Do Soho House 'Lite' At The Hoxton Grill

Where: 81 Great Eastern Street, London, United Kingdom, EC2A 3HU

Soho House and Shoreditch House in London: nice places once you’re in them, shame about the hundreds of pounds and membership forms you have to throw at them to get there (or the chatting up of member-y types if you can’t afford the fees yourself).

Tired of buttering up the members pretty much after our first visit (and not having a spare few hundred quid up our sleeves), we decided our relationship with the Soho House group was not meant to be. But right now, we might just rethink things a little, because the Hoxton Grill restaurant has just joined the group.

The restaurant is part of the trendy Hoxton Hotel (that of the famous £1 sales). To cut the mustard in the Soho House family, it’s been put through a refurb and brought out a new menu: a three course lunch will set you back just £15.

Sounds like it’s going to be one to check out. And not just for snobbo reasons — Soho House does excellent comfort food, so hopefully the Grill will follow suit. Plus, you can rest smug in the knowledge that you’re getting a Soho House experience (let’s call it Soho-lite) without shelling out for the membership like the other suckers. That’s our feel-good thought for the day.
