We use Pierrette catering services every week for our over 65s social club and they are absolutely wonderful. The food is always delicious, healthy and full of variety. I absolutely recommend them.

I appreciate the response back from Pierrette to my initial review. Bearing this in mind and the fact that I gave Pierrette another visit. I have amended my rating for Pierrette to four stars. On my recent visit, I enjoyed the chickpea salad (Which was delicious) and a vegan cuppiciano. As mentioned in my last review, the food choices at the moment for vegans are not brilliant but hopefully the food choices will improve when more Hackney Council staff return to work in the nearby offices.

Great little cafe selling freshly made sandwiches, salads and homemade curries, pasta and chilli. The lunch menu changes daily and it is a great place to get your work lunch. Nice friendly staff. My only problem is that they don't take cards, just cash but there's a bank next door so it's no bother.

The paninis here are immense, the Jerk Chicken panini is potentially the best I've ever had. Prices are reasonable, portions are good. They will toast them for you if you want. They also have homemade somosas (usually lamb, chicken and vegetable) which are also excellent.
