Chef de Partie

About us

Since 2011, the Bike Shed has been a place of Common Ground, where people from all walks of life come together over a shared love of two wheels, whether they ride or not. Our Shoreditch home brings together a restaurant and bar, barbershop, store, members’ club and event space under one roof, and we’ve taken the Bike Shed across the Atlantic with our sister venue in Los Angeles.

The kitchen is at the heart of it all. We serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts Tuesday to Sunday, with weekend brunch from 9am, alongside a busy calendar of live music, DJ nights, themed parties, club events and private hire.

Our menu is honest, generous food, from full breakfasts and weekend brunch to burgers, steaks, salads, sharing plates and house desserts. Everything is cooked to order, we make plenty in-house, and our meat comes from a family-run butcher working with free-range British farmers.
