Nice branding
So I was catching up with some reading in the latest issue of East17 last week and there was an article about Bestowed Kitchen. Following a good review in the Walthamstow Life Facebook page I went along with my partner and her parents to the popup venue on Hoe Street.
It was understandably busy on a Saturday lunchtime. Yet again we have shabby chic with the extra twist that most of the furniture has price tags. I felt like I was having a meal in a thrift shop. The counter seemed to be constructed from pallatte wood and there was art on the walls from local artists. They specialise in nice salads with other food; we only saw the option of chicken but there were 5 different salads.
They have hot drinks, soft drinks and a selection of ELB beers from Stratford.
Mmm, chicken and salad. (£8 for a ‘main’ and two salads)
So the salad was very nice. The food style remninds me a lot of the Peyton & Byrne menu. Sadly in the busy rush our drinks were forgotten so I had to remind them; with the cutlery at the ‘start’ of the counter I got the impression of foodies with little experience of the practicalities of running a cafe. Their web site details their outside catering, which I suspect their strength lies.

We finished off with desserts which were very nice.
I’m glad we have had another successful popup in the council shop. There have been a number of successful projects there and I hope this is another local business given a boost.
