Acorn House is an exciting new restaurant venture offering exceptional quality food with a fresh, seasonally evolving menu. Every aspect from design through to delivery aims to be environmentally conscious and sustainable.

We are also a social enterprise created by the Shoreditch Trust which delivers hands on training while offering the staff of Terrence Higgins Trust and the community glamorous fresh food in an eco-friendly way.

In the summer of 2005 restaurant manager Jamie Grainger-Smith and head chef Arthur Potts bumped into one another in a Muswell Hill café. Over coffee and a conversation on sterile establishment restaurants they began to develop a new concept for restaurant culture.

'We've always recycled, tried to conserve energy and home and be ethical,' explains Jamie, 'We wanted our work to reflect our values and the way we live our lives at home to spill into our careers.'
