East London’s largest independent brewery, The Five Points Brewing Company, in London Fields, has launched its new outdoor taproom venue with two new residencies.
ACE Pizza has taken over the railway arches for “ACE Under The Arches” and created an outdoor pizza restaurant complete with neon-laden pizza shack.
It will be serving stone-baked, slow-proofed NY-Neapolitan pizzas – and the menu will also feature some brand new pizzas including the Hackney Hawaiian, plus regular specials and collaborations.
On 21st – 22nd August, London seafood specialists Decatur, will be serving their famous Louisiana-inspired seafood boils and chargrilled oysters, as well as one-off collaborations with ACE Pizza.
In another upcoming event, Five Points is giving away a free beer in exchange for donations to The Hackney Foodbank; customers simply book a table between Thursday 22nd & Sunday 25th July and bring donations on the day.
Commenting on the launch, Five Points Co-Founder, Ed Mason said: “We love ACE Pizza, and we love their attention to detail. Their 48-hour cold fermented dough makes for a delicious pizza crust, and their flavours and ingredients combinations are incredible. Having worked with them at our pub The Pembury Tavern, they were our first choice when it came to inviting a food brand to join us at our new open-air Hackney Taproom this summer.”
ACE Pizza is headed up by Executive Chef and Co-Founder Rachel Jones, formerly of Italian-American street food company, Capish. Rachel comments: “I’m so excited to launch our new outdoor pizza restaurant, ACE Under The Arches. We’re incredibly grateful we were able to continue over the past year, serving our pizzas via delivery and takeaway however launching a brand new site in our home Hackney where we are able to serve people directly from our new pizza shack, feels like a very joyous moment for us. We can’t wait for people to try some of our new pizzas. We’ve got some pretty exciting collaboration events in the pipeline too!”
Five Points is also behind Hackney pub The Pembury Tavern which has gained a loyal following for its craft brews.
Now, the Five Points Taproom has been created to allow over 300 guests to safely eat, drink and maintain social distancing at the same time.
Measures for safety and optimised service include welcome hosts (to guide guests to their tables), hand sanitiser stations on entry and throughout the premises, and the implementation of the Five Points On Tap app for speedy table service.
