A modern British dining room, café and wine bar from Nick Gilkinson (ex Garden Café and Anglo) with Head Chef Joe Fox (ex Petersham Nurseries).
In response to Whitechapel Gallery’s temporary closure, Townsend have reconfigured the restaurant’s signature dishes and selected wines into a delivery friendly, ready-to-eat format. The team have also pulled together two supply boxes – Essentials and Seasonal – perfect for those unable to make it to the supermarket in the coming weeks.
