A day out at The Book Club
Set in the heart of East London, along Leonard Street you will discover a “former Victorian warehouse” which goes by the name of The Book Club. First thoughts of the name, would not suggest to you a restaurant but by daytime you can find many costumers eating, drinking and socialising. The interior has a rustic and fun feel to it, with a ping pong table placed in one room whilst the wooden tables and chairs, create a homely feel to the restaurant.
By night, The Book Club offers several social events for the East end to enjoy. Events including music, film and even art creates a sense of diversity to the eatery. By the weekend many “local and national DJs such as DJ EZ and Norman Jay” will come along and play.
The Book Club is even doing an art event for many to come along to. The website advertises the exhibition launch of the jungle book quoting “Get lost in the leafy undergrowth and howl with the wild beasts of Puck Collective’s The Jungle Book Club and The Jungle Stories! An exhibition exploring the beauty of jungle fauna and proportional artworks that reflect the true size of the animals, from the great to the small.” The launch beginning on the 16th April 2015 and ending on the 28th June, the free exhibition seems a bargain to not experience.
After ordering their signature dish of a classic ham, egg and chips for nine pounds, I was pleasantly surprised to the type of cuttlery I was handed. The use of different types of style for both the fork and knife added an eccentric touch to the restaurant, fitting to the urban feel and East End surroundings. The food itself was of course delicious and I would highly recommend a visit to the quirky restaurant.
