Where to Eat on Lamb Street | Spitalfields Food Guide

11/09/2026

There are plenty of reasons to arrive hungry at Spitalfields, and Lamb Street is home to six of them.

In just a few steps, you can travel from Southeast Asia to the Italian coast, with stops in Japan, New England and the great British chippy along the way. Whether you’re grabbing lunch between meetings, refuelling during a day at the market or meeting friends for a bite, Lamb Street brings big flavours together in one easy-to-explore corner of Spitalfields.

Here’s where to start.

Comfort food, perfected: Two Roosters

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the ones that demand the most care. Two Roosters specialises in Hainanese chicken rice, bringing one of Southeast Asia’s best-loved comfort foods to Spitalfields.

Tender, locally sourced chicken is paired with fragrant rice to create an authentic, nutritious plate that feels both comforting and full of flavour. Two Roosters is built around the idea of doing one thing exceptionally well, and it has earned a loyal following by doing exactly that.

If you’re looking for a quick lunch that delivers far more than the sum of its parts, make this your first stop.

Build your perfect box at Sushi Joy

Like your sushi exactly your way? Sushi Joy makes choosing lunch part of the fun with its fully mix-and-match approach.

Build your own box piece by piece, choosing from classic favourites and modern creations made fresh each day. Go light, fill the box with your favourites or try something new, the choice is entirely yours.

Fresh, flexible and easy to enjoy on the go, Sushi Joy is a colourful pick-me-up for lunchtime or an after-work treat.

Taste the New England coast at Mason’s Lobster Rolls

For a little lunchtime luxury, follow Lamb Street to Mason’s Lobster Rolls, the brand’s first UK location.

Inspired by the coastal traditions of Maine and Connecticut, Mason’s puts carefully selected lobster at the centre of an iconic New England dish. The idea is simple: quality ingredients, thoughtfully developed recipes and a genuine respect for the classic lobster roll.

Quick and informal without feeling like an afterthought, it’s just right for a lunch with friends, a break from exploring the market or any day that calls for something a little more indulgent.

Meet Lamb Street’s newest arrival: La Scarpetta

Brand new to Lamb Street, La Scarpetta takes its name from one of Italy’s most joyful food traditions: fare la scarpetta, or using bread to mop up every last drop of sauce.

That spirit runs through a menu of generous Italian-style ragù served with freshly baked bread and toppings made for dipping and scooping. Choose from rich Bolognese meatball ragù, spicy Neapolitan pork or a Sicilian-inspired vegan option, then make sure you finish the plate properly.

Comforting, hands-on and packed with flavour, this is Italian street food that gives you permission to leave nothing behind.

Rediscover fish and chips at Wicked Fish

There are days when only fish and chips will do. On those days, head straight to Wicked Fish.

This street-food specialist gives the British classic a gluten-free twist, serving fresh, ethically sourced fish in its signature crisp batter. Add homemade tartare sauce and all the familiar sides, and you have a comforting favourite made with real care and attention to detail.

Golden, crunchy and satisfyingly familiar, Wicked Fish is proof that a classic can still surprise you.

Follow the smoke to Smokoloko

You may smell Smokoloko before you see its distinctive vintage locomotive stall, and that is all part of the experience.

Carefully selected meats are smoked for six hours over cherry wood and herbs, then tucked into fresh, fluffy flatbread with grilled onions. The result is a succulent sandwich loaded with smoky flavour and made for eating with both hands.

Big appetite? This is the Lamb Street stop for you. Bring napkins.
