Nest Restaurant: A Sustainable Culinary Journey Through British Landscapes

Nestled in a beautiful Victorian building near Shoreditch Town Hall, Nest Restaurant offers a unique dining experience centered around hyper-seasonal British produce and sustainable practices. Founded by trio Johnnie Crowe, Luke Wasserman, and Toby Neill, this intimate 24-seat restaurant has quickly established itself as one of London's most thoughtful dining destinations.

A Revolutionary Approach to Sustainability

What sets Nest apart is its innovative approach to reducing waste and promoting sustainability. The restaurant divides the year into four distinct 'seasons' based on British landscapes - Sea & Coastline, Rivers & Valleys, Highlands, and Forest & Game. During each season, they focus on just one type of meat, taking a nose-to-tail approach that ensures nothing goes to waste.

Currently in their Rivers & Valleys season, the menu showcases ingredients like Chalk Stream Trout, Aged Duck, Wild Garlic, and Smoked Eel - all sourced from small-scale sustainable farms and ethical producers across Britain.

Exceptional Tasting Menus

Nest offers two tasting menu options: a shorter menu at £70 (available mid-week and for lunch) and their signature menu at £90 (exclusive on Friday and Saturday evenings). Each dish on the menu focuses on two hero ingredients, offering a snapshot of the season's finest flavors.

The carefully crafted wine pairings (£65, or premium at £90) complement the geographical theme of each season, featuring low-intervention wines from regions connected to rivers and valleys during the current season.

Intimate Dining Experience

The restaurant's design enhances the dining experience with its open kitchen, horseshoe counter, and cozy candlelit dining area. For those looking to extend their visit, the newly added Nest Cellar offers a walk-in bar space serving a selection of natural wines, cocktails, and British beers alongside seasonal snacks.

With consistently glowing reviews praising both the food and warm service, Nest Restaurant delivers a dining experience that's not just delicious but also thoughtful and sustainable - a true celebration of British produce at its finest.
