New opening: Rotisserie and grill focus for Faucet Inn’s Neighbourhood concept

London-based operator Faucet Inn has unveiled details of the food offer at its new all-day-dining concept, Neighbourhood, which opened last Friday (21 November).

The site, in Stratford’s East Village, has a menu that focuses heavily on meats cooked on a rotisserie and a large Robata flame grill. In addition, it is offering a variety of small plates and sharing food, along with a separate brunch menu.

Complementing the main menu’s selection of ribs and classic beef/chicken burgers is a shrimp burger, which consists of shrimps and king prawns in a brioche bun with coriander and relish (£10).

Other mains items include marinated tuna steak (£15) and smoked pork chop (£12).

There are also two vegetarian options. The corn burger, with sweetcorn, polenta, manchego, chilli, coriander and relish in a brioche bun is available for £9; while a grilled market garden – which includes barbequed marinated sweetcorn, courgette, peppers, fennel, red onion, halloumi cheese and a basil puree – is £10.

Smaller plates

The main menu also features salads, sides and a number of smaller plates. These include: grilled sardines (£6); grilled lemon and garlic king prawns (£6.50); and the grilled allotment – peppers, corn and courgette marinated in a secret recipe (£5.50).

Sharing dishes include a fish of the day – priced according to the market value – and a Porterhouse steak for £40. Whole, half, or quarter rotisserie chickens are available as well.

The venue’s brunch menu features a number of conventional options such as porridge (£3), granola (£3) and toast with various toppings (£4). For hungrier appetites, there an 8oz sirloin steak with two poached eggs available for £18.

Homemade milkshakes come in three flavours – banana, strawberry, and vanilla & peanut butter – for £2.50 each.

Sunday menu

A separate Sunday menu offers a selection of roasts, plus two new sharing dishes. The whole leg of lamb is studded with garlic and marinated with lemon and thyme, while the suckling pig is basted in a secret marinade. Both dishes serve four people and cost £60.

The rotisserie is also put to use for a dessert dish. Priced at £5.50, the rotisserie-grilled pineapple comes with clotted cream ice cream and shortbread.

Other dessert items include: peanut butter sundae (£6); brioche & marmalade bread & butter pudding with clotted cream ice cream (£5.50); and salted caramel tart with vanilla ice cream (£6).

The kids’ menu features child-sized portion smaller plates, main courses and desserts. All items are priced £5 or below.

Takeaway options

A takeaway menu leans heavily on rotisserie chicken. Coffee, together with a large range of artisan and craft bottled beers, can also be taken away.

Located close to the Westfield shopping centre, Neighbourhood also offers artisan beers on tap, a hand-selected wine list and innovative cocktails.

Faucet Inn founder and managing director Steve Cox said: “Neighbourhoodwill focus on the simple things done well, without fuss.

“Our service style will be relaxed to suit the atmosphere and our staff approachable, but assertive and informed."
