The team behind North London's restaurant and wine bar Primeur are behind this restaurant in Lower Holloway

The daily changing menu focuses on seafood and dishes made with the best possible produce, sourced from the British Isles. Whilst British seasonal produce is at Westerns Laundry’s heart, influences have also been drawn from the Catalan region and parts of Asia. The menu covers the likes of home-salted sardines, seabass and seaweed tartare or raw scallops with fine olive oil, but there’s also beef with garlic butter and croutons, or pork loin with basil and capers on offer too. 

There is also a list of over 200 wines, plus a ‘black book’ of fine wines and older vintages, with the vast majority of these available by the glass - with a focus on low intervention and small scale international producers. 

The restaurant features a pared back aesthetic, reflecting the history of the 1950s building and hidden by a planted forecourt. The restaurant itself, centered around a chalk board showing the daily changing menu, includes hand-crafted interiors with ‘beautiful things made by obscure people’ and lined with communal tables and electric blue velvet banquettes seating and original 1940s chairs. An open kitchen provides an additional 10 counter seats.

Opening hours: Tuesday to Thursday, 5pm - 10.30pm; Friday & Saturday, 12pm – 10.30pm and Sunday, 12pm – 5pm.
