RIVINGTON BAR & GRILL

For all of its trendy Shoreditch location, the Rivington manages to attract a good crowd of people looking for simple, homespun food. Set in a converted industrial space, its whitewashed walls and stripped wooden floors make a nice background to the seasonal menu and the odd colourful design piece from its stable of associate local artists. Whether you eat at the door adjacent bar or jump up to the slightly raised restaurant area, you’ll be in for regional delights from Anglesey sea bass and Glamorgan sausages to Devon red chicken and Lyme Bay scallops.
