D&D's opening of Old Bengal Warehouse around the corner

The Old Bengal Warehouse on New Street near Bishopsgate is the latest venture from D&D restaurants and will consist of over 10,000 square feet of bar, restaurant and wine retail. Think what Conran did with Shad Thames and you've got the rough idea.

The 18th century warehouse is the oldest surviving warehouse to be built by the East India Company. The food and drink operation will take over the ground and basement floors and consist of a cocktail bar, fish restaurant, modern British grill eaterie and wine shop.

The New Street Grill will focus on steaks and showcase the British produce alongside excellent wines. Their menu will include native lobster cocktail and double Rib-Eye on the bone. Fish Market will be a more laid-back all-day dining spot, open from breakfast onwards. There'll be a fish of the day dish and a seafood bar with a wide selection of English wines. Both restaurants will have outdoor seating in the warehouse's walled courtyard.
