A hipster haven for 15 years, it still rates well for its “delicious food” and an atmosphere boosted by live music.
Summary
Occupying “a great open space”, this hip warehouse-conversion in Cambridge Heath has been a “lively” East End feature – particularly for brunch – since ‘cool’, ‘East End’ and ‘restaurant’ first appeared in the same sentence; live music is a regular feature.
Summary
“Its hip heyday is a decade in the past, and it’s now a tourist trap for those in search of cool east London” – that’s the cynical view on this light and airy warehouse-conversion, but more numerous are fans who still tip it as a fun brunch haunt.
Summary
Critics may say it’s “trading on its five minutes of fame as the original hipster hangout ten years ago”, but most reports say this East End warehouse-conversion is “hard to find, but worth the effort” – “a light and airy space, with a solid range of offerings (particularly drinks…)”
