In the heart of London’s financial district, where schedules are packed and time is precious, finding the perfect spot for a gathering isn’t always easy. That’s why HAZ exists. Across our five branches—Cutler Street, Bishopsgate, Finsbury Square, St Paul’s, and Mincing Lane—we offer something rare in the City: space to socialise, generous tables for big groups, and a menu designed for sharing.

This week has been a reminder of what makes HAZ special. At Bishopsgate, a group of 20 finance professionals sealed a deal over a long, relaxed lunch, starting with hummus, tabule, and crisp filo pastry borek. At Mincing Lane, a farewell dinner for a colleague retiring after 34 years with the company brought the space to life, with heartfelt speeches, laughter, and plates filled with our signature mixed grills, lamb shish, and slow-braised lamb tagine.

For bigger gatherings, our party menu makes hosting effortless. At £42 per person, it brings together the best of our kitchen—mezze-style starters like creamy hummus, falafel, and cacik, followed by a choice of mains including grilled chicken shish, lamb kofte, and fresh salmon. To finish, there’s baklava or poached pear with ice cream, because every celebration deserves something sweet.

Each HAZ branch has its own character. St Paul’s boasts a huge outdoor terrace with stunning views of the cathedral, making it a favourite for alfresco dining and evening drinks. Just this week, we hosted a 70-guest after-work reception there, where cocktails flowed, conversation sparked, and the City’s energy buzzed beneath the evening sky. Finsbury Square offers cosy booths for those who prefer a more private setting, ideal for quieter meetings or intimate celebrations. Plantation is the liveliest of them all—buzzy, vibrant, and always filled with energy. What aligns them all is the same no-nonsense approach: swift, efficient service, generous portions, and a focus on fresh, simple ingredients done right.

Over at Cutler Street, a networking event filled the room, as guests connected over fresh Mediterranean flavours, sharing plates, and glasses of wine. Meanwhile, Finsbury Square saw a lively team reunion, the kind where no one watches the time, and the food keeps coming.

Whether it’s a milestone celebration, a team gathering, or a meal that deserves to be more than just a quick bite, HAZ is where London meets.
