Behind the bikeshed


We boarded The Established Man's trusty steed..a black Vespa and headed to the East End for a long lunch today. Our favorite lunch spot there is Rochelle Canteen, something of a hidden gem in the old bikeshed of the former Rochelle School. You have to buzz to be let in and there sits this little treasure. Today the school is converted into studios filled with such talented names as Giles Deacon, Luella and Katie Hillier and you'll often be sitting next to them in the canteen, if not it will be another artist, fashion-type or interesting soul. 

Today we feasted on the most enormous and succulent pork chop with a swede mash as well as smoked haddock in a wonderfully rich sauce on toast, our fellow diners had delicious fish and lamb's neck with chickpeas. Expect a seasonal British menu and some of the most hearty puddings in town. 

Let's keep this gem between us...
