Entering with a bang last weekend with a full list of events and offers, Hackney Bridge has opened their giant indoor dining hall, Hackney Bridge Kitchens. Eagerly named as East London’s newest cultural destination, the venue offers a delectable menu of food and drink. To start with, there is 2 for 1 drinks Tuesday & Wednesday on house beers, wine, single spirits and cocktails, a great opportunity to pop down. The space has also announced five brand new traders, who will be setting up shop in Hackney Bridge Kitchens. Purveyors of mouth-watering West indies hot Bakes, Bakes N Stuffingz will be on site with their traditional St.Lucian coal pot, serving jerk pork, jerk chicken and even jerk pulled jackfruit. 

For fans of fresh, healthy and supremely tasty seafood, Simply Hooked will be dishing up everything from ceviche to Sri Lankan spiced fish and chips. Japanese soul food experts Rainbo, famed for their homemade gyoza and hirata bao buns, will be opening their fourth site in the dining hall, and for vegan visitors, Hanoi Chay will be offering delicious plant-based Vietnamese dishes like rice boxes and banh mi. 

In search of the best South Indian street food? Tamila will be serving flavour-packed curries and flakey layered roti as part of their menu. On top of all the new offerings, two of Hackney Bridge’s favourite traders, Filigrillz and Made In Puglia, will be making the move into the Kitchens, serving up authentic Filipino flame-grilled meats and classic Neapolitan pizzas, respectively.

You’ll come for the food and drink, but you’ll stay for the entertainment. DJ’s, live music, workshops and markets, the space boasts an impressive line up, sure to please the discerning East Londoner.
