VISITING US
So no, we don’t take reservations, and we don’t make any exceptions, even if you ask
reaaally nicely and have traveled a long way to see us (lovely though that is - we appreciate you!).
From Tuesday to Thursday we aren’t really that busy. We’re a neighbourhood spot and
well, everyone’s at work. So if you have the freedom to do so, these days
are the best days to come if you want a guaranteed table.
On Fridays and Saturdays, we’re pretty busy. On Fridays we might need a moment
to find you a table, but things move quickly. On Saturdays demand is drastically higher,
and we serve a brunch menu all the way through. If the flow is good, a queue
can barely ever build (we like those days!). Sometimes though there is a bottle neck of guests
coming around 11am-1pm and this is when the queue could be at its longest. On average we say 15 minutes!
So don’t arrive too hangry, be prepared to wait a short time on Saturdays, but nothing crazy, since we’re
pretty good at moving things along. If you can, come between 9-11am or 1-2.30pm and you’ll likely walk straight into a table.
We cook a short and creative menu from scratch inspired by local produce grown by small
farmers in Cambridgeshire, Sussex and Kent, sometimes even here in East London.
Our small kitchen also turns out most of our baked goods using a diverse array of UK grown grains.
CAKE ORDERS
We bake beautiful celebration cakes with 7 days notice. Menu and how to order here.
