About Hoxley and Porter
Our uniformed staff greet you at 153 Upper Street, where the spirit of 19th-century colonial exploration comes alive through every carefully chosen detail at Hoxley & Porter. The potted palms sway gently as guests settle into our restaurant area, designed to echo the grandeur of an upper-class dining carriage from a more adventurous era. We've crafted our menu to bridge past and present – you might start with devilled liver on toast, a proper Victorian favourite, then move to our barley and mushroom risotto with pecorino for something more contemporary. The chocolate crème brûlée arrives with popping candy, adding a playful twist that always gets people talking. Our patterned wallpaper and vintage lighting create the perfect backdrop for these culinary journeys. The bar is where we really transport you to the West Indies. We make our own liqueurs, bitters, and preparations right here, pouring them into distinctive cut glasses that catch the light beautifully. The Regal Roberts combines Earl Grey-infused gin with vanilla sugar and lemon – it's become something of a signature. Our Grog brings together Caribbean rums with our house-made falernum syrup and bitters, a proper tribute to naval tradition. For dining parties and celebrations, we offer flexible spaces to suit your needs. The front area by the bar works brilliantly for casual meetups with its semi-private feel. Our back area accommodates up to 60 guests for more substantial gatherings, while the entire venue can be yours for larger events. We've equipped the space with Wi-Fi, a projector, and PA system, all while maintaining natural light and air conditioning for comfort. Ground-level access and accessible toilets ensure everyone can join the adventure. Just minutes from Highbury & Islington station, we're perfectly placed for your next dining experience or party in the heart of Islington.
