Slowburn
Slowburn is a wood-fired restaurant located in an industrial space on Blackhorse Lane in Walthamstow, East London. With a focus on open-fire cooking and seasonal British produce, the restaurant operates exclusively on weekends, offering a short and ever-changing menu driven by ingredients from local growers and producers. Inside, the aesthetic blends stripped-back warmth with clean modernity — a converted warehouse that brings together shared tables, natural materials, and a glowing hearth at its centre. Guests are encouraged to dine at a relaxed pace, enjoying the theatre of the flames and the unhurried rhythm of a team that prizes thoughtful hospitality. Anchored by a love for fire cooking, Slowburn’s menu might include delicately charred vegetables, perfectly blistered flatbreads, and slow-roasted meat or fish — all with a depth of flavour only open fire can bring. Its wine list leans confidently toward natural bottles from independent makers, complementing the food with minimal intervention character. Reviewers and regulars alike speak to the warmth of the welcome and the clarity of the concept — casual fine dining for a modern East London crowd. Slowburn is open for dinner on Friday and Saturday, lunch and dinner on weekends, sometimes offering seasonal specials or collaborative events with like-minded producers.
