The Store in Croydon has been named one of the 20 Best New Venues In The UK by The Independent, and it’s no surprise. When you hear that name, you may think of a local corner shop, but this is quite the opposite of some run down and brightly lit shop. A concrete bar, what feels like a rainforest of plants and flowers, and low hanging warm lighting makes The Store feel warm and welcoming at any time of the day.
The Store also acts as the perfect place for digital nomads and those looking to set up somewhere for a more fun work meeting. Hot desk and enjoy lunch, bottomless tea and coffee, along with wifi, for an epic price between midday and 5pm on Fridays. If you happen to be visiting on a Wednesday or Thursday at any time in the evening, or between 5 and 7pm on Friday, enjoy two cocktails at a wonderful price. Choose from a Classic or Chilli Margarita, Passionfruit Martini, The Store Dirty Martini or Classic Vodka Martini.
Bottomless brunch is kicked off with cocktails that include the classic Espresso Martini or Plum Spritz, or options of bottomless bubbles on a cocktail tray for the table, with everything you need to create your favourite Prosecco based cocktail - raspberries, strawberries, peach puree, orange juice, raspberry liqueur and blackcurrant. Brunch dishes are equally as delicious. Enjoy a Belgian waffle, marinated pineapple, papaya compote and crème fraîche, or croque monsieur with three cheese sauce and braised ham hock.
The evening meal kicks off with starters of goats' cheese with rocket, beetroot, roasted asparagus and toasted almond, before heading into mains like the grilled tuna with green beans, cherry tomato, new potatoes and lemon sauce. On the side, enjoy the forever loved truffle and parmesan fries, before finishing off with Eton mess.
