171 Mare Street, London E8 3RH

36-38 Lordship Lane, London SE22 8HJ

This is from chef Michael Hazlewood who worked at Attica in Melbourne, Australia and more recently at both Soif and The Green Man & French Horn in London and Manager Alex Thorp.Hazlewood from at Fifteen and Vinoteca. It has a daily changing, ingredients-focused menu with a wood-fired oven which they'll be using to bake bread, as well as cooking fish and meat. There's a large wine list - but perhaps a more interesting feature of the dining room are the four 300-litre stainless steel tanks, filled with natural wine direct from the winemakers.
