Brat x Climpson's Arch began as a temporary residency in 2020 and is now an established neighborhood restaurant in London Fields, Hackney. It is known for its unique setting underneath a railway arch, retaining the original roasting machine from the Climpson & Sons coffee roastery. The restaurant offers a 'rackety, freestyle vibe' and is associated with chef Tomos Parry.
Customer feedback indicates that while the food generally offers 'amazing flavours' and 'tastes good', service is a significant area for improvement. Common complaints include slow service, long waits for food (even starters), missed orders, and a lack of compensatory gestures for these issues. Some found portions small, mains subpar for the price, and the atmosphere noisy due to overhead trains. There were also isolated incidents of dirty glasses and hair in food. Despite these criticisms, many reviewers expressed a willingness to return if service standards improved.
The restaurant is a collaboration between the acclaimed Brat restaurant and Climpson's Arch. It is also described as having an 'occasional dance floor' and is part of the Super8restaurants group.
The restaurant is open Wednesday-Thursday from 5pm-10pm and Friday-Sunday from 12pm-10pm. Given reviews mentioning noise from overhead trains, visiting during quieter periods or opting for indoor seating might enhance the experience. Early dinner on weekdays or late lunch on weekends could be less busy.
