If the soup of the day is celery and fennel go for it! Absolutely delicious, with a hint of spicy.
Joy VJanuary 21, 2016Huevos rancheros needs more love, the beans are sweety, not like mexican beans :(
Ping pong's tournament on Tuesdays is great but very high level. Pool downstairs and good music. They love the kings of Leon.
David RodgersAugust 7, 2014Asked for id on the way in wouldn't have minded, except I'm nearly 40!! Then asked for a couple of cocktails, sorry can't do them. Ok nice

Webing | The Social Marketing HubJanuary 29, 2011One of the coolest *social* spots in East London. Wi-fi works great, ask staff for password. Read more
Kay McMahonMarch 26, 2011Friendly staff, no coat check queue & fast bar service despite being rammed. What's not to like?
Emma BJune 23, 2010Art, atmosphere and ping pong, one of the nicest bars in Shoreditch. Watch out for the communal toilets
You need to be chilled out BEFORE you come here. Laid back, slow and dippy service needs a chilled outlook. If you're in a rush, skip this place. If you're killing time, lean back and enjoy.
Richard FoggJuly 18, 2015Distinctly average cocktails. And don't you DARE go off menu: computer says no.
Kate CaseyMay 4, 2011I lost my jacket in here on a night out and it turned up the next day! Awesome honest people
Don't dress smartly - e.g. suit/tie as I saw lots of bankers etc. refused entry on Fri/Sat. Very "Shoreditch", but good food and atmosphere.
Alistair ScottMarch 7, 2012Not quite enough tables, but still spacious. Great with a group, bad for a first date!
