Chef Pip Lacey and business partner Gordy McIntyre will open the hicce hart, a neighbourhood pub located in Islington, London, this November as their second site, following their debut at Coals Drop Yard.  

 

The site will echo the flagship’s restaurant ethos; offering British-style food, alongside craft beer from independent local brewer, The Goodness Brewery, and biodynamic and sustainable wines.

 

The food menu will feature small plate-style bar snacks, alongside a full dining menu of sharing starters, mains and puddings.

 

Exclusive events will be held upstairs  including weekly Sunday evening wine clubs and supper clubs. 

 

Working alongside Lacey is Charlotte Harris, who previously worked at hicce before moving on to further her knowledge at London restaurants including Fallow.

 

Agustina Basilico will manage the floor at the hicce hart having worked with Pip and Gordy since the very start. 

 

Lacey said: “I’m so excited for us to open our second place. And, to do it with existing ambitious members of the hicce family, is the dream come true. I can’t wait for them to flourish and see the hicce hart become the heart and soul of the local community.” 

 

McIntyre said: “I personally have a massive love for the pub world; its culture, history, its standing within the community. Having spent so much of my working life in and around pubs I owe them for a vast majority of the people I hold dear. The pub is one of the few real levellers in life: it showcases the beauty of multicultural London at its finest. To have the privilege to become custodians of such a historical site is a real honour.”
