Raise a glass to our food and drink tenants
De Beauvoir Deli
The De Beauvoir Deli on Southgate Road was a finalist in two national awards! The Deli, which has been dishing up delicious meals since 2009, as well as selling local artisan produce, was shortlisted in the National Muddy Awards in the category of ‘Farm Shop or Deli’ alongside five other businesses from across the country.
The awards, in association with Muddy Stilettos, “celebrate and support the most unique and brilliant local businesses”.
For the second year running, the Deli was also named as a finalist in the 2024 Speciality & Fine Food Fair Awards, which recognise and celebrate “quality artisan products and inspiring independent retailers”.
The Deli was shortlisted in the category of ‘Large Independent Retailer of the Year’, and the judges praised the Deli’s ongoing charity initiatives and its commitment to sustainability.
Hector’s
A bottle shop and espresso bar from the morning and an intimate wine bar in the evening, Hector’s is a firm favourite with wine lovers in De Beauvoir.
Hector’s, on Ardleigh Road, has been serving the community with high-quality wines since 2021 and has recently been recognised as one of the UK’s best wine bottle shops in The Times and Wallpaper*.
The wine bar and shop has been praised for its relaxed atmosphere, selection of top-quality wines and rarer vintages, as well as its tasty appetisers to pair with a glass, or two.
Albers
Named after the owners Jack Russell terrier, Albers Café opened its second premises earlier this year on Englefield Road, adding to its site in De Beauvoir Block.
Albers serves ‘unfussy, humble food’ on an ever-changing menu in a comfortable, and friendly environment, which shifts a gear in the evening as the café switches to bistro-style dining.
The cafés new opening has been a hit with hungry locals and has been featured in the Hackney Gazette, The Nudge and Hotdinners!
Well done Albers. Their recommendation; “Try the ham, egg and chips.”
Sweet Thursday
Sweet Thursday is a Neapolitan style pizzeria and specialist wine shop on Southgate Road, serving delicious pizzas on freshly made dough, and other tasty Italian dishes with a wide selection of wines to choose from.
Earlier this year, Sweet Thursday was host to an interview with The Guardian and Chris Van Tulleken, a doctor, academic, broadcaster, and author, who was discussing his book Ultra-Processed People.
Van Tulleken recommended Sweet Thursday – his local pizza place - as the venue to showcase how proper homemade pizza can be seen as a healthy food option for all the family.
With a selection of authentic dishes to choose from, you won’t be disappointed!
