Plaquemine Lock Menu

Plaquemine Lock is a colourful Louisiana inspired pub at 139 Graham Street, close to Regent’s Canal in Islington. Opened in honour of the founder’s family connections to Louisiana, it combines the sociable feel of a London pub with the food and music of the American South.

Creole and Cajun cooking defines the menu through dishes such as gumbo, jambalaya, shrimp and grits, po’boy sandwiches and fried chicken. Oysters are another speciality, served naturally or cooked in styles that draw on New Orleans traditions.

Cornbread, collard greens, fried green tomatoes and other sides let diners build a broad shared meal around the larger dishes. Weekend brunch and occasional seafood boils add different ways to experience the kitchen beyond a conventional evening service.

Live jazz strengthens the New Orleans atmosphere, while beer and cocktails keep the pub identity firmly in view. Plaquemine Lock works especially well for groups interested in regional American cooking, lively music and an informal meal by the canal.
