Taking over the former Nest site in Hackney’s Morning Lane, this early 2024 newcomer is an informal venue offering communal dining on skewers of grilled meat and other small plates (as inspired by Japan’s izakaya drinking dens, but using British recipes and ingredients). No reports as yet, but while testing influencer fave-raves, The Evening Standard’s Joanna Taylor gave it a big thumbs-up, saying its shots-fuelled style “certainly manages to live up to its name even on Sunday evening”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
Joanna Taylor tested out a couple of newbies heavily backed by the
influencer brigade, to see if they lived up to the hype.
A big thumbs-up for Big Night in Morning Lane, which certainly managed
to live up to its own name, even on a Sunday evening when “we find
ourselves doing shots – not out of choice but because they come with the
snacks”. The “juicy pork koftas” and skewered lamb offal that star on the
menu “offer a kebab-like fix”.
