Sitting in the shadow of the Shard & a stones throw from Bermondsey Street our newest venture opened in August.
We took an old pub that had been sat empty for 3 years, and completely stripped it back to the bare walls. Then, by using the likes of reclaimed oak paneling, and copper topped tables, we created an antiquated public house that harks back to the days of Victorian gin palaces
Our food is strictly seasonal and very traditional in the British sense with the likes of pan haggertty, ploughmans or beef cheeks, with daily changing menu.
All the beer we serve is craft, with certain beers brewed exclusively for us, our wine list is very classically French with a hint English eccentricity & we serve a selection of classic mixed drinks that have been barrel aged for 4-6 weeks.

Stylish coffee in the heart of Old Street.
Shoreditch Grind is the beacon of accessibility in an area otherwise covered by sprawling office buildings that beam your reflection back out at you. From the revolving slogans on its cinema style letter board outside, to the exposed, stained white brickwork within, this is a playful coffee house that takes its style as seriously as it takes its coffee. Raised benches and high stools run around the edges, which give a great view out onto the stream of traffic passing through Old Street roundabout. While this might not sound like a sight to brag about, on a bright day it’s something that becomes quite soothing. For a reasonably small venue the high ceiling at Shoreditch Grind lends it a sense of depth and you know this place is really hip because they’ve got the classic ‘private recording studio on the first floor’ thing going on.
Shoreditch Grind isn’t solely about coffee, despite the fact that they do it very well. Sure, fresh grinds are delivered every few days and talented baristas man the La Marzocco machines but in the evening there are whiskies, gins and cocktails too. A concise, seasonal menu turns the space into a bar by night as the lights are dimmed and it’s all about a different kind of grind, maybe, perhaps. And there’s even a large area of decking out back, which just has potential written all over it…
