Elephant’s Head Bistro Clapton
The Elephants Head is a hidden treasure of Hackney. Suited and booted with stained glass windows from an old cinema in Victoria, unique glass ceiling to sink basins from Winston Churchills home. This newly refurbished bar and bistro has teamed up with Foodchain, a food supply marketplace, to bring you high quality, fresh and locally sourced food.
On entry you are welcomed with an extravagant bar, serving an endless list of cocktails including an old fashioned collection. If that’s not to your liking then there are also eleven draught beers for you to choose from.
So what is Foodchain?
Foodchain removes the middle man when it comes to ordering ingredients and instead, where possible will deliver direct from the farm, boat or artisans studio! The producers share on the app what they have available daily so that the chefs of The Elephants Head can effortlessly craft their menu based on what’s in season.
ensures that what we as customers are eating are fresh and of the very best of British produce. The Elephant’s Head creates delicious dishes for their weekly changing a la carte menu that is inspired by the best ingredients on the app.
This platform supports local farmers and small-scale producers by providing a route for them into the marketplace. This method is much more environmentally friendly as ingredients aren’t having to be shipped or flown, miles and miles before being served on your plate.
The bread is sourced from Dalston Bakery, who teaches ex-convicts to bake bread.
The freshness of the ingredients is evident in every dish that is served. The wild garlic farmed in Essex married all the flavours in the roast chicken and jersey royals dish. The burrata and pickled chilli dish was deliciously creamy having just been made that morning. I wish I could eat fresh like this everyday!
With the collaboration between The Elephants Head and Foodchain, you as a customer can be certain you are consuming the freshest ingredients in an environmental and sustainable method with no consolation to the flavours!
