Bonnie Shearston and Tom Sanceau, the clever folk behind Brisbane City’s Red Hook and Coppa Spuntino, have once again collaborated with Public co-owner Jason White to open London Fields at The Stores West End. The gastropub pays homage to classic British pubs but with a distinctly modern twist, and a fit-out that certainly embraces sunny Queensland weather  – a far cry from the sheltered venues of rainy England. London Fields is bright and airy, with sunshine illuminating the sleek finishes through wide windows and an open barn-style door. The long open kitchen and central bar are highlighted by light timber panelling, contrasted by distressed walls, exposed lightbulbs and an industrial steel rack that suspends a hefty amount of wine above the bar.

Ex-Gerard’s Bistro chef Con Tsangaris heads up the kitchen, devising a nose-to-tail menu that highlights fresh local produce. Small plates and entrees range from smoked tongue with parsley and pickled garlic to gourmet pub-style dishes such as the wagyu cheeseburger and lamb ribs with lemon, anchovy and herb. Meats and mains include organic chicken breast with turnips, barley and sorrel, and a sizeable lamb shoulder to share, with side dishes such as leek, curd and ash, and whole roast cauliflower with garlic and almond. London Fields also had a menu of bar snacks to accompany the suite of craft beers, local wines and cocktails, and is open for breakfast on weekends.
