The Premises Cafe & Bistro Menu

The Premises Cafe & Bistro is a family run restaurant at 209 Hackney Road, attached to the recording studios of the same name. Its warm, informal room and music memorabilia reflect a long connection with the local creative community, while service from breakfast into the evening makes it a practical all day neighbourhood venue.

The daytime menu includes a substantial English breakfast alongside pancakes, omelettes, sandwiches and salads. Turkish breakfast choices such as menemen add a different direction, and vegetarian or vegan versions ensure the morning selection works for more than diners looking for bacon and sausages.

Homemade Turkish dishes become more prominent through lunch, with mezze, moussaka, köfte and grilled food joined by pasta and fish. From early evening the bistro combines Turkish and Latin favourites with grill platters, tapas and smaller sharing plates, allowing a table to build either a light meal or a broader spread.

Draft beer, cocktails and an extensive drinks selection support the later service, while coffee and fresh juices remain available during the day. Group bookings and event hire add to the cafe’s flexibility, but its enduring appeal is the straightforward combination of generous food, familiar staff and a distinctive music studio setting.

Address: 209 Hackney Road, London E2 8JL, England
