About Time: You Got Your Waffle On at The Watch HouseBy Angelica Malin
Calling all foodies. Critically-acclaimed street food traders and Maltby Street Market favourites Waffle On are teaming up with much-loved neighbourhood coffee shop The Watch House in nearby Bermondsey Street, to launch London’s only dining experience exclusively dedicated to waffles. Here’s what you need to know:
Waffle On at The Watch House: The Lowdown
Since debuting at Dalston Roof Park in September 2012, Waffle On has steadily risen in prominence to become one of the most well-respected vendors on the London street food scene. This new collaboration is the next step for husband and wife duo Eddie and Bettina, who have featured at major events, ranging from Streetfeast and KERB to Secret Garden Party and Camp Bestival.
The Watch House is situated in a 19th century listed building, built to house the guards who watched over the churchyard of Saint Mary Magdalen. The team lovingly restored and transformed their space into a luxury coffee hub that is fast a hotspot for discerning coffee drinkers.
Waffle On at The Watch House: What
Starting on Thursday 3rd September, Waffle On at The Watch House will open seven days a week from 5pm until late. This extraordinary new collaboration between the two popular Bermondsey-based businesses will allow guests to enjoy a more frequent fix of Waffle On’s signature buttermilk waffles, served alongside artisan Ozone Coffee expertly prepared by The Watch House’s talented baristas.
