Battersea Power Station: Arcade food hall to open this month

The second Arcade food hall will open in the newly restored Battersea Power Station next week, bringing brands made famous at the original site in Centre Point to southwest London.

Arcade, which first launched on Tottenham Court Road in 2019, will offer 13 different cuisines.

Guests can experience dishes from new brands such as Phed Power, serving Thai stir fries and salads from the Isan region; a Cantonese concept called Siu Siu, centred on the food of Hong Kong; and Leccami Gelato, an Italian-style gelateria.

Existing brands such as Hero Indian fast food, Sushi Kamon Japanese sushi, Tipan Tapan Nepali street food and Shatta & Toum Middle Eastern shawarma kitchen will form part of the lineup of global cuisines on the menu.

The new food hall will also have two bars; Tap Room and ABC Bar. Tap Room will showcase a wall of 32 taps, serving cocktails using locally sourced ingredients and a host of beers from international and South London breweries.

ABC Bar, inspired by classic cocktail culture, will offer a concise menu of the world’s most famous cocktails.

As well as the takeaway stands to be eaten in communal areas, Arcade Battersea will house three restaurants, including the first from the US-style smash burger joint Manna.

New dishes like the hot bonnet fish filay, where fried fish is topped with hot sauce and served on a bed of lettuce, and a fried chicken and hash brown burger are on the way, as is founder Feroz Gajia’s take on a fast food apple pie.

Gajia said: “The core of Manna is simplicity. Simple, delicious burgers and fried chicken.

“The dishes feel like something you have had before, they are comforting, never disappointing. We have spent time going through each ingredient in every dish, testing every possible combination to achieve deliciousness.”

Completing the lineup of restaurants are Solis; a new grilled chicken and steak brand by the pair behind TĀ TĀ Eatery Ana Gonçalves and Zijun Meng, as well as BAO, the cult Taiwanese brand.

Cokey Sulkin, COO of Arcade, said: "I’m thrilled to be leading the teams at Arcade Centre Point and Arcade Battersea.

“We aim to create a drinking and dining destination to attract Londoners and international guests alike via global cuisines and seamless technology in the historic Power Station”.

Arcade Battersea will open on the 1st Floor of Boiler House at Battersea Power Station on Wednesday July 26.
