Love Shack is an incredible patch of Vegan paradise situated in the heart of East London between Cambridge Heath & Bethnal Green

Comprising three large and entirely unique railway arches and a beautiful decked garden complete with hammocks and it's very own Love hut, we are a restaurant, cocktail bar and events space with an emphasis on creating the kind of good vibes that will make you feel instantly welcome.

Our menu is comprised predominantly of small sharing plates, (mostly so we can show off how good a plethora of vegan food can be) along side some incredible mains and a host of craft beers and outstanding cocktails

Come for an hour and you'll likely stay all day

We often host comedy nights, gigs, open mic sessions and pretty wild parties

    Chaotic environment, didn’t have orange juice (a basic) staff a little confused with the menu and what was going on! Food however was amazing so this made up for it. Place is very ramshackled and dusty but maybe thats part of the charm!

    The food here is always so good. They might have been a little under water in terms of staffing. It took us a long time even to get menus and in general getting a server was slow. The food came out pretty promptly though. One of my favourite places in London.

    Amazing vegan food and really good portions. The oyster mushroom wings were incredible, definitely the star of the show. We chose the gochugang sauce for these - would highly recommend with the chipotle slaw. Tofu dish was also yummy. Staff were so attentive and friendly and love the eclectic decor. Will definitely be coming back for more, want to try the brunch menu!

    I recently discovered Love Shack and this was my second visit and first time having food - brunch. I had the Vegan Pancakes with added vegan bacon and my friend had Patatas Bravas. The food was delicious and my dirty chai drink was great. I tried the Chaga Cacao drink with ceremonial grade cacao on my last visit and it was fantastic! I love the decor here and the service is great. I'll definitely be back.

    I cannot praise Love Shack enough. The staff are relaxed and super friendly. The food was absolutely on point. We ate the no sun duck which never fails to disappoint and then the deep fried mushroom ‘wings’ truly phenomenal. I’m a big fan of the two james/Jamie’s place… love it 😍

    I had been wanting to try this spot for a really long time and decided to go with a few friends for my birthday. The food and drinks were incredible. The service was friendly and attentive and the venue is cosy with the best vibe. I'm already obsessed and can't wait to check out an event night. Thanks for an incredible night guys... Those pickle backs were the best! :)

    This was my favourite restaurant and a place I’ve booked many times. But this time was a huge letdown. I don’t know what was going on but the attentive and caring staff were basically none existent on this visit. I’d booked for a large group for a party, but instead of paying us any attention the staff seemed wholly focussed on the even bigger party outside. We basically got ignored most of the night and had to keep going to the desk out front to get service. In addition to that the burgers were cold when they arrived. The menu seems to have reduced quite drastically and there’s little to no food on it that appears to be made fresh on site. It’s really sad as I’ve loved the place up until now. What a let down and what a poor show for my 10 friends that I really wanted to have a great birthday with me.

    Went on a Saturday morning. Ordered two breakfasts and two drinks. Food came an hour after ordering and was also different to what it said on the menu. The breakfast itself was very nice, as was the coffee and smoothie. The staff we talked to were also very nice. They also added a 12% service charge without mentioning this whilst charging me, or offering to give us the receipt.

    Super quirky fun venue. Food was quite expensive considering it was very far from Fine Dining. Also portions seemed quite small, especially for a sharing plate. But if you want to pleasantly surprise a gen Z, then this should work.

    My niece is dairy intolerant so finding a good value vegan restaurant in London is difficult (many are quite over priced in my opinion) but Love Shack was extremely reasonably priced and the food was AMAZING!! Great ambiance too! We’ll definitely be back!

    Lovely joint ie bohemian paradise located heart of Hackney! I was asked if I wanted my booking indoors or outside, I knew right away, outside was located on a busy road, so I knew inside would be more desirable! Once inside I felt the love that had gone into the place, really exceptional! Food was delicious so much care and love the taste was delicious, would definitely go back again! Staff was super friendly also, a great place to eat!
