Looking for somewhere to host your next event in East London, with a relaxed feel and tasty menu? If great Vietnamese is high on your list, then take a look at Viet Grill in east London, a local favourite with a private dining space.
You'll find Viet Grill on what those in the know call 'Pho Mile' in Shoreditch, a section of this quirky area that's known for authentic Vietnamese restaurants. Viet Grill is on the bustling Kingsland Road and has developed its menu around a street food premise, with smaller dishes that can be shared with the table, inspired by different regions of Vietnam.
Group bookings are welcomed, whether it be a corporate event or team meal out, or even a wedding reception or birthday party. In these cases, the team are more than happy to make a bespoke menu with you, create a selection of canapes while your guests mingle and get introduced, or even create a set menu to make things easier for pre-booking.
For an idea of what to expect, though, there's the online menu - and believe us when we say you'll be spoilt for choice. First if all, there's plenty of starters and smaller plates, such as steamed rice rolled crepes filled with beansprouts, sausage, homemade Vietnamese ham, cucumber and shallots. These are best enjoyed alongside nibbles like prawn crackers, salted almonds, grilled aubergines decorated with minced pork and peanuts, and anchovied chicken wings.
As for mains, there's a selection of currys available, like king prawn curry, lamb neck curry and coconut chicken curry, all at different levels of spice. We also like the sound of the different stews, for example, campfire steak stew, or pork belly. As mentioned, sometimes set menus are the way to go, and Viet Grill provides a mix of starters with the option of a maid dish, which can make things much easier.
