KERB has been bringing delicious, diverse, independent food and drink to the streets of London since 2012 and we’ve joined forces with the National Theatre and Levy to take it inside one of the city’s most iconic cultural institutions.
Everything from the National Theatre’s riverside boozer The Understudy to the Modern British restaurant at Lasdun (by the team behind the Marksman pub) is curated by our food and drink team! We’re bringing you some of our favourite independent drinks and some of London’s most exciting street food traders at KERB at The Understudy.
We’ve been re-working a number of different food and drink spaces throughout the National Theatre. For now, you can enjoy KERB at The Understudy, Atrium Cafe, Lasdun Restaurant, Forza Wine, GRIND and a series of theatre bars.
THE UNDERSTUDY
KERB at The Understudy is serving up London’s best independent drinks. Kick back with a cold pint from Gipsy Hill, a glass of wine from Le Caves or spirits from East London Liquor Company.
Bringing the flavour is: HASH HUT – the original loaded hash brown spot. Hash Hut have taken the humble hash brown to a whole new level so come and enjoy crispy hash browns loaded with a selection of decadent toppings as well as their special fried chicken sandos, only at The Understudy.
Mexclub sling out their range of authentic tacos, burritos and an array of authentic Mexican sides, while Sireli focuses on delicious, modern Middle-Eastern food, with a selection of flatbread wraps and small plates.
STUDENT DEALS
FORZA WINE
From one rooftop to another, KERB have brought Forza Wine into the Terrace at the National Theatre. With banging sunset views over the Thames, their tasty ‘Italian-ish’ menu and a regularly changing cocktail menu (hello frozen peach margaritas), it’s a match made in heaven.
Forza Wine is open year-round for you and your mates to enjoy a dreamy natural wine list, seasonal cocktails and their ‘sort of Italian’ inspired snack menu. Pop up for a quick bite or relax into a long meal, there’s a ‘whole menu’ option which serves four of you generously. Get stuck into the firm favourite Cauliflower fritti, as well as mozzarella with figs and hazelnuts and pancetta potato cakes and pickled cabbage. Not forgetting their addictive signature Custardo. Cocktails will include classics, alongside a menu including Cherry Negroni, Limonata Bianca and our fave – Frozen Peach Margarita.
From midday to midnight Monday – Saturday.
Lasdun Restaurant
We’re buzzed that we’ve brought the team behind London’s greatest pub, The Marksman, to join us at the National Theatre with Lasdun Restaurant & Bar.
The Lasdun team bring seasonal pies and iconic Lasdun martini to this iconic venue.
Featuring timeless brasserie style dishes, Lasdun’s menu is brought to life through a classic yet contemporary lens, featuring seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and showcasing the very best produce Britain has to offer.
Taking inspiration from modernist design and the rich, diverse culinary history of London, the restaurant creates a world-class destination for Londoner’s to experience the very best of culinary and culture under one roof.
ATRIUM CAFE
Atrium Cafe is your all-day option, serving coffee and cakes from 10am, and salads, wraps, sandwiches and wines from 12pm. In here it’s all about championing local suppliers – most of them Londoners.
