While we wait to see what Truman Brewery have planned in Walthamstow, another big new development has just opened.
Crate (not to be confused with the Hackney brewery) have just a new container village called Crate St James Street, designed to be a collection of food and drink outlets and shops (a bit like Boxpark) and a way for small businesses to start up. They have a bar and bottle shop there called Pillars Brewery (that's open now) and eventually will add 40 more businesses.
While there will be shops, hairdressers, vintage clothing and more - we're really just concerned about the food. There are quite a few places opening over the coming weeks - some of them getting their first permanent location. Here's who we know is joining so far:
- Pillars Brewery - Their brewery and taproom is onsite (open now)
- The Green Grill - Vegan street food (open now)
- Baggio Burger - serving up Italian-influenced burgers (Early June)
- Hanoi Cà Phê - Vietnamese street food (opens 7 June)
- Long and Short Coffee - serving up single-origin coffee (Opens June)
- The Italian Bakery - beloved bakery makes a return to E17 (opens 9 June)
- Sheebakes - Cupcakes and more (Opens June)
Look out for all of the above to open in the next few days/weeks and for many more to join them.
