PLATES AND SHAKERS: A STORY IN EVERY BITE

Welcome to Plates & Shakers — where cocktails come with plot twists, tapas tell tales, and nothing is ever quite what it seems.

 

Step inside and something shifts. The outside world fades. Time stretches, softens, smiles. This isn’t just a bar — it’s a little world of wonder, stitched together from old books, flickering candlelight, velvet chairs, and curious treasures collected from around the UK and beyond it’s horizon.

 

Here, menus are hidden inside vintage novels. Drinks arrive cloaked in smoke or crowned with petals. Tapas plates dance between Mediterranean soul and playful invention — Greek warmth, Spanish sparkle, and a whisper of chaos from the kitchen.

 

Every bite is a surprise.

 

Every sip, a story.

 

Our cocktails are crafted by co-founder and head mixologist Milena — or Milka, the magician behind the bar. With fearless creativity and a flair for the unexpected, she turns spirits into poetry and glassware into theatre. No drink is ordinary. Some come with poems.

 

Others with punchlines. All with a touch of enchantment.

 

And behind the scenes, co-founder George and head chef Marcin bring fire and finesse to every dish.

Together, they create a menu that’s bold, comforting, a little wild — and entirely unforgettable.

At Plates & Shakers, we don’t follow a theme. We follow feeling. And we invite you to do the same.

 

So come in. Come curious.

 

Let the story unfold around you — one cocktail, one tapas, one delicious moment at a time…

 

Plates & Shakers A bar? Yes.

 

But also a dream, in three courses and a twist…
