AboutAbout Tuck Shop

Tuck Shop is a neighbourhood gourmet grocery store and cafe in Fish Island, consciously curated by locals Jake and Sam to champion British farmers, seasonal produce and independent London makers. This is a nod to the traditional general store as the hub of the community, recreating that childhood excitement of visiting the school tuck shop with treats and quality provisions awaiting.

The space combines an excellent cafe serving some of the best coffee in Hackney Wick (Sam's Australian roots show in the consistently high-quality brews), an in-store butcher focusing on native breed, free range meat from small British farms, and shelves stocked with cult groceries, craft beers and natural wines. Jake butchers in store and can recommend the best cuts and cooking methods, whilst the bottle shop features fresh British beers and low-intervention natural wines from small-scale makers.

Dog owners will be pleased to know that well-behaved dogs are welcome throughout the store, making it an ideal stop for provisions and coffee whilst out walking with your four-legged friend around Fish Island.
