A relaxed, all-day canalside boozer from Bocca di Lupo’s Jacob Kenedy.

Known for his Italian restaurants (Bocca di Lupo & VICO), Kenedy dishes up Louisiana-style Cajun and Creole food at Plaquemine Lock - in a restored pub set on the Regents Canal in Angel. Inspired by the melting pot of French, African and American cultures found in the southern US state, the pub specialises in oysters, boiled crawfish, po’ boys and gumbo alongside mostly British beers, and all-Luisian cocktails.

The name refers to a lock in Plaquemine (a small town in Louisiana), which enabled timber and the like to be transferred from the Bayou to the Mississipi in the early 1900s and was opened by Kenedy's great grandmother - as the family steamer passed through the lock gates.
