When it was displaced by the development of the Olympic Park, London’s oldest salmon smoker – established in the early 20th century to supply London’s Jewish community with Baltic salmon – moved to a prime site just across the Lea Navigation from the Olympic Stadium. The snazzy new premises incorporated a restaurant and bar as well as the corporate headquarters and a spacious smokery with viewing gallery.
Forman's salmon obviously features prominently on the menu, in a salmon and crab salad with fennel and apple, or served with buckwheat blinis. Elsewhere it's modern-British cooking – think poached turbot with scallops, clams, baby carrots and chorizo froth, or pepper-encrusted rump of lamb with bubble and squeak and a port reduction. Desserts include a banana and cream tart.
The wine list features a range of English bottles, from Three Choirs, Chapel Down, Bacchus, Denbies and Biddenden. There's a short cocktail list, too.
