Some of the world’s finest mixologists including Gerry Calabrese and Andy Pearson have joined forces to launch The Hoxton Pony, a split-level, 400 capacity bar and restaurant in the heart of Shoreditch, London. Fresh, unconventional thinking is apparent throughout the venue: conceptually, Calabrese and his team have taken a variety of antiquated British themes and modernised them. A specially commissioned take on an 18th-century diorama, inhabited by stuffed animals and foliage, is a standout design detail amongst the predominantly crisp and contemporary interior.The mainstays of The Hoxton Pony’s menu – simple in feel – include sustainable fish (& chips) and a variety of pies (with mash). It also offers a range of dishes that have been inspired by its easterly location in the capital, under the banner ‘East End Grub’. The Hoxton Pony Tea Party, featuring cocktails served from self-cooling infusion jars into platinum-coated tea cups with matching sweet and savoury food served on an afternoon tea stand, can be ordered for groups of 4, 8 or 12 guests.
