This is Dinerama's third year running at the eastern end of Great Eastern Street. (The closest tube station is Liverpool Street Station or Shoreditch High Street.) In 2015, Dinerama gained a lot of attention as a popular place to visit for after work drinks and street food on weeknights and weekends. The location suffered a fire that summer, but it was quickly rebuilt. The venue also does open for the winter months, and the outdoor section gains a roof. Anyway, I am now working again in Shoreditch for the first time since the beginning of 2015 and have finally made it to Dinerama. I've been out with colleagues to Dinerama during the day when it's not as busy. The images were taken across a couple of different visits.
Dinerama has something for everyone. In terms of bars, there are several located across the venue with three or four upstairs and a few downstairs. Tables are communal, and the downstairs is busier than upstairs....mainly because it's difficult to carry different food and drink up the stairs.
One of the bars upstairs had a wall of shelving with plants, and this is an idea that I've wanted to do for the house renovations but have not quite got there yet.
In terms of food, there is a large variety, but sadly a few of the places are only open for dinner. Fundi pizza and You Doughnut are the ones that I'd love most to try, but they are closed at lunch. Club Mexicana sells vegetarian Mexican street food, Yum Bun sells soft steamed buns, Thunderbird sells chicken and spicy wings, seafood, dumplings, burgers, and barbeque are all on offer. There are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options and plenty of bars.
I do hope to visit the venue again for a taste of what is in store in the evening, but so far, I have tried to barbeque chicken and Mexican. The chicken wings looked and smelled good with the spicy sauce and were a hit with colleagues, and there's plenty of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to try.
Dinerama is open from Thursday to Saturday from 12:00 noon until late.
