Big Night

Having taken over the former Nest space, Big Night is the kind of laidback spot that's perfect for, well, a big night out. Inspired by Japanese izakayas, this lively Hackney spot puts all sorts of delicious British produce on sticks and cooks them over a charcoal grill, with influences coming from all over Asia. It's a boisterous place for having life-affirming chats over tasty bites, the food soaking up the accompanying booze as you let off some steam with your mates.
