Hatcher Bistro

In leafy Potters Bar, North London, Hatcher Bistro is a welcoming, family-owned spot where Mediterranean warmth meets Turkish tradition. The team cooks with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and an easy confidence that lets flavour lead.

Mornings ease in with a full English breakfast or an American breakfast capped with pancakes and maple syrup, while omelettes range from a simple mix to sucuk and cheese. Through the day, wraps filled with chicken and halloumi or chicken, avocado and red peppers make for easy eating, alongside crowd-pleasing salads like chicken Caesar and Greek salad. Come lunchtime, the Hatcher burger and chicken fillet burger beckon, flanked by little plates of halloumi cheese or falafel, and sweet finishes of baklava or a slice of New York cheesecake.

The mood is relaxed and neighbourly, with something for everyone, including thoughtful options for vegetarians, vegans and those avoiding gluten. A good range of wine and cocktails rounds things off, making this an inviting stop for lazy brunches and unhurried lunches alike.

Make a date with Hatcher Bistro and let the day unfold deliciously; drop by, tuck in, and hatch a new favourite.
