Bread Street Kitchen & Bar, Limehouse

Bread Street Kitchen and Bar in Limehouse is a Gordon Ramsay restaurant at 44 Narrow Street, in the riverside building long known as The Narrow. It occupies a Grade II listed former dockmaster's house on the north bank of the Thames, with wide views over the water. For weddings it offers exclusive hire of the whole restaurant, a private dining room and a terrace.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

GLW recommends this spot for couples who want a relaxed riverside reception run by one experienced restaurant team. With exclusive hire you have the whole place to yourselves, and the private room suits a smaller dinner with your closest people. It pairs well with a register office ceremony in the morning followed by a long lunch or dinner by the river.

Ceremonies

The restaurant is set up for wedding receptions rather than ceremonies. It does not publish a ceremony licence, so plan to marry elsewhere first unless the events team confirms otherwise.

Receptions and food

Food is cooked in house, using British ingredients with a Mediterranean influence, and brunch menus are also offered. Outside caterers and your own alcohol are not allowed. The spaces are:

• The whole restaurant, for up to 120 seated or 200 standing
• The Boat House, a private dining room for up to 35 seated or 40 standing
• The terrace, a semi-private outdoor area for up to 32 seated or 80 standing

The terrace is available from midday until 5pm, so it works well for drinks and photos before you move inside. The venue is licensed for alcohol until midnight.

Getting there and the area

Narrow Street runs along the river in Limehouse, east London. Limehouse station, with DLR and c2c trains, is a short walk away, and Canary Wharf is under a mile away. There is no parking at the venue, so public transport or taxis are the easiest options. Limehouse Basin and the Thames Path are close by for a stroll and photos.
