The fixed prices here are timed to the station
Spital Square, Commercial Street and Bishopsgate run on the same clock: an hour for lunch, then an hour to fill before a train. The set menus in these streets are written for that clock, and most have finished serving the fixed price before the evening properly starts. Inside one short walk, that price buys a bento box at UBA or a Michelin-starred lunch under a schoolhouse ceiling.
Galvin La Chapelle keeps its window tight, 11.45am to 2.15pm, a few minutes from the concourse. Manteca hands its set lunch a pasta that rotates, Monday to Friday. UBA takes the middle of the week and puts all four courses down at once.
Lunch stretches well past the hour at Hawksmoor Spitalfields, which takes set menu orders until 5.45pm on Wednesday and Thursday. Kolamba East stops at 3pm and opens again at 5pm. For anyone weighing up what a fixed price includes, What is a set menu? covers the ground.
Evenings and Sundays keep the fixed price
Past the lunch hour the idea holds, and the menus that take over are built around the whole table. som saa sends out snacks, salad, curry, greens and rice for everyone, under the dark timber beams of a warehouse it has occupied since 2016. Bubala keeps its tasting menu to the evening, which makes dinner the reason to walk to Spitalfields.
Hawksmoor Spitalfields switches to an early evening menu on Monday and Tuesday, in the 45 minutes from 5pm. Kolamba East's second window is short too, 5pm to 6pm. Both finish early enough to leave the night open, the logic that also drives pre-theatre set menus in London.
Sunday belongs to Duck & Waffle, where the beef or the lamb is carved with the City laid out through floor-to-ceiling windows. All set menus near liverpool street holds the rest of the neighbourhood, and every set menu guide reaches the rest of London.
