Ordering Strategy

Commit to the 7 or 11-course seasonal tasting menu and opt for the low-intervention Austrian wine pairing.

What to order

Safe first

Soda Bread with Cultured Butter

This signature bread receives 'full marks' from critics, with some describing it as 'most delicious' and 'almost closer to a slice of cake than bread.'

Hungry

Seasonal Thematic Main (e.g., Yorkshire Grouse)

The kitchen rotates menus by season, such as 'Highlands' or 'Sea & Coastline.' Hearty highlights include a 'perfect breast of Yorkshire grouse' served with rich sauce or a 'Mutton steamed pudding' infused with tastes of the sea.

Wildcard

Savory Broth 'Tea'

Described as a 'calling card' for the team, these intensely flavored shots like 'grouse broth tea' or 'Onion broth with Lincolnshire Poacher Dumplings' are totally unique and highly memorable.

Wildcard

Sourdough Ice-Cream

A 'clever interpretation' of bread and butter pudding that reviewers call a 'magical mix' of textured crumb and sweet sugary caramel sauce.

Good to know

Relocated from Hackney to Old Street. Note that Nest will close at the end of March 2026 to relaunch as a casual bistro called 'Tavern'. A walk-in 'Nest Cellar' bar is available downstairs.
