A pioneer of London's natural wine and small plates scene, offering seasonal wood-fired cooking in a bustling, airy, produce-forward setting.
Ordering Strategy
Start with the cheese puffs and a selection of small plates to share, then split a wood-fired pizza or grill item. Lean on the staff for natural wine recommendations, as the list is extensive and niche.
What to order
Isle of Mull Cheese Puffs
Regarded as 'indescribable' and a 'must-order' snack; one regular critic admits to losing count of the number of times they've stopped by specifically for these 'gooey' cheesy puffs.
Taleggio, Sage & Brown Butter Pizza
A wood-fired sourdough staple described as 'rich and nutty' from the brown butter, providing a savory depth that makes it a standout choice among the restaurant's pizza offerings.
Basque Cheesecake
Explicitly called a 'slept on' gem by critics, this dessert is cooked in the wood oven to achieve a signature creamy interior and burnt-top finish.
Trout Roe with Potato Flatbread
An 'exceptional' small plate that pairs salty trout roe and sour cream with a unique potato-based flatbread; it's frequently cited as a top dish by those exploring the Hackney location.
Calabrian Anchovy Toast
Deemed 'the perfect bite' and an 'absolute must,' this snack combines high-quality bread with sweet fried onions, a large curl of quality butter, and a salty, oily anchovy.

Good to know
The famous cheeseburger is typically available at lunchtime only at the Borough location. The venue can get noisy in the evenings, and the wine list leans heavily into 'funky' natural options.
