"At the start of 2025, the highly delicious Whyte's closed down its London Fields restaurant just over a year after opening. Despite scoring a five star review from Time Out for the 'simple east London space with one of the city's hottest chefs in charge', and securing a place in both our best restaurants in Hackney and best new restaurants in London lists, chef Whyte Rushen and restaurateur Livi Akers shut up shop after 15 months. The team then went on on a 'world tour', cooking at 30 cities across the globe. Think of it as a culinary gap year."
"Taking place at Clara's Bistro in Shoreditch from January 17-20, the stint will be inspired by the eateries of Tokyo, where Whyte's recently held a three-week residency. Dishes on the 14-dish menu include eel three ways (sweet BBQ unagi, nori tempura and smoked eel skin broth); roasted kippers with house tartare potato salad; drunken clams, karaage quail, slow cooked pig ear roll, and char sui honey chicken."
Whyte's London Fields restaurant closed in early 2025 after 15 months despite strong reviews and inclusion on local best-restaurant lists. Chef Whyte Rushen and restaurateur Livi Akers then travelled internationally, cooking in 30 cities during a 'world tour'. The team returned to London for a festive pop-up at Dalston's Marquee Moon and will stage a four-day izakaya-style residency called Rotten Octopus. The residency runs at Clara's Bistro in Shoreditch from January 17–20 and draws inspiration from Tokyo eateries, following a recent three-week residency there. The 14-dish menu features eel three ways, roasted kippers, drunken clams, karaage quail, pig ear roll and char sui honey chicken.
