Poppies in Hanbury Street was Pop’s first restaurant and the one where the journey began. The retro-diner and takeaway is close to Pop’s heart as it brought 70year old Pat out of retirement. It fulfilled his lifelong dream of opening an East End chippie and a desire to offer customers a taste of the old East End.

Made a reservation with specific requests. No one had read the message si our request wasn't met upon arrival. They tried to correct however at that point it was too late.

To be seated near the window where there's a lot of different light sources blinking is a lot of impressions, to be seated next to a speaker playing loud music is overwhelming and to be seated where hot air is blowing on you directly is just uncomfortable. The seating we had ticked all these boxes and made it unbearable for my daughter to stay there anymore so we left earlier then i had expected. The food was ok although at previous visits it has been better. we
