Wholesome, unpretentious sister restaurant of Acorn House from the Shoreditch Trust. The restaurants support good work in neighbourhoods and promote sustainable practice, local sourcing and real food.
That bit is complicated but the food really isn't. Great tasty, honest and ingredient-led deliciousness.
There is safety in the menu, which borrows from the almost modern classic anglo-european experience but some edgier touches from a smoky rich brandade or tingly black pepper ice cream really excite.
For dinner, its not a "cheap eat" but you can comfort yourself in the knowledge that you are buying into something worthwhile, that the local community directly benefit and that you are not offsetting the costs of eating out by cheap labour, exploitation or poor farming practice.
This place is, however, first and foremost a well run restaurant with excellent culinary standards and not a charity case.
A warm, simple dining room looking over the canal and excellent personal service make this little back street hideaway something rather special.
