Kultured is a pop-up bar at 21 Great Windmill Street, Soho, just south of Brewer Street, specialising in fermented and foraged food and drinks, including kombucha, a fermented black or green tea. Set up by Alix Caiger and Jono Hope, it's open Mondays to Saturdays until the end of February, but hopefully longer. Visit!
"Soho has a new resident in the form of Kultured, a pop-up bar serving its own naturally carbonated tonics and kombuchas with the best of English spirits, as well a perfectly complementing sharing plates menu of the finest fermented food.
Soho’s 21 Great Windmill Street – a former townhouse spanning four floors – will be the place to call home for Kultured. Open Monday-Saturday from 11.30am, the bar will welcome pre-bookings and walk-ins who are open to the introduction of a new way – the Kultured way – of drinking and dining in the Capital.
Kultured’s naturally carbonated tonics and kombuchas are created from all-natural, English produce – many of the ingredients have been foraged from the East London Marshes by the Kultured team, and others sourced from the best local suppliers. The tonics and kombuchas will be served with English spirits, as well as featuring on a specially curated cocktail menu, including:
- Turbo Gin and Tonic (Gin, espresso, black pepper tonic)
- Winter Kir (Harrow and Hope sparkling, Victory bitters)
- Mulberry Chocolate Tonic (100% dark chocolate ganache, mulberry gin, sea salt)To match the cocktails, the Kultured team has created a menu incorporating a whole host of fermented foods for brunch, lunch, dinner, and bar snacks too. Dishes include:
- Signature East End bagels, salt beef & kimcheese
- Potato cake, Ewes eggs, jalapeño kraut slaw, ham hock, marmite crème fraiche
- Whipped bone marrow, fermented chilli, smoked salt and toast
- Black rice, avocado, sesame tamari brittle, green kimchi
The team behind Kultured are Jono Hope, who launched Bunyardi (London’s first naked restaurant) and Alix Caiger, founder of Caiger & Co. and Salt of the Earth. Jono and Alix have worked together for several years, finding a joint love of all things fermented when they were approached to work on a new café concept early last year."
