The inspiration for W12 Studios was simple. It’s a space to showcase and enable creativity – with no two days the same. Partnering with Feast-it, there will be an ever-changing line-up of food, drink and music, delivering some of London’s best creative talent to create a truly dynamic venue, brought to you by Rory Graham, ex-actor and previously part of the Kricket management team.
Open Monday to Saturday and with a capacity of 450, W12 Studios will consist of large sharing tables and communal seating. It will be a space to give emerging creatives an opportunity to express themselves, from the kitchen, to the drinks and music programme.
Food
Partners to include: Cue Point | The Piadina Project | Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen
Partnering with Feast-it, the two rotating kitchens will ensure a constant supply of the best chefs, restaurants, street-food operators and emerging culinary talent that London has to offer. Changing on an ongoing basis, W12 Studios plans to bring in new operators each month.
First on the line-up for the month of February is Cue Point, a multi-sensory barbecue experience founded by previous Head Chef of Pitt Cue, Joshua Moroney, and The Piadina Project, offering handmade street food straight from Romagnola via Lincolnshire. Think thin Italian ‘Piadina’ flatbreads packed with fried chicken and other fillings such as crispy hash browns, pancetta, Italian soft cheeses and pesto mayo to name a few.
In March Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen, serving West African cuisine, will be taking over alongside another secret food trader – to be announced!
Music
The music programme is centred on providing the finest emerging artists, live acoustic sessions, resident DJs and carefully curated playlists. Expect soulful sessions, live gigs, club nights, disco brunches and open mic nights on a rolling basis – all on the doorstep of the BBC and ITV Studios. Confirmed acts include Max Rad, Quiet Man, Tommy Gold, Finn Foxell and P-rallel.
Drink
The drinks menu will focus on innovative and emerging brands, and consistently change. W12 Studios will work with some of London’s finest distilleries, craft breweries, and wine merchants – including The East London Liquor Company – to bring the finest cocktails, beers and wines.
