Why go

For sharing different cuisines at one table, moving conversation into cocktails and continuing into a music-led evening without changing venues.

PEOPLE moves from breakfast and long lunches into evening sushi, yakitori, Mediterranean plates and cocktails. Surprise weekday sets, higher energy on Friday and Saturday, and Sunday vinyl sessions give each part of the week a distinct rhythm.

Order this

Choose a few sushi or yakitori plates, add one warm dish to share and ask the bar team for a cocktail in your preferred flavour profile.

Our short order keeps the table focused on what this kitchen does best.

Best time

Go early on a weekday for a food-led visit, or Friday and Saturday for music and a fuller room. Check the Sunday vinyl programme before arriving.
