About the restaurant

Love Shack is an incredible patch of Vegan paradise situated in the heart of East London between Cambridge Heath & Bethnal Green

Comprising three large and entirely unique railway arches and a beautiful decked garden complete with hammocks and it's very own Love hut, we are a restaurant, cocktail bar and events space with an emphasis on creating the kind of good vibes that will make you feel instantly welcome.

Our menu is comprised predominantly of small sharing plates, (mostly so we can show off how good a plethora of vegan food can be) along side some incredible mains and a host of craft beers and outstanding cocktails

Come for an hour and you'll likely stay all day

We often host comedy nights, gigs, open mic sessions and pretty wild parties

What a good choice for an alternative Easter Sunday brunch. We had delicious 'full engish' brunch, very filling mushroom and spinach omelette and berry and cream brioche. Definitely going back, the evening menu looks amazing

About the restaurant

A gastronomic journey of delicate flavours”
A moment in time, a stretch of history, a map of flavours with a modern take on ancient delicacies using traditional cooking methods. The seductive flavours range from Barbequed temptations of Peshawar and Rawalpindi to the sumptuous secrets of the Imperial royal dining style of Delhi and Agra; the succulent kebabs of the princely state of Awadh to sublime vegetarian repast of Varanasi, the tantalizing seafood from Coastal India and delightful dessert from west Bengal Indeed, Namak is the best introduction to the fulsome flavours of India.
Bon Voyage and Bon Appétit!

Bethnal Green

About the restaurant

Fatto a Mano Pizzeria serves authentic Neapolitan pizza & independent craft beers alongside sides and desserts. Our dough is made fresh daily and proved slowly, meaning we're able to use minimal quantities of yeast and our pizzas are light. Our commitment is to quality, and we use carefully selected Italian and local British ingredients from a handful of small, independent suppliers to top our pizzas.

Beers on tap include our own Fatto Bionda Helles Lager and Joosy Hazy Pale from Brighton’s UnBarred, and The Kernel’s Table Beer. We work with small producers as long term partners, including Fior Di Latte Mozzarella sourced from Caserta, Campania and wines imported directly from private Italian growers. The pizzeria menu features classics such as Margherita, salsiccia e friarielli, diavola and Fatto a Mano's scugnizielli dessert, whilst also featuring modern additions including lasagna pizza, homemade arancini and our own vegan 'nduja pizza.

We booked a table for four last minute. We were seated quickly and staff were attentive. The food was delivered very quickly and the portion sizes were very generous. Kids under 11 eat free when parents order a pizza so we found it to be very reasonable price-wise. There is a lovely outside area too with a heater so eating al fresco is a choice. There are trains going overhead so it was a little loud, but we could still hear everyone on our table. It is located near the Young V&A and the tube station so very convenient for tourists and little legs!
