Step into The Light Bar, housed within a historic Victorian power station that dates all the way back to 1893. Across the three floors, we've got the ultimate culinary & party experience waiting for you.

The Restaurant Upstairs: Where our obsession with fresh, seasonal produce knows no bounds. We're all about celebrating the absolute best that these isles have to offer – from the land to the depths of the sea. Bold, unapologetic flavours are our signature, served up with a side of informality that's anything but basic. This is precision cooking with a twist.

After dinner you can join us in the Engine hall or Copper Bar, for a post dinner cocktail. Thursdays to Saturdays, we're keeping the vibe alive until the early hours of 2 am. And for those late-night cravings, our bar food menus got your back – available daily until 11 pm. With Shoreditch High Street and Liverpool Street just a quick 5-minute strut away, we're the spot for your lunch, dinner, and late-night cravings.

The venue and restaurant are very nice, the bar has a good vibe, it's maybe a bit too loud depending what you like. The restaurant is on the top floor and the ambiance is calmer with less noise making it ideal for conversation. The food is great but choices fairly limited with only 4 starters and similar number of mains on offer. Everything we had was tasty and will presented.

The building is absolutely amazing and fabulaous. It seems like quite noisy for ground floor and the outside, but 2nd floor was quiet and nice atmosphere as well. We really enjoyed the dinner!

Hip noisy bar downstairs but with a quieter restaurant upstairs; tables perfectly spaced. Super friendly service, and good food that arrived promptly.

Nice modern industrial style restaurant/bar with massive main course portions. Not much in the way of gluten free or alcohol free options on the menu, but the server was happy to help us find something suitable

Exceptionally patient service for our large table of nine guests... A few were late to arrive and then we were all chatting for ages before finally ordering. Service was genuinely brilliant, great table on top floor, really lovely food too. Will definitely be visiting again!

The service was very poor. Our drinks took 20mins from ordering, one of our starters never showed up but was on the bill, the dinner arrived at different times, the staff didn't seem to know who was covering our table, and a plate of cutlery was left on our table for us to help ourselves. We were also sat at the table next to their patio door so all night had big gusts of cold wind coming right onto us. The food itself was mediocre. Had a good vibe to the place though so would recommend for an after-work drink, so long as you're patient.
