Launching on November 11, The Gantry is a new design led hotel set to become one of East London’s most exciting openings.
Featuring 291 rooms, The Gantry will be bringing a thrilling collection of food and drink destinations to Stratford: an artisanal food market from The Stratford Grocer & Co. with integrated café on the ground floor, a dedicated sparkling bar, an all-day restaurant and an 18th floor sky bar with panoramic views across the city.
Taking over the first floor, the hotel’s main dining spot will be UnionSocial. Flanked on one side with an elegant cocktail bar and open kitchen and on the other with floor to ceiling windows and a huge wraparound terrace, the venue combines the ever-changing landscape of Stratford with an industrial-influenced interior.
The food offering at Union Social is a relaxed all-day menu with a global edge, reflective of London’s dynamic food scene and international population. Hailing from Sicily, Executive Chef Salvatore Coco has travelled extensively and his menus reflect this, featuring flavours from all around the world, while elevating local produce from the Southeast of England.
The drinks offering at Union Social has been created by Walter Pintus, an award-winning mixologist who has been involved in some of London’s finest institutions from The Ritz and The Connaught to The Mandrake and most recently The Conduit.
