We are a wedding and events venue, a cafe-bar, and an in-house kitchen - all under one roof, all run by one team.
The Hackney sits at 503 Hackney Road, in a building that dates back to the 1860s. It started life as a Victorian brewery - and you can still see that history in the bones of the space. Exposed brick walls, original timber beams, high ceilings, and skylights that flood the room with natural light.
When we restored the building, we kept the industrial character and added modern hospitality. The result is a venue with real warmth and texture - not a blank-canvas warehouse that needs dressing up, but a space that photographs beautifully as it is.
We are right between Bethnal Green and Cambridge Heath, in the heart of East London. Two minutes from Cambridge Heath Overground, eight minutes from Bethnal Green on the Central line. Buses stop directly outside.
Most event venues hand you a list of approved suppliers and wish you luck. You end up coordinating a caterer, a florist, a bar team, a DJ, a coordinator - each with their own timeline, their own invoice, and their own idea of how your day should run.
We do it differently.
At The Hackney, everything is in-house. Our kitchen prepares your menu. Our bar team pours your drinks. Our events team plans your day. Our coordinator runs it on the morning. One team who know the building, know each other, and know exactly how to make your event feel effortless.
This is not just about convenience - it is about quality. When the same team handles everything, nothing falls through the cracks. No miscommunication between suppliers. No surprise invoices. No chasing five different people the week before your event.
The price we quote is the price you pay. One invoice, one team, no surprises.
The people who make it happen - from your first enquiry to the last dance.

Marco leads our in-house kitchen. Modern European cuisine, seasonal menus, locally sourced ingredients. From exquisitely plated courses to abundant sharing feasts, every dish is designed to bring people together over beautifully crafted plates.
Every coffee, cocktail, and course is made by our team - all employed by The Hackney, not outsourced. The same people who serve your morning flat white are the ones pouring champagne at your wedding.
Whether you are planning a wedding, an event, or just want a great coffee - we would love to welcome you.
