Starting out as a food truck on London’s Southbank just five years ago, Tom Adams and Jamie Berger’s Pitt Cue Co. had had a meteoric rise, finding itself at its latest incarnation in East London earlier on this year; following the doors closing on its debut 20-cover bricks and mortar premises in Soho, that had opened just a year on from the venerated trailer’s inception.
Bordering Spitalfields and Shoreditch, Pitt Cue has found its feet in the cool part of town, and has just extended its opening hours to include Saturday night for the very first time — covers have increased five-fold, diners can now make reservations, and their Devonshire Square venue is looking every bit the ‘proper’ restaurant that Adams and Berger could only have dreamt of a few years back.
Having a separate bar area for the first time, the boys have established their own microbrewery, Alphabeta, and have started churning out what they call ‘wonderful, experimental ales’ — which are served up in addition to a range of bourbons, ryes, pechugas, mezcals, and cocktails.
