The Ringside Bar

In East London, The Ringside Bar champions bold South American flavours with a Colombian heartbeat. Smoke and slow-cook meet bright, zesty notes: grilled marinated chicken and long-braised Colombian pulled beef folded through a rich gizo sauce. Comforting fare with confident stride, made for appetite and conversation.

Colombian red rice, stained with tomato and spice, sits alongside a crisp mixed salad. Green sauce brings coriander, lemon and rapeseed oil to the fore, while hot pepper sauce adds a lively kick.

Hot sandwiches mean business: the Cuban layers BBQ pulled pork, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard mayo on toasted cheese focaccia, while the Full Monty stacks hot chicken escalope with melted cheese and salad in ciabatta. Lemon pepper waffle fries nod to indulgence, chorizo bites with citrus lift, and plant-based diners are well served by the Vegan Cuban and Vegan Patacones with grilled aubergine.

Whether dropping in for a quick fix or settling in for a spread, The Ringside Bar sets the scene for flavour-first eating. Step up to the ropes, take your corner, and let the rounds of good food begin.
