ExCeL London has opened Waterfront Street Kitchen & Bar, an innovative all-day dining experience at the Immerse LDN entertainment district in London’s Royal Docks.
As ExCeL’s strategic food and beverage partner, Levy and its design and build arm, Benchmark, worked closely with the Excel team to create modern workable areas, in the 7,696sqft setting. The clever design incorporates zoned areas featuring varying furniture options to suit a number of group sizes, with spaces to relax, work remotely or dine al fresco overlooking the Royal Victoria Dock.
The Waterfront has also been designed to be subdivided into areas for private events, corporate hospitality, and afterhours functions, offering another dimension to event organisers and exhibitors.
The Waterfront’s menu is inspired by street food flavours from around the world, featuring freshly cooked dishes made with the finest local ingredients. Guests can savour signature Waterfront dishes like the Docklands Pie, a creamy fish pie made using chalk farm trout and smoked haddock, served with onion rings, and bubble & squeak. For vegetarians, the Miso-baked Portobello Mushroom Caesar Salad is a must-try, with grilled gem hearts, kos, artisan olives, pickled red onions, shaved Reggiano, rustic croutons, and classic Caesar dressing.
Kevin Watson, Levy Business Director, tells FM Magazine: “We’re incredibly proud to have worked collaboratively with our strategic partners at Excel London to create Waterfront Street Kitchen & Bar. This magnificent 400-cover space showcases our commitment to delivering exceptional culinary experiences with a contemporary menu inspired by bold street food flavours.”
When we launched Immerse LDN, we recognised the potential in our underutilised space and saw an opportunity to further enhance our campus offering.
ExCeL’s Chief Commercial Officer, Simon Mills, adds: “We are thrilled to introduce the Waterfront Street Kitchen & Bar, a vibrant addition to our Excel Waterfront offering.
“When we launched Immerse LDN, we recognised the potential in our underutilised space and saw an opportunity to further enhance our campus offering.
“In line with ExCeL’s vision to become the best event destination in the world, this new space was created to not only serve our immersive entertainment visitors but also to better cater to our core business of exhibitions and conferences. Nestled along the waterfront, it provides the perfect setting for colleagues to connect or for larger parties or hospitality events for organisers and exhibitors alike.”
Open seven days a week, the Waterfront expects to service more than visitors to Excel, hoping to attract the local community with its delicious menu and stylish setting.
