Welcome to Beyond the Batter!

There’s more to a neighbourhood than its streets, and more to a restaurant than its menu.

Beyond the Batter is our journal about the food, people, places and stories that give Fitzrovia its character. From the history on our doorstep to the ingredients in our kitchen, we’ll be exploring the neighbourhood Gigs has called home since 1958.

Expect local stories, conversations with people around Fitzrovia, a closer look at the food we serve and the traditions behind it—and perhaps a few things you’ve walked past a hundred times without noticing.

Welcome to Beyond the Batter. There’s plenty to discover.
