Pardoe & Wood

Well mannered and slick, reserved yet delightful - Pardoe & Wood is a new, British-inspired quality food retailer on Houndsditch. Seasonal and with uncompromising depth of flavour, this new City meeting hotspot serves Coffee from the Square Mile Roastery (supplier to World Barista Champions) and Tea from the Rare Tea Co., poured from proper teapots. Try the 'Golden Heart' English coffee made with skimmed milk and a dollop of vanilla-specked hand-whipped cream, or a comforting and zingy Hot Honey Lemonade. Devour some Cinnamon Crumpets or an Apple, Apricot & Hazelnut detox bircher muesli. Relax in the fresh clean white decor and plush blue-grey velvet armchairs. And that's just for breakfast! For lunch, Sandwiches are finely toasted, delivered in a heart beat by white-gloved shopkeepers; Soups are always served with free garnish and free bread; for Cake lovers - a glorious case of light, sweet, spongy things await you.
