Grounded London - (Near Tower Hamlets, South East)

Hannah Louise I have eaten here on a few occasions now & I can honestly say it’s some of the best food I’ve ever had! The hash is hands down incredible amongst the nachos and many others, the roast dinner is also one not to be missed, I’d recommend the beef. The atmosphere, staff & overall vibe cannot be faulted.

Bareha Ahmed The most amazing Mexican food! I’m originally from Oklahoma and have always had easy access to authentic Mexican, and since moving here it’s been the one thing I miss the most. Everything I ordered tasted like home and was so authentic. Don’t be put off by the bar/atmosphere, it’s totally worth it!

Billie Walker Wonderful pub in a gorgeous location. It says a lot that so many of the staff have been here so long and are so lovely. Food is always great. I have moved to the other side of London, but there is nowhere like it and I still make a long journey to have dinner or drinks here from to time and it’s very much worth it. Sunday roasts are fantastic, as is the menu the rest of the time. Hidden gem!

Annie Gentil-Kraatz We just had our Christmas dinner in Cha Louis and had a really good time. Food and drinks were good. The menu was quite short but food was delicious. Most dishes required a side dish apart from the Pad Thais. It has been stylishly refurbished and the atmosphere was lovely (Christmas music and warm conversations). Our waiters were friendly and especially Sophie. We will definitely go back.

Kevin Coaker We were wowed by nearby Café Cecilia earlier this year, so were excited to try INIS for our anniversary dinner. For a dark autumn evening, Hackney Wick was surprisingly lively, and the team at INIS kindly found us a spot for a pre-dinner drink when we arrived 45 minutes early. First off, the three staff on duty were absolutely lovely - friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The food was fantastic, with the Irish influence shining through in all the right ways. I had the winter salad, while my wife’s duck starter was just as tempting. My John Dory main was sublime, and the wine list full of interesting options - we chose a lovely Vernaccia from Tuscany. We’re already keen to return to try the Sunday lunch once winter properly sets in.

Emilio Hadden Good Mac and cheese wrap, good fries, good sauce. Service was a lil slow but it was understandable.
