The Culpeper

"Few things are better than getting a drink or two, being overcome with sudden and dramatic hunger, and finding yourself in a pub that also offers some pretty good food. The Culpeper is just that. This pub/restaurant/hotel has a very inviting bar menu, from picky bits to main courses of pasta. And the restaurant upstairs has a slightly larger selection with sharing plates of whole fish or big bits of meat with sides. It’s an easy choice for an unplanned meal." - jake missing, rianne shlebak

"The rooftop at The Culpeper is like the sound one in your friend group—super easygoing and always a good time. The gastropub downstairs provides very fancy food that approaches actual value for money. And there’s a pretty roof garden where the restaurant grows some of their veg and herbs—it’s all very Secret Garden in the sky. Just know that this small roof deck fills up quickly." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager

"Food and soft drinks will continue to be 50% off up to £10, Monday to Wednesday throughout September at this lovely Spitalfields pub. You should also know that they have a pretty garden and a rooftop terrace up on the first floor." - oliver feldman, rianne shlebak

"The downstairs pub is large, airy and always buzzing; a perfect spot for after work drinks. The upstairs restaurant has a more formal atmosphere and the menu is always on point. At the top you’ll find the rooftop garden, where you can eat / drink / watch their produce grow." - Sennep

"For when you’ve spent all your time and money on moving. You’re really into your brand new flat. Which is handy, seeing as since you paid that deposit four months ago you haven’t been able to afford leaving it. The Culpeper is a chic but cool pub and dining room situation, with an upstairs restaurant and a rooftop garden that has views of the City. It’s a fun, feel-good spot where you can either keep things cheap and cheerful with a couple of starters and a pint, or let loose with several dishes from their weekly changing menu. The best part is you can go from area to area, feeling like you’ve had a proper change of scene without splashing too much of that precious rent money." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
