Craft
What they say
“Craft London is a new British restaurant, café, cocktail bar, and shop. We focus on quality in production by collaborating with modern experts, fanatics, and obsessives to craft world-class products through the roasting of coffee, smoking of fish, beekeeping, meat curing, fermentation of vegetables, and the creation of a contemporary kitchen garden. Both the restaurant dishes and the products are created using almost exclusively British produce bought from farmers we know well and always handled with a light, modern touch. The interior is crammed with the best of Britain from Scottish tweed to British limestone and London-designed furniture and lighting.”
Signature Dishes
Wild herb dumplings with mushroom tea, foraged greens and elderberry capers; kid goat with turnips, tarragon, and pumpkin seed pesto; and pollack with leek, wild cabbage, smoked cod’s roe, and dulse.
What we say
In the chain-heavy environment of the O2 Centre, where you can’t move for dopey old burger chains and awful pizza joints, it is extraordinary to find this oasis of deep thought, love, care, and attention to detail. By day, it looks like a posh new restaurant somewhat out of place in the gastro desert, but at night, as lit-up London sparkles in the darkness and the turquoise, mauve, sapphire, and copper of the ravishing colour scheme take hold, Craft shows itself for the temple to good taste that it is. And that’s before you get on to the wood-fired ovens, curing rooms, fermenting cellar...
