Pollen Street Social

Pollen Street Social is London’s hottest new urban meeting point. A bar, bistro and dessert bar in one, it has a winning recipe for a great night out. The vibe in the social room is sophisticated without pretention and mature yet fun. Cocktails are truly spectacular, with a modern twist on classics such as The Negroni which comes with candied orange and grapefruit together with a sphere of frozen blood orange and Campari. In the bar you can dine on Spanish tapas making it the perfect place to take a group of friends or colleagues.

If you feel like some dinner after your post-work drinks the restaurant maintains the casual vibe but incorporates delicious bistro-style dishes. Owner and Chef Jason Atherton says of Pollen Street Social, “(it) allowed me to create exactly the sort of restaurant that I would love to eat, drink, and socialize in, not only for special occasions, but also for simple everyday affairs. I just want people to come and have fun".

Last but certainly not least, the dessert bar allows you to watch the pastry chefs bring your selection to life. The menu includes tiramisu with hot chocolate coffee; "PBJ" parfait, cherry jam with creamed rice crispie; and strawberry and tomato gazpacho, black olive sorbet and sweet bread.
