Jolene Bakery and its offshoot Big Jo have been a huge success story of the past few years - you only have to see the queues snaking down from both during lockdown to know that.

They have three new openings planned for this year, two of which they have now opened. The first was in the summer, opening in Shoreditch on Redchurch Street and

Much-lauded Spanish chef Dani Garcia has picked Shoreditch as the site of his first London restaurant. We went along to see if the Bibo concept has survived the journey. 

Yesterday we brought you news of a vegan bacon cloud, and today we're bringing you news of a KFC-themed hotel suite in Shoreditch. We are in strange times indeed.

Next up for BAO - they've opened a Shoreditch restaurant where they're specialising in Taiwanese beef noodles. We head down to try them out.

They're opening a proper restaurant in Shoreditch later this month, but Eggslut aren't hanging around for that. 

Eggslut started out as a food truck in LA and now they've gone back to their beginning - serving up their eggy sandwiches to take away.

They've already opened in Notting Hill and Fitzrovia and now Eggslut continue their eastwards journey with a restaurant in Shoreditch. 

If you're unfamiliar with them, let us get you up to speed. They hail from Los Angeles and as you might expect from their name, they're really all about eggs. The main events are the eggy buns in particular, which include the following (all served up in brioche

The latest BAO is coming to Shoreditch and it's something od a departure for the team. This time the main focus will be on noodle bowls, inspired by Taiwanese beef noodle shops (but there will be bao buns too).

Expect cocktails, sushi and DJ sessions from this Japanese spot in Shoreditch

It's been a while since we've had a new opening from Soho House (we're not counting 180 House) which opened quietly to members only) but now they're heating up to launch a new restaurant in Shoreditch. The group has teamed up with The Hoxton hotel to launch Mexican

Shoreditch hotel The Curtain is no more. It's just been taken over by Accor - and they're going to relaunch it as Mondrian Shoreditch.

The previous hotel was a complete new-build so, decor aside, we can't see any major structural changes happening but it does mean that the hotel restaurant will change - so Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster has left the

The Light Bar is taking over a listed building in Shoreditch that once held "The Light". Expect a modern British menu in this three-floored affair, with bar, restaurant and a large terrace too.

Next weekend we'll all be honorary Welsh folk - if it means getting hold of one of Brat's legendary cheesecakes.
