Where diners can enjoy the key elements of the current London dining scene in an informal and social setting, and where the surroundings are as vibrant as the food.
Inspired by the buzz surrounding the resurgence of Soho, Social Eating House is a place for diners to enjoy the key elements of the current London dining scene in an informal and social setting, and where the surroundings are as vibrant as the food.
The simple yet carefully created dishes are complimented by relaxed and attentive service in a comfortable, humble setting. Awarded a Michelin star in 2013, Social Eating House is split across three levels, with The Blind Pig cocktail bar on the first floor, the restaurant on the ground floor and an exclusive chef’s counter dining space in the kitchen.
Hidden above the restaurant, is the award-winning bar The Blind Pig, with a relaxed, speakeasy vibe, offering technical and creative cocktails, as well as fine wines and beers.
Opened by Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton and Chef Patron Paul Hood, Social Eating House has an experienced and knowledgeable team on hand to deliver a memorable Michelin experience. Paul moved across from sister restaurant, Pollen Street Social, to head up the kitchen here and continues to develop dishes closely with Jason, creating his own diverse and contemporary bistro menu that highlights his personal style of cooking as honed over their last six years of working together.
Delivering a contemporary and diverse bistro menu, in addition to beautiful sampler menus, Social Eating House showcases the very best seasonal and locally sourced produce.
The ground-floor restaurant has exposed brick walls, traditional white-washed copper ceilings and weathered leather banquette seats. The Blind Pig, has a similar vintage twist with an antique mirrored ceiling.
Social Eating House offers semi-private dining areas, as well as exclusive hire options, presenting the perfect venue for celebratory dinners, corporate networking & canape receptions.

It was at Maze, in London, where Paul worked alongside Jason Atherton as his right hand man; first as Sous Chef and thereafter as Senior Sous. In 2011, Paul joined Jason as his head chef for Pollen Street Social, allowing him to expand his knowledge of the business whilst advancing his own creativeness in the kitchen under Jason’s leadership. Paul opened Social Eating House in April 2013 and was awarded a Michelin star six months later under his guidance.
Originally from Australia where Russell started his career in hospitality, he also spent some time in Canada before moving to London in 2003 where he worked at The Goring Hotel for 3 years as Assistant Restaurant Manager.
