Albion and East Group to open Canova Hall in Brixton
The Albion and East Group is to launch its second London site, Canova Hall in Brixton, in September.
This new opening follows that of of Martello Hall in Hackney which began trading in January this year.
The 4,579sq ft restaurant and bar in Brixton will be designed by Red Deer and split across two levels.
The menu will be inspired by Italian street food and offer fresh pasta and pizza, made with 48 hour fermented pizza dough and cooked in the all-wood oven imported from Modena in Italy.
Customers will be able to choose drinks from a cocktail trolley or be waited on by booking a bartender who will conjure up a mix of creative cocktails for the table.
A still will be shipped from the US to enable the team to make their own gin from the on-site distillery. Small batch Canova Gin and Martello Gin will be on sale in both sites.
Sarah Weir, founder of Albion and East said: "This is such an exciting project with so many amazing people involved. Brixton is a close-knit and vibrant community, like Hackney, and we are privileged to become part of it."
Albion and East supported by the Imbiba Partnership, a specialist start up investor.
