Hoxton Street is off the beaten track of the trendy streets of Shoredicth but it has a few hidden treasures that are about a third of the price of its neighbouring streets.

Shoreditch Lunch Club: ROUND 7 – Franco’s
By Lee Abbott on March 23rd, 2010.
With lunch venues running short, By the Scruff hunted around Shoreditch looking for our next victim.
Shoreditch Lunch Club: ROUND 6 – The Japanese Canteen
By Lee Abbott on February 25th, 2010.
By the Scruff’s attempt to travel round the world in 80 lunches took us to Japan in the shape of Hoxton’s Japanese Canteen. With emphasis on canteen, the place definitely had more of a take away vibe inside; very small with limited places to sit. With focus on those in a hurry, the ordering method [...]
Shoreditch Lunch Club: ROUND 5 – Little Hanoi
By Lee Abbott on February 17th, 2010.
Vietnamese restaurant Little Hanoi hosts the fifth lunch club, situated on Curtain Road, Old Street end. The restaurant has signs outside advertising it’s all-you-can-eat lunch buffet. At £6.50, it seems like a good deal. Even though the restaurant claims to be Vietnamese the lunch buffet is anything but, stocking your standard Chinese regulars: sweet & [...]
Shoreditch Lunch Club: ROUND 4 – Zigfrid Von Underbelly
By Lee Abbott on February 1st, 2010.
Round 4 and By the Scruff dines at the trendy Zigfrid Von Underbelly on Hoxton Square. The quirky decor makes for an interesting trip whilst you roam for a seat as Zigfrid’s is a popular location any time of the day. Downstairs holds the club – the Underbelly – which hosts all sorts of acts [...]
Shoreditch Lunch Club: ROUND 3 – Viet Grill
By Lee Abbott on January 29th, 2010.
Things are hotting up in the Shoreditch lunch club and the third round has By the Scruff dining at one of the many Vietnamese restaurants in Shoreditch – Viet Grill. Situated on the bustling Kingsland road you are spoilt for choice if the palate craves the far-east, with two other Vietnamese restaurants next door and [...]
Shoreditch lunch club: Victoria Fish Bar anyone?
By Stuart Edwards on January 20th, 2010.
I passed my local Fish & Chip shop last night called Victoria Fish Bar on Roman Road. This take-away restaurant is seriously stuck in a battered time warp from 1971 as are its owners. It amazes me how some businesses stay open as this is as far away from the Indian, Turkish and Lebanon take-always [...]
Shoreditch Lunch Club: ROUND 2 – Electricity Showrooms
By Lee Abbott on January 19th, 2010.
Round 2 of the lunch club saw us visit the 1920′s esque Electricity Showrooms in Hoxton Square. After entering through the tricky rotating door (a definite health risk come 2am) the place had a nice buzz and sat with a window view of Hoxton street. In the Summer, these windows open right up. Perhaps a [...]
Shoreditch Lunch Club: ROUND 1 – Cargo
By Lee Abbott on January 14th, 2010.
So the lunch club is officially up and running and the first contender is Rivington street’s bar/club Cargo. It was a dreary day in Shoreditch so we opted to eat inside but the place has a great outside terrace perfect for a summer’s day sunning. The offer at the time of visiting was a £5 [...]
Shoreditch Lunch Club
By Lee Abbott on November 20th, 2009.
You know another week has passed at By the Scruff when the stomach pleasing lunch club arrives. Every Friday, as a pat on the back for a hard working week, By the Scruff treats itself to lunch on the town. After a few visits to the numerous eateries in London’s Shoreditch area, we decided to [...]
