Add ons

We respect our beans, grapes and grains as much as our veg here at Spinach and have something for every hour of the day on our drink menus.

We source a majority  of our drinks locally and include some great brands like Moonroast Coffee, Good & Proper Tea Co., Momo Kombucha, Thirsty Planet Water, Brixton Brewery, East London and Silent Pool Gin, along with wines from Les Caves de Pyrene.

Our coffee is sourced from a local, independent artisan whose passion bursts out in the silky textures of his Moonroast beans.

Our Smoothie Bar takes plant inspired ingredients and throws in classic yet innovative flavours like our caffeine fuelled ‘My Engine Won’t Start This Morning’ or our peanut-buttery ‘Monkey Flip’.

Our Craft Beer selection draws from some of London’s best brewers, including Meantime, Brixton and Kernel.

If wine is more your speed, our curated Natural Wine selection is built to perfectly accompany our dishes but also stands apart for its depth and quality. Sourced from the well known Les Caves De Pyrene, we have a natural Austrian Grüner Veltliner, an Organic Orange wine from Italy, and a Pinot Noir all the way from the New World and everything in between.

To round off your day with a bit of fun, our cocktails will offer something for everyone!  Try our California Surfer to tickle your taste buds our DeDe’s Hemingway Daiquiri to toast the summer.

TESTIMONIALS

  • We had small plates here that were really lovely. Great selection of meat and veggie options and the music on in the background was great. Very cold wine, which was great. Staff very friendly and the food came out quick

    Lauren H

  • The avocado on sourdough with eggs is very tasty, the salad + protein combos are a nice option for lunch, and dinner offers a huge variety of dishes which are just amazing. I would recommend the courgette and mint fritters, and the seared tuna is to die for!

    Elena B

  • We had deep fried goats cheese and courgette fritters which were lovely and tasty and light as a feather. Then we had seared tuna and cod with black rice, OMG I have never tasted anything like it, cod with rice .. who knew? It was the best food I had eaten in months. Go there. You won't be disappointed.
